Diane Jurgens has left The Walt Disney Company after three years in the role of chief information officer, TheWrap has learned. This departure makes her the second C-level executive to vacate the studio in just under three months. Christine McCarthy, previously the chief financial officer, left in June to take a medical absence.
According to the Wall Street Journal, which first reported the news, Jurgens told colleagues in a farewell email in late August that she was leaving Disney “to pursue new adventures.”
Jurgens joined Disney in October 2020 under then-ceo Bob Chapek. She was responsible for the company’s enterprise technology organization on a global scale. Iger returned as CEO in November of last year, essentially ousting his own hand-picked successor. Kareem Daniel, a top Chapek-era executive, left the very next day. Daniel’s division, Disney Media and Entertainment Distribution, has since been dismantled with more oversight and authority being given back to creative executives.

For the many actors who have taken their turn portraying British superspy James Bond in his numerous films, the job can sometimes be nearly as dangerous as Bond's on-screen escapades. Whether it be Roger Moore being injured doing a boat crash stunt or Daniel Craig hurting himself doing parkour, the role often requires some fairly risky stunts.
Nobody knows this better than Moore, who played Bond in seven films from 1973 to 1985. Taking up the mantle after Sean Connery finished up with the role meant expectations were high. Moore had to live up to Connery not only as a charismatic presence, but as an actor to work with, so this meant he would be doing a lot of his own stunts. Moore knew he'd be compared to Connery in many aspects, though when asked in an Entertainment Weekly interview if he got competitive with his predecessor, he said, "No more than...
