The Most Charming James Bond, Roger Moore, Dies At 89

On Tuesday, Roger Moore, 89, who followed Sean Connery as the next James Bond and played the part in seven films, died from cancer in Switzerland.

Moore was 45 when he first essayed Bond in 1973’s Live and Let Die, and 57 when he finished his run with the role in A View to a Kill. But before his life as Bond, Moore had been highly successful on television, starring as Simon Templar, the title character of The Saint from 1962-69.
