Roger Moore – författare

A SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING AUTOBIOGRAPHYThe quintessential suave hero, Roger Moore has had an extraordinary career that has spanned seven decades, from early television to the golden age of Hollywood and on to international superstardom. Dashing, handsome and every inch the archetypal English gentleman, he is unforgettable as The Saint, as Lord Brett Sinclair in The Persuaders! and, of course, as James Bond, making seven blockbusting films as arguably the most debonair of the 007s. For the first time, Roger shares his recollections of playing some of the world's most famous roles alongside a host of legendary stars. With myriad stories from his personal life - from his childhood in London and experiences during the Second World War, to the happy and turbulent times in his later life. Along with anecdotes about his encounters with the stars and his wonderful memories from the heyday of Hollywood, My Word is My Bond is as frank, funny and disarmingly charming as the legend himself.

In a career that spanned over seven decades, Roger Moore was at the very heart of the show-business scene. We all knew him as an actor who starred in films that made him famous the world over, but he was also a tremendous prankster, joker and raconteur - in fact, he was well known as one of the nicest guys in the business, and someone who was always up for some fun.In this fabulous collection of true stories from his stellar career, Roger lifts the lid on the movie business, from Hollywood to Pinewood. It features outrageous tales from his own life and career as well as those told to him by a host of stars and filmmakers, including Tony Curtis, Sean Connery, Michael Caine, David Niven, Frank Sinatra, Gregory Peck, John Mills, Peter Sellers, Michael Winner, Cubby Broccoli and many more.Wonderfully entertaining, laugh-out-loud funny and told with his characteristic wit and good humour, Last Man Standing is vintage Moore at his very best.

"Like his James Bond movies . . . Moore''s autobiography . . . [has] a lead character who doesn''t take himself too seriously . . . full of humor." —New York PostOne of the most recognizable big-screen stars of the twentieth century, Sir Roger Moore played the role of James Bond longer than any other actor. Beginning with the classic Live and Let Die, running through Moonraker and A View to a Kill, Moore brought his finely honed wit and wry charm to one of Hollywood''s most beloved and long-lasting characters. Still, James Bond was only one in a lifetime of roles stretching back to Hollywood''s studio era, and encompassing stardom in theater and television on both sides of the Atlantic. From The Saint to Maverick, Warner Brothers to MGM, Hollywood to London to locations the world over, Roger Moore''s story is one of the last of the classic Hollywood lives as yet untold.Until now. From the dying days of the studio system and the birth of television, to the quips of Noël Coward and David Niven, to the bedroom scenes and outtakes from the Bond movies, Moore has seen and heard it all. Nothing is left out—especially the naughty bits. The "special effects" by which James Bond unzipped a dress with a magnet; the spectacular risks in The Spy Who Loved Me''s opening scene—the stories in My Word is My Bond are priceless.Moore hobnobbed with the glamorous and powerful, counting Elizabeth Taylor, Jane Seymour, and Cary Grant among his contemporaries and friends. As much as it is Moore''s own exceptional story, My Word is My Bond is a treasure trove of Hollywood history."Charming." —Kirkus Reviews

In this warm and engaging book, the late, great Sir Roger Moore reflects on life and ageing.Delivered, along with his own hand-drawn sketches, to his publisher shortly before he passed away, in À Bientôt, Roger looks back on his life – and gives it his trademark sideways glance, too. Nostalgic, funny, charming and, most importantly, very human, his reflections on age and ageing encompass all aspects of this universal experience, from reminiscences on childhood and ‘what might have been’; keeping abreast of the ever-changing times; senior moments, memory and getting to grips with technology; the joys – and frustrations – of travel; work and play. Along with these he tells of the intense happiness – and some equally intense sadnesses – of family life.Featuring his own sketches throughout, this book sees Roger at his most open and forthright. The true stories and situations he shares in this warm and intimate book reveal a ‘Bond Unbound’, the human being inside the action-adventure character that made him so famous the world over. Always upbeat and – as ever – endearingly self-effacing and unpretentious, in À bientôt he shares the joys he experienced every day along with the tiny triumphs that life brings to us all at the most unexpected times.

James Bond, der 007-Agent mit der Lizenz zum Töten, zieht seit über 50 Jahren die Zuschauer in seinen Bann. Exotische Schauplätze, wunderschöne Frauen, eine actiongeladene Handlung und der typisch britische Humor haben aus Ian Flemings Kunstfigur ein Pop-Phänomen gemacht. Für die ungebrochene Begeisterung sind vor allem zwei Darsteller aus der Frühphase verantwortlich - Sean Connery und Roger Moore.Moore musste sich 1972 der schwierigen Aufgabe stellen, die Rolle des Elite-Geheimagenten von seinem Vorgänger Connery zu übernehmen. Von nun an sprach er die Worte: "Mein Name ist Bond - James Bond." Live And Let Die (dt. Titel: Leben und sterben lassen) wurde sein erster Film und ist weltweit der dritterfolgreichste Bond aller Zeiten. Um den neuen Darsteller dem Publikum schon vor der Premiere vorzustellen, verpflichtete man den sprachgewandten Roger Moore zum Führen eines Tagebuchs.Hier berichtet er von den 84 Drehtagen - humorvoll, intelligent und politisch nicht immer korrekt. Es waren die Zeiten, in denen ungehemmt geraucht, getrunken und den Frauen hinterhergepfiffen wurde. Moore nimmt den Leser mit in die gefährlichen Sümpfe Louisianas, an wunderschöne Drehorte auf Jamaika, nach New York und in die Londoner Pinewood-Studios. Er dokumentiert nicht nur die Filmaufnahmen, sondern erzählt auch von seinen Kollegen, dem Filmteam und natürlich dem attraktiven Bond-Girl Jane Seymour in der Rolle der Wahrsagerin Solitaire. Doch das Leben als 007 verlief nicht immer reibungslos. Pleiten, Pech & Pannen bestimmten den Dreh, und Knochenbrüche, Verstauchungen oder ein abgebrochener Zahn gehörten zum Alltag des angehenden Superstars.007 - Live And Let Die - Die Filmtagebücher ist ein faszinierendes Zeitdokument aus einer Ära, in der ein Kinobesuch noch ein spannendes Ereignis war. Lebendig erzählt, voller Anekdoten und mit einer Prise britischen Humors präsentiert Roger Moore Schnappschüsse, Momentaufnahmen und selbstironische Betrachtungen.
