Re: Roger Moore ("James Bond") Dies of cancer at age 89

The very young Roger Moore was perfect in "The Saint".   The character was supposed to be super-sophisticated, and impossibly well-connected.  Murders and other mayhem just "happened" to come his way for him to solve...

 

The catchy opening theme with the halo appearing above his head is iconic:

@dulwich  OMG - now that is quite a story!  I probably would have melted at the "allow me."  Can you imagine turning to look and seeing.....him!  Love your story, esp. today.

Great fairly recent interview with Moore, including him revealing he was never very confident about women!  (@Dulwich, you definitely should have spoken to him!  Who knows what may have come of that!).

@Pearlee  I wish I had said something.  You know I can still see that arm tanned, blue shirt sleeve rolled up as I followed the arm up to his face and eyes - what a nerd me that is -  but I was very young and he was the first celebrity I had ever seen in the flesh.

 

Later DH was in music business and we met and worked with so many "famous" people but he Roger still remains such a lovely memory and gorgeous "hunk" aaaah keep me going while I am washing the floors!

My sister is 5 years older than I am, so she's Sean Connery all the way.

 

She is also a Beatles fan and cannot fathom why I am a Wings fan.
