About Barbara Broccoli
Barbara Dana Broccoli is an American-British film and stage producer, best known internationally for her work on the James Bond film series. With her half-brother Michael G. Wilson, Broccoli held overall creative control of the Bond film franchise until 2025, when it was ceded to Amazon MGM Studios. They reportedly sold the creative rights to Amazon for an estimated $1 billion, with the exact structure of the deal not publicly known. Chitty Chitty Bang Bang later transferred to Broadway, but it received poor reviews and closed with the loss of a large proportion of the initial $15 million investment. Broccoli became President of the National Youth Theatre after the success of their 60th Anniversary Diamond Gala at Shaftesbury Theatre in 2016. Broccoli's involvement with Chariots of Fire extended back to 1980, when she introduced her friend Dodi Fayed to the screenplay; he later co-financed the film and became its executive producer.
