James Bond, the fictional secret agent created by author Ian Fleming, first appeared in print in 1953 with the publication of Fleming's novel "Casino Royale." The character's popularity soon led to a series of novels and short stories, which caught the attention of film producers. In 1962, the first James Bond film, "Dr. No," was released, starring Sean Connery as the titular character. The film's success spawned a franchise that has continued to thrive to this day.
