註釋
“Like his James Bond movies . . . Moore’s autobiography . . . [has] a lead character who doesn’t take himself too seriously . . . full of humor.” —
New York Post
One of the most recognizable big-screen stars of the twentieth century, Sir Roger Moore played the role of James Bond longer than any other actor. Beginning with the classic
Live and Let Die
, running through
Moonraker
and
A View to a Kill
, Moore brought his finely honed wit and wry charm to one of Hollywood’s most beloved and long-lasting characters. Still, James Bond was only one in a lifetime of roles stretching back to Hollywood’s studio era, and encompassing stardom in theater and television on both sides of the Atlantic. From
The Saint
to
Maverick
, Warner Brothers to MGM, Hollywood to London to locations the world over, Roger Moore’s story is one of the last of the classic Hollywood lives as yet untold.
Until now. From the dying days of the studio system and the birth of television, to the quips of Noël Coward and David Niven, to the bedroom scenes and outtakes from the Bond movies, Moore has seen and heard it all. Nothing is left out—especially the naughty bits. The “special effects” by which James Bond unzipped a dress with a magnet; the spectacular risks in
The Spy Who Loved Me’s
opening scene—the stories in
My Word is My Bond
are priceless.
Moore hobnobbed with the glamorous and powerful, counting Elizabeth Taylor, Jane Seymour, and Cary Grant among his contemporaries and friends. As much as it is Moore’s own exceptional story,
My Word is My Bond
is a treasure trove of Hollywood history.
“Charming.” —
