Sir Roger Moore dies aged 89
Stuff reports:
Actor Roger Moore, who won international fame playing British secret agent James Bond, died of cancer on Tuesday (Wednesday NZ Time) aged 89, his family said.
His 12 years as Bond, the British agent with a voracious appetite for danger and sex, made Moore a millionaire and a heartthrob the world over.
“It is with a heavy heart that we must announce our loving father, Sir Roger Moore, has passed away today in Switzerland after a short but brave battle with cancer,” his three children announced in a statement on the Twitter account.
