He acted opposite legends like Bette Davis in The Night of the Iguana and Anne Bancroft in Mother Courage on Broadway, and on screen, he appeared in Chinatown, Walking Tall, Hard Times and Bless the Beasts and Children.<\/p>\n<p>In the 1971 Bond film directed by Guy Hamilton, Glover teamed with jazz musician Putter Smith as the sinister duo Mr. Wint and Mr. Kidd\u2014gay assassins who made a lasting impression with their eerie charm and brutal methods. Glover added a signature flair, suggesting a touch of \u201csexual pleasure\u201d during a critical scene, leading to the infamous \u201cWooooo\u201d reaction that fans still recall.<\/p>\n<p>Glover\u2019s journey into acting began unexpectedly when he donned a 100-pound gorilla suit in a stripper\u2019s act, later saying his first acting lesson came from observing a gorilla named Bushman at a zoo. He went on to serve in Korea, earn a degree from Northwestern, and advise Warren Beatty to pursue acting in New York.<\/p>\n<p>In later years, he worked with his son Crispin in It Is Fine! Everything Is Fine and Influence, continuing to act well into his 80s.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bruce Glover, renowned for portraying the eccentric assassin Mr. Wint in the James Bond classic Diamonds Are Forever, has died at 92.
