Biography
Born in 1929, Peter Lamont followed in his family footsteps and entered the design and decoration business. He worked on the set of films his brother and father were involved with and learned the trade hands-on. At the age of 35 he earned the position of draughtsman on James Bond's third outing, "Goldfinger".

He rose quickly through the ranks on various Bond films in the 1960s and '70s. When John Glen took up the directors chair in 1981 to helm "For Your Eyes Only", he enlisted Lamont to be his Production Designer. Since then he has contributed to nine 007 adventures in this role. His bother Michael, and son Neil, have worked closely with Peter to create some lavish and memorable sets and stages for the 007 films. Beyond Bond, Lamont worked on a variety of high-profile productions, most notably "Titanic" (1997) for which he won an Oscar, LAFCA and Satellite award. After 2006's "Casino Royale", Lamont retired from the Bond family, handing his duties to Dennis Gasser for "Quantum of Solace"
