Bond star Lois Maxwell dies at 80

<snip>
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.

A spokesperson for Fremantle Hospital, Western Australia, said she died there on Saturday evening.


I think it was a great disappointment to her that she had not been promoted to play M - she would have been a wonderful M. --
Sir Roger Moore
