Actress Barbara Bach was born 75 years ago today, on 27-August-1947. I was impressed when I saw her in The Spy Who Loved Me with Roger Moore. She married Ringo Starr.

Sean Connery, RIP -- October 31, 2020

I looked at my tablet this morning and saw a headline that said Sean Connery had died. To people of my generation, he was James Bond, but he did a lot more in his career. He worked with Alfred Hitchcock, John Huston and Brian De Palma. I think The Man Who Would Be King is my favorite. 

He was a proud Scotsman.

Sir Roger Moore, RIP -- May 24, 2017

I was sad to learn of the death of Sir Roger Moore.  I enjoyed almost everything I saw him in.  I was very happy to read that he didn't like guns.

I didn't see The Saint when it was on its first run.  The first movie I saw him in was Live and Let Die at the Alexandria.  This was the first James Bond movie I saw in a theater.  I had seen Goldfinger on television, but I wasn't prejudiced in favor of Sean Connery.  It was interesting to see a different person play the part. 

I think the only other Moore/Bond movies I saw in the theater were The Spy Who Loved Me and Moonraker.

 In 1976, Roger Moore played Sherlock Holmes in a television movie, Sherlock Holmes in New York.  Patrick Macnee played Doctor Watson.  I made sure to watch it. 

He did a lot of work for UNICEF and was knighted for it.  Well deserved.
