[book] My Word is My Bond: A Memoir (Hardcover)
Editorial Reviews
Product Description
One of the most recognizable big-screen stars of the past
half-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 extreme 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 Noel 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; and Moore's preparation for facing down villains
(he would imagine they all have halitosis): the stories in My Word
is My Bond are priceless.
Throughout his career, Moore hobnobbed with the glamorous and
powerful, counting Elizabeth Taylor, Jane Seymour, and Cary Grant
among his contemporaries and friends. Included are stories of a
foul-mouthed Milton Berle, a surly Richard Burton, and a
kindhearted Richard Kiel, infamous as Bond enemy Jaws.
As much as it is Moore's own exceptional story, My Word is My Bond
is a treasure trove of Hollywood history.
