Roger Moore passes away age 89

The best Bond of all. Thank you for your service 007, you may now dismiss. R.I.P Sir Roger, we will not see your like again.

No one rocked the leisure suit. Ever.

Oh NO!



Still... eighty nine is not a bad innings, but what a shame anyway! One of the things I liked about him best, was that for all his fame and fortune, he never once took himself at all seriously. Did any of you see him in Cannonball Run, with Jackie Chan, Burt Reynolds and... oh hell, everyone who was still famous at the time? My GOD he knew how to laugh at himself!

A classy gentleman, and a class act to boot. He will be sorely missed.

Still to this day, For Your Eyes Only, is one of my all time favorites.

RIP 007

He was a funny guy and yeah I too remember his ability to poke fun at himself , this interview shows his sparkling personality well.


His tip on acting , "say the words and don't bump into the furniture".

When I was a little girl in NYC I used to pretend I was on missions with Simon Templer. I went up on roofs and down into unknown cellars but I was brave because dreamy Roger Moore aka Simon was with me.
We had a lot of missions on my churches grounds because it was very large and had buildings that looked like European buildings and lots of winding walkways that became roads for me and my motorcycle.

My dad was a big big James Bond fan. Pretty sure he watched for the beautiful woman. When he came to the movies with us it was almost always a James Bond film.
I loved the cool inventions, the cars and little helicopters I wished I had. I didn't care about weapons but being a diva I was fascinated when one evil woman had poison lipstick....

Nice memories Silly. That was lovely to read.

Sounds intriguing. I will look forward to it.

Never a Bond fan. But he was a good sport.

That is stellar advice for both stage and screen!

What a character! He was very much into animal rights as well, for all that he had a tendency to come across in film as one of those upper crust twits who like crushing fox skulls with their boots. Actually a sweet hearted, kindly chap.

Really sad news. He was a legend

The movie "Wild Geese" is an under appreciated gem.

Roger Moore. Richard Harris. Richard Burton. A bunch of "sirs" there...

I think maybe I'll watch that one again today.

Sleep well mr Moore. May your eyebrows ever move independently.

Surprised no one has mentioned that he spent many, many years of his life as a champion of UNICEF, a real star.

Or his earlier career as a model for knitting patterns, before his acting

career took off.

RIP Roger Moore.

Ah... thats a great shame, but a bloody good innings.

That man lived on hell of a life, and remained throughout, a smooth talking, elegant, refined and yet incredibly down to earth and funny man. His ability to take himself not at all seriously, made him a cut above some of his contemporaries. A classy, wonderful gent has left the world, and it is unlikely that there will ever be another quite like him.

How did you reply to this again near a year later?

You sir, are a goose.

Also yes, still sad

a reply to: auroraaus

My brain, as do all brains at some stage, had itself a little parp, an inexplicable release of mind gas, a fart.

That is how this came to pass.

a reply to: TrueBrit

You say that like it's a bad thing.

Well I had saved this in my subscribed threads, and had forgotten to post....
so here it is as a anniversary......
Sorely missed still Mr Moore, a gentleman to the end.

My dad used to get mistaken for you....
