Actor Peter Sellers famously left his three children just £750 each when he died in 1980, awarding his considerable fortune instead to his third wife, Lynne Frederick.

Following Frederick’s death in 1994, the estate has since been passed on to her daughter Carrie, 27.

According to Joe McGrath, who directed Sellers in the 1967 James Bond spoof Casino Royale, the money is still rolling in.

He tells me: ‘Peter negotiated an astonishing three per cent of the film, which I recently discovered has now grossed £120million. Amazingly, it’s still earning money.’

Chief of Staff, 007's gone round the bend. Says someone's been trying to feed him a poisoned banana. Fellow's lost his nerve. Been in the hospital too long. Better call him home.
