Actress Lois Maxwell, who starred as Miss Moneypenny in a string of James Bond movies, has died aged 80.

Maxwell starred alongside Sir Sean Connery in Bond's first movie outing, Dr No, in 1962.

She played the role until 1985's A View To A Kill with Sir Roger Moore, who told the BBC she had been a "great asset" to the early Bond movies.
...
She appeared in more movies than any of the actors who played the lead role in the spy series, including Sir Sean Connery and Sir Roger Moore.

Awww. I always liked her.

1. She was the best Moneypenny

I have a feeling someone else played the part in the later films.

2. Yes- the aptly named Samantha Bond

But her repartee with Bond was never quite as good.

She would have made a great M.

6. She was one of my favorites -- thanks for posting to let us know.

Her guest-star work in so many of the 50's and 60's Brit spy shows like Danger Man and The Saint was always excellent, too.

Darn.
