I've never been able to choose a favorite Bond, but I can say that Sir Roger Moore was my first... For Your Eyes Only was my first James Bond experience - Which I watched with my dad at home... And a couple years later, A View To A Kill became the first Bond movie that I saw in the theater... He made an excellent contribution to the franchise and the entertainment world as a whole... Wonderful memories.

Wonderful memories. Octopussy was my first ever Bond film seen in a theater and then A View to A Kill was next of course and I was excited for that one back then... |

Watched Moore as "The Saint" Simon Templar as a kid, loved that show (AND the theme music, posted below)!
Roger was my fave Bond, by far!
RIP, Bond. James Bond. I will forever remember your Bond as the first, best Bond I saw on the big screen!

  Dina Merrill, the rebellious heiress who defied her super-rich parents to become a movie star, often portraying stylish wives or “the other woman,” has died at age 93. Merrill, raised in part on the Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida now owned by President Donald Trump, died Monday, according to a family spokeswoman. The cause of death and other details were not immediately available Tuesday. Starting in the 1950s, Merrill appeared in more than 100 films and television programs, her break coming after Katharine Hepburn recommended her for the 1957 Tracy-Hepburn comedy “The Desk Set.” Merrill, who had the poised, aristocratic beauty of fellow blonde Grace Kelly, co-starred with Cary Grant and Tony Curtis in “Operation Petticoat,” Robert Mitchum and Deborah Kerr in “The Sundowners” and Oscar winner Elizabeth Taylor in “Butterfield 8.” More recently, she was part of Robert Altman’s ensemble cast for the Hollywood satire “The Player” and in television programs such as “Murder, She Wrote” and “The Nanny.” But becoming an actress was not considered proper for someone of Merrill’s privileged status. Her mother was Marjorie Merriweather Post, heiress to the Post cereal fortune and one of the nation’s richest women. Her father was E.F. Hutton, founder of the stockbroker firm that bore his name. Heiress Barbara Hutton was a cousin. “Mother was politically and diplomatically and every which way well connected,” Merrill remarked in 2000, “but she didn’t know anyone in show business. Of course my parents’ eyebrows shot up when I said I wanted to be an actress. And I guess they said, really between themselves, ‘Let the dear girl try and fall on her face.’” Merrill left George Washington University after a year to enroll at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York. During the summer she worked at a regional theater where she painted scenery, sewed costumes and played occasional small roles. She made her Broadway debut in 1945 with “The Mermaids Singing” and followed with “George Washington Slept Here” and off-Broadway plays. She quit acting in 1946, partly because of her mother’s pressure. “My mother brainwashed me,” she said. “I turned down my career to marry my Marine.” |
