Lois Maxwell: 1927-2007

Sad news which came out this morning. Lois Maxwell died on Saturday evening at Fremantle Hospital in Western Australia. She was 80 years old.

For me, as for many others, she was incomparable as Miss Moneypenny in 14 James Bond films from Doctor No in 1962 to A View To A Kill in 1985. But she had a far greater career than playing just one role in a series of films.

IMDB is my usual source for film information, and a quick search for Lois Maxwell tuns up a whole host of roles that I have never seen, but one I do remember. She was the voice of Lt Atlanta Shore in Stingray.

Rest in peace, Miss Moneypenny.
