Ep. 64 - Totally True Facts #3: The Totally True Story of the Super Villain, Blofeld, from the James Bond Franchise, Based on Real Facts
Ian Fleming created epic bad guys – Auric Goldfinger, Odd Job, Paco Scaramanga, Mr. Big… but in my mind, the best of them all was that Nehru-jacket wearing, scar-faced, kitty lover, Ernst Stavro Blofeld. I wondered if Fleming drew that character from his past in British Naval Intelligence. What I found, surprised and shocked me, as the basis for this character traced to our current times.
