Sir Roger Moore Dies Aged 89
Best known for being the third actor to play British secret agent James Bond across seven feature films between 1973 and 1985, Sir Roger Moore is a household name to the majority of people in the United Kingdom and beyond. Today (May 23) however, his three children have announced that their father has died following a short battle with cancer.
They also noted that, following their father's wishes, there would be a private funeral held in Monaco.
Following his work on the Bond movies, Moore took a break from the screen for five years, but returned in 1990 to appear in a selection of films as well as Michael Feeney Callan's television series 'My Riviera'. More recently, in 2009, the actor appeared in a Post Office advertisement and played the role of a secret agent in late comedienne Victoria Wood's BBC One Christmas Special.
Sir Roger Moore leaves behind his wife Kirstina Tholstrup, as well as his three adult children.
