Goodbye, Miss Moneypenny you will be missed.

[Defy]

Lois Maxwell, who starred as Miss Moneypenny in the bond films has died at the age of 80.

Maxwell starred alongside Sir Sean Connery in Bond's first movie outing, Dr No, in 1962. She played the role until 1985's A View To A Kill with Sir Roger Moore, who told the BBC she had been a "great asset" to the early Bond movies.

My favourite Moneypenny...

I was at a Bond convention in 1990 and she sat behind me for the showing of For Your Eyes Only and she was chuckling away and cracking jokes with a very elderly Geoffrey Keene (Minister of Defence) before the film started and singing its praises when it ended.

Lovely lady

Yes she will be missed, like M and Q she played small cameo parts in the main movies but a vital parts all the same.

This is sad news.

She WAS Moneypenny. The others don't even come close.

Totally agree. Caroline Bliss was forgettable and Samantha Bond just wasn't sassy or sexy enough

RIP, Moneypenny.

There was only one and will only ever be one proper Moneypenny.

R.I.P. Lois.

 

[lost and alone]

a very sad loss and I hope the franchise, will do either a music 'clip' video like they did for 'Q' on The wolrd is not enough or a dedication, which I believe they did to Bernard Lee at the end of Octopussy.
Lois was and still is the best MoneyPenny, she did not need a pair of virtu-specks to get close to 007.

 

[what up]

RIP Lois. You gave me a hell of a lot of viewing pleasure over the years.
