Most famous as suave sleuth Simon Templar in the 1960s, Roger Moore hung up his halo and in 1973 stepped into the shoes of James Bond 007 for a blockbusting seven adventures - making his one of the most recognizable faces in the world. Roger Moore has enjoyed an amazingly successful and varied career in both television series and feature films ranging from Ivanhoe, Maverick, The Saint and The Persuaders to The Man Who Haunted Himself, Gold, The Wild Geese, The Cannonball Run and Boat Trip. His wicked sense of humour and raised eyebrow have endeared him to both peers and fans alike. Authors Gareth Owen and Oliver Bayan offer the full story of his films and career, punctuated with memories and anecdotes from the man himself. With almost 100 rare colour and black and white photographs, including many from Moore's own collection, Roger Moore: His Films and Career offers an insight into the world of the intensely private actor and tireless charity worker.
