    How did an architect who designed towers in London come to have a well-known Bond villain named after him?

    Question #56975. Asked by gmackematix. (Apr 30 05 9:27 AM)

    		Modernist architect Erno Goldfinger, who designed the Balfron and Trellick Towers, was married to a woman whose cousin played golf with Ian Fleming.
    Apparently it is not true that Fleming simply hated Goldfinger's designs.

    		Yay, Frankie. But I didn't know Blofeld was another acquaintance of Fleming's. Who was he?

    		Ian Fleming attended school with the father of cricket commentator Henry Blofeld.
