We bid goodbye today to one of the most prominent actors of the last
half of last century. Roger Moore passed away yesterday in Switzerland after a
brief battle with cancer. He was 89. Born on October 14, 1927 he is probably
best known for his 7 magnificent James Bond movies, issued between 1973 and
1985, playing the British secret agent, following the footsteps of his predecessor
Sean Connery. He also played Simon Templar in the television series ‘The Saint’ between 1962 and 1969.

| Roger Moore in his role as Ivanhoe |
But my
childhood recollection of him goes back even further as he played the role of
Ivanhoe between 1958 and 1959, a show which was one of my favorites on
black-and-white TV. He also played TV roles in ‘The Alaskans,’ ‘The Maverick,’
and ‘The Persuaders,’ before starting his classic role as 007. Sir Roger Moore
was involved with UNICEF, helping children all around the world. He died on May
23, 2017.
