The fully enclosed sink basin, surrounded by the natural stone, has a much sleeker appearance than traditional drop-in sinks. Most undermount sinks are surrounded by a layer of protective caulking to prevent water from seeping between the sink and the counter.
When Sean Connery had been cast in November 1961, David Niven had been Fleming's choice for the role as the actor reflected his image of the character. In 1965 producer Charles Feldman signed Niven to play Sir James Bond for Casino Royale, a film not made by Eon Productions.
Live and Let Die ushers in Roger Moore as the new James Bond. Prior to this movie, Bond had been played most often by Sean Connery, with the one exception being George Lazenby's short-lived stint in 1969 (On Her Majesty's Secret Service). Moore is very different to Connery and Lazenby.
