Slowly but surely, the faces of the silver screen,
that we all grew up with, slip away,
but their legacy will always live on!
Thanks DukePilgram for the inforamtion about Lois Maxwell. May she rest in peace. And yes they are slowly disappearing from the silver screen. It is never going to be the same again.

R.I.P. Lois Maxwell -
I always thought that she was underutilized in the Bond pictures.

One piece of trivia that few know is that she started out as a contract player at 20th Century Fox with a group of fresh faced girls and there was a famous photo of this group of girls taken for the fan magazines of the time.
If one looks at the picture, only two of the girls continued with a notable film career: one is a young Lois and sitting cross-legged on the floor just below her, a very young Marilyn Monroe.
This picture is included in many of the books and documentaries on Marilyn--I don't think anyone ever asked her about it but it is quite true.
Roger Moore said that he was sorry the Bond producers didn't let her continue in the series as 'M' as she would have been pretty good, and I have to agree with him.
Hi
Another one gone RIP

In my mid-teens in 1962, I certainly got my imagination aroused by Miss Moneypenny's interaction with James Bond 
.
I definitely remember her! At the time, we thought these movies were really great. When I go back and watch them today, they're not quite as good as I remember, although they are still fun to watch. All my buddies at the time wished they had a hat with a razor-edged brim 
.
May Lois Maxwell RIP.

The Sean Connery Bond movies are still far better than the Roger Moore films.
RIP to a fine lady. she may have never got bond, but she got our respect.
Rest-in-Peace Mrs. Moneypenny. You will be sorely missed. Also, you werre always my favorite lady in all of the Bond films you were in ;-)) Might I admit but, I had a crush on you when I was growing up. ;-D
I think Lois should have finished before "A View to a Kill". It was strange hearing her talk about getting older in "Octopussy" when she was the same age as Moore. He had a facelift before his last film, but still looked every day of his 57 years.
