    Sad news to learn Roger Moore has passed away. But am pleased he had a long and very full life. I first knew of him as The Saint. Later of course there was Bond. But my own favorite performance of his was as the crusty cat-lover and woman-hater in Ffolks where he got to stretch his acting chops a bit.
    Everything I have read about him is that he was also a fine man offscreen. RIP

    1. Hey John….wow….he is the first Bond to pass away…not counting Niven in the original Casino Royale. My mom loved him in Fflokes too. Sad sad day.

        1. Hey John…..Niven’s Bond is almost always forgotten…Nelson’s Bond seems to be only known by Bond fans. But yes Mr. Nelson was the first to play Bond. 🙂

  4. RIP Roger Moore.

    Dead from cancer, aged 89. Sad news I grew up with those Bond movies. Moore was a true gentleman and very witty too. I’ve read some of his books.

    I think I’ll watch The Spy Who Loved Me this week as a tribute.
