Maybe it's Madge.
Then she ages quicker then we thought... *cringe*
Maybe it's Mindy.
It be nice if those who have read it could confirm.
Bernard Lee's M was referred to as Miles in TSWLM and I think its in the book of TMWTGG.
Robert Brown's M is often assumed to be a promoted General Hargreaves.
We're introduced to Gareth Mallory before he's even promoted to M (I think we all clocked that he'd be the new M even before the film came out).
Just kinda interesting.
Judi Dench plays two Ms. In the Brosnan films (and Raymond Benson novels) her name is Barbara Mawdley. That's revealed in the Goldeneye screenplay and used by Benson in his novels and novelisations. Then in the Craig era she plays a new M named Oliva Mansfield. I like this, it really establishes that even though it's the same actress, it's two different timelines
Is this a hypothesis or did you read this somewhere?
Fair point but I don't recall her name being mentioned in any of her movies so therefore it will never be known. We can speculate for fun but I'd rather discuss what we do know.
It would be rather embarrassing that the writers of SF don't remember their own dialogue from CR...or perhaps it was different writers for the different scenes?
It's damn important to me.
It's Em. Move on..........
That's the M from Brosnan's era, not Craig's era.
Parallel universe involving the same character, that's how I always figured it. anyway to some extent you're right it doesn't matter, but not that she's gone I'd like to wonder what her real name is. We know that Bernard Lee's M's name was Miles Messervy, and that's a nice touch to have now that he's gone as well. I'd like to think that Judy's M's name was: Margaret Masservy. She looks like a Maggie to me, and going along with the whole new Bond re-boot era idea I think it's a nice thought to imagine that she and Lee were symbolically the same person. I say symbolic because obviously Fiennes' Gareth Mallory is intended to be a physical re-incarnation of Lee's character.
Only by Kincade. He only calls her "Emma" because he hears Bond call her M, but he takes his pronunciation of her name as "Em", short for "Emma", hence why he calls her that. Quite a cute little mix up they put in there.
