| Biography |
Born into a wealthy and influential English family, Ian Fleming spent his early years attending top British schools such as Eton and Sandhurst military academy. He took to writing while schooling in Kitzbuhel, Austria, and upon failing the entrance requirements for Foreign Service joined the news agency Reuters as a journalist - winning the respect of his peers for his coverage of a 'show trial' in Russia of several Royal Engineers on espionage charges. Fleming briefly worked in the financial sector for the family bank, but just prior to the Second World War was recruited into British Naval Intelligence where he excelled, shortly acheiving the rank of Commander. When the war ended, Fleming retired to Jamaica where he built a house called "Goldeneye", took up writing full-time and created the character that would make him famous - British Secret Service agent James Bond, in a novel called "Casino Royale". Fleming spent the rest of his life writing and travelling the world, but as his Bond character reached new heights of popularity on movie screens, Fleming was in ailing health. He died of a heart attack in England in August 1964 at the age of 56.

| Trivia |
- Half-brother of cellist Amaryllis Fleming.
- Featured in the novel "James Bond: The Unauthorized Biography of 007" by John Pearson. This novel, which is considered part of the Bond canon by some, suggests that Bond was real and that Fleming wrote stories based on Bond's real-life adventures as a strange way of hiding classified information "in plain sight."
- Cousin of Christopher Lee
- He died on his son's birthday (12th of August 1964). Casper died of a drug overdose in Jamaica in 1974. Anne survived them both, and died in 1981. Her son by her first marriage, Raymond Arthur O'Neill, is now the 4th Baron O'Neill.
- His wife, Anne Geraldine Charteris, was the granddaughter of the 9th Earl of Wemyss, and had been previously married to Shane O'Neill, 3rd Lord O'Neill (she was his widow) and then to Esmond Cecil Harmsworth, 2nd Viscount Rothermere, whom she divorced to marry Ian. Anne and Ian had one son, Casper Robert Fleming, born 12th of August 1952.
- The largest collection of Ian Fleming's novels is located at the Lilly Library, on the Indiana University campus, Bloomington, Indiana.
- His James Bond novels and story elements were originally used in the films, beginning with Dr. No (1962). The last James Bond movie to use elements from Fleming's stories was Licence to Kill (1989).
- His home in Jamaica was named "Goldeneye", and was the source of the name of the 1995 James Bond movie.
- His elder brother Peter Fleming (a travel writer of some note in the 1930s) was married until his death to actress Celia Johnson (Brief Encounter (1945)). His nieces Kate Fleming (now Grimond) and Lucy Fleming (also an actress) are now his literary heirs.
- Modelled the character of James Bond after Merlin Minshall, a man who worked for Mr. Fleming during WWII, as a spy.
- He got the name "James Bond" from a real-life ornithologist from Philadelphia. Fleming had a copy of Bond's book, "The Birds of the West Indies", and took a liking to that name.
- Raymond Chandler was a fan of the James Bond novels and urged Fleming to continue writing them in the mid 1950s.
- His nephew, Nichol Fleming, wrote an adventure story in the Bond style titled "Counter Paradise" in 1968.
- Distantly related by marriage to author Leslie Charteris.
- He initially objected to the casting of Sean Connery as James Bond in Dr. No (1962) because he felt that Connery was too "unrefined". He later changed his mind after seeing Connery's performance in the finished film.
- Is portrayed by Jason Connery in The Secret Life of Ian Fleming (1990) (TV). Jason is the son of Sean Connery, who became famous for playing James Bond in the 1960s.
- He suffered a coronary thrombosis in 1961, which he admitted was a result of smoking seventy cigarettes and drinking a bottle of gin a day.
- Fleming's health had never been strong, and it was not helped by his lifestyle. At 38, complaining of chest pains, he had informed a startled doctor that he consumed 70 cigarettes and a bottle of gin a day. In 1961 he had a massive heart attack, which was followed by a series of increasingly debilitating illnesses, including a severe chest infection and pleurisy. Finally, on 11 August 1964 - the night before his son's 12th birthday - he collapsed and died.
- Film stars who were an influence on his vision of James Bond included David Niven, Rex Harrison and Cary Grant.
- He was a bird-watcher and he named "James Bond" after an ornithologist of the same name whose book he had read. He borrowed the name because it was the "dullest" name he could think of. The book title "Goldeneye" is also a birding reference, as goldeneyes are a type of duck.
- As a member of British Intelligence during WWII, he worked with the American OSS (Office of Strategic Services), the predecessor to the CIA. He contributed his experience and expertise to the OSS and later helped the Americans set up the CIA.
