Dashing, handsome and every
inch the archetypal English gentleman, Roger Moore has
starred in some of the most unforgettable films and celebrated
television series of the last half century. Who could forget
the smooth-talking adventurer Simon Templar in The Saint?
Or that rakish playboy
Lord Brett Sinclair from The Persuaders? Roger Moore reigns
supreme as the most debonair 007 and reprised the role
of James Bond over seven blockbusting films, which are
shown time after time all over the world. His whole persona
exudes style, good living and sophistication; his millions
of fans idolize him; but he has never written his autobiography
- until now.
For the first time he will share his
recollections of playing some of the world's most famous
roles - and playing with some of the world's most legendary
stars. He talks of his family life, with memories of
his London childhood and his miserable evacuation at
the onset of the Second World War, as well as the happy
and turbulent times of later years. He tells of his marriages
and children and how he found love and contentment with
his beautiful wife, Kristina.
He reminisces about his early days as
a jobbing actor, and his first break, when he joined
MGM studios towards the very end of the contract system,
and played alongside screen legends such as Elizabeth
Taylor, Van Johnson, Lana Turner, Debbie Reynolds, Glenn
Ford, David Niven and many others.
Many films and television roles followed,
before the role of James Bond was offered to him, and
Roger Moore talks frankly about the films themselves
and the producers, directors and the casts with whom
he worked.

"Unlike many reality TV stars who have thrilled us
with autobiographies shortly after their first shave, Roger
Moore - a man who can still snap a woman's knicker elastic
with the flick of an eyebrow - has waited until his eighties
to enlighten us on his life." - The Times |
