Take it with a grain of salt, but there's a story on Jezebel saying multiple sources are saying Jeff Besos wants his wife Lauren Sanchez as the next Bond girl.

I suspect the worst case scenario here is a small Madonna/Verity style cameo appearance. More likely it might be a blink and you miss it background appearance like Richard Branson in Casino Royale.
No matter how much sway Bezos holds there's no way a 55 year old woman with no acting ability gets any kind of substantive part in a Bond movie.
I really liked Savalas and strongly suspect his Blofeld was at least a partial inspiration for Clancy Brown's Lex in Superman: TAS
Unless it's M or Moneypenny...
The Savalas Blofeld was peak Blofeld. Still is.
This is still the most menacing as well as, well, human that Blofeld's ever been.
Savalas Blofeld was a villain with style. He could deliver a threat in a way that made you feel like a VIP and uninsurable at the same time. He didn't hide under a mountain or use an abandoned town on an island, he built a ski resort on top of a mountain in the Alps. With a cable tram. And uniformed guards in Olympic uniforms. He didn't just commandeer a bobsleigh.. he knew how to drive it. the R in SPECTER stood for revenge. He stuck to the mission statement and killed Tracy Bond.
Some villains deserve the speech "if only he'd used his powers for good." Nope.. Savalas' Blofeld was exactly where he was supposed to be: living it up on the stop of the world, baby.

#1. The way Connery's "My name is Bond, James Bond" is unnaturally sped up in the actual film bothers me, and a lot of others.
#2. "We're back....to what great movies are all about!!" Yes, we know OHMSS was jarring to a lot of Bond fans and audiences and it wasn't formulaic Connery material, but DAF is hardly what I'd call an example of a "great" movie.

DAF didn't age well for a lot of reasons. For me its the worst Connery Bond film, including NSNA (and I actually like NSNA).
Agreed on both counts.
The Mach 1 was the high point for me
Connery was pretty much checked out by Thunderball.
DAF is, "I'm only in it for the money."

I have a good bit of fondness for Diamonds Are Forever, personally. It was the first Bond movie I saw in the theater; my dad took me, though I was arguably too young for some of the content. I also had the soundtrack album, and played it incessantly. I still think it’s one of Barry’s very best scores, and the great title song one of the series’ best.
$1.25 million for a Scottish educational trust, but at least to his credit he looked like he was having a lot more fun than he did on YOLT. That film just reeks of Sean being over and done with it all.
