Career
Barbara and her half-brother Michael G. Wilson handed over Eon Productions, the production company that produced the James Bond series of films, to her father, Cubby Broccoli, in 1995; the firm continues to be run by 2022.
In the 2022 New Year Honours for services to film, drama, philanthropy, and skills, she was named Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE).
In 2013, She and Wilson were given the David O. Selznick Achievement Award in Theatrical Motion Pictures.
She was nominated as a member of the jury for the 64th Berlin International Film Festival in 2014.
After the success of the National Youth Theatre's 60th Anniversary Diamond Gala at Shaftesbury Theatre in 2016, Broccoli became President of the National Youth Theatre.
Broccoli began working in Bond's publicity department at the age of 17. She served as an assistant director on Octopussy (1983). She rose to become an associate producer of the film The Living Daylights (1987) within a few years.
Pierce Brosnan and later Daniel Craig played her most prominent part in the Bond films as a producer.
Broccoli coproduced the stage musical version of Chitty Bang Bang, based on Dick Van Dyke and Sally Ann Howes' appearances in 1996, following her father's death in 1996. Broccoli recalled the original songwriters from the film to write the new material for the stage version. For the show, which premiered on April 16, 2002, the Sherman Brothers wrote five new songs. The performance at the London Palladium was the longest-running and most financially lucrative show to have ever appeared there.
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang was later promoted to Broadway but it was considered a disappointment by poor reviews and playing only 319 shows, with the loss of a significant portion of the initial $15 million investment. With a new version of the show touring the US in 2008, the musical has toured extensively in the United Kingdom and Asia, with a new version of the show touring the country in 2008.
Broccoli co-produced Chariots of Fire, the London stage version of the 1981 film of the same name, in 2012 during London's summer Olympics. Broccoli's involvement with Chariots of Fire goes back to 1980, when she introduced her friend Dodi Fayed to the film; he later co-financed the film and became the film's executive producer. She co-produced the play with Hugh Hudson, who produced the 1981 Oscar-winning film.
