“Diana Rigg helped me realise I wasn’t straight.”
An award-nominated voice actor and filmmaker, Kathryn Vinclaire is also a massive Bond fan who identifies as bisexual. Like many of us - even gay-identifying men like me - she has a “massive crush” on Diana Rigg in On Her Majesty’s Secret Service. We discuss her Tracy Bond awakening moment and why the world of Bond is such an open space for queer people like us.
Kathryn and I had been talking online for a while and finally met up for a screening of Licence To Kill in London.
In this video and podcast, we talk about how watching On Her Majesty’s Secret Service helped her realise who she was, why we think Bond appeals to queer people like us and why Bond works so well for bisexual viewers specifically. We also discuss her exciting new projects, including a fascinating documentary about female aviators.

Prior to the Licence To Kill screening, Ajay Chowdhury took me, Kathryn, Sam Rogers, Scott Hardy (Spy Hards), Tom Butler (James Bond A-Z) on a tour of Fleming and Bond sights around London.
