Members DRW50 Posted May 23, 2017 Members Share Posted May 23, 2017 https://www.theguardian.com/film/2017/may/23/roger-moore-saint-persuader-and-the-suavest-james-bond-dies-aged-89 He was my first Bond and I have a lot of cheesy, fun memories of watching his movies as a kid. His comic timing and suave ways feels a bit closer to present day than it did for the times, I think. He also had a hilarious interview with Dame Edna that I couldn't find in full but enjoyed a great deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted May 23, 2017 Members Share Posted May 23, 2017 He was always a lot of fun, even when the movies were silly cheese. They were generally fun too. I like to watch them now as a ride through Bond's wildest excesses, but some are genuinely good. I'll have to dig up that link with excerpts of his diaries from the set of Live and Let Die. He always did crack me up in interviews, too. On Daniel Craig: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted May 23, 2017 Members Share Posted May 23, 2017 Roger Moore was my "first Bond," if you will. I still remember watching his movies as a child on HBO. He will be missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted May 23, 2017 Members Share Posted May 23, 2017 One of my favorite Bond's. I also loved him in "A Princess for Christmas" he was so good in it. He is a true legend, and will be truly missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaytimeFan Posted May 24, 2017 Members Share Posted May 24, 2017 I adore Roger Moore. I always will. He was the most fun Bond. He might not have been the best Bond, but he loved being Bond the best. He was a star who loved being a star and had fun with his celebrity. RIP to a gentleman.

Members ~bl~ Posted May 24, 2017 Members Share Posted May 24, 2017 Channel 9 out of Secaucus, New Jersey used to show reruns of "The Saint" in the 90s. So that was my first real exposure to Roger Moore, as we didn't go see the James Bond movies. (Yes since then I've seen some of them, but not growing up.) I agree with all of you in regards to his sense of fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaytimeFan Posted May 24, 2017 Members Share Posted May 24, 2017 This is so great. I'd expect nothing less. As the writer says, what a man, what a tremendous man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members I Am A Swede Posted May 24, 2017 Members Share Posted May 24, 2017 What a charming story. Please register in order to view this content I'm really not a great James Bond fan, but Roger Moore was the first one I saw, so for me he will always be "the real" James Bond.

Members GSGfan2017 Posted August 6, 2017 Members Share Posted August 6, 2017 Roger Moore made three movies in South Africa during the apartheid era: Gold (1974), Shout at the Devil (1976), and The Wild Geese (1978). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
