Among the Bond villains Auric Goldfinger is one of the most famous (second only to Ernst Stavro Blofeld).

In the movie of the same name Goldfinger was played by German actor Gert Fröbe, who spoke so little English that he had to be dubbed by British actor Michael Collins. The famous "No, Mr. Bond, I expect you to die!" was therefore not said by Fröbe.

Fröbe, however, got his chance to voice a bond villain: for the German dub of "Goldfinger" Fröbe dubbed himself.

American L. A. Vaught published a (pseudo)scientific book in 1902 that no fewer than 42 human characteristics were reflected in people's heads, noses, ears and chins. So you could use the shape of the head to see what personality a given person had. The book is equipped with caricatures that depict which head shape to trust and which to avoid.
