OK, Sean Connery fit the bill. I see little Black African in this guy.
Rubirosa was charming, handsome, savvy and a quick draw. He worked as a diplomat under Rafael Trujillo’s dictatorship. Some say Rubirosa was an assassin.....sent to embassies to make sure Trujillo got his share.....or else.
However he was not 007’s inspiration.
Bond’s creator, Ian Fleming, likely drew inspiration from more than one secret agent he learned of, from his own real life experience working with British naval intelligence.
Inspirations for Bond might have included secret agents and double agents Fleming knew of.
