Great story comedy writer Marc Haynes shared about Roger Moore:

That's a great story. Roger was a true gentleman and a good sport.

Rip Roger u will be missed

 

[Dark Raven]

It was great that he remembered the details of that meeting all these years later and what he had said to the little boy back then, and continued the joke.

RIP Mr. Moore! He was easily the silliest of the Bonds, but he had a good sense of humor and was a real gent. Indeed nobody does it better.

 

[Golgo-13]

R.I.P Roger Moore. Still my favorite Bond.

 

[Dave McFly]

one of my fave roles he did later in life was in Boat Trip, where he played a gay man on a gay cruise and had one of the best quotes:

"You may think of me as simply a hard-partying old queen, but for *your information* I spent 32 years in the SAS, serving Her Majesty, the *real* Queen. I've been in five different theaters of war, done 490 jumps, 27 of them into hostile territory. I'm what you colonials might call a *bad-assed CENSORED*, who happens to be skilled in the fine art of Japanese flower-arranging."

RIP Roger, you will be missed

Devastated to report that #LisaSpoonauer, who played Caitlin in #clerks, has passed away. In 1992, I went looking for Lisa without knowing either who she was or the integral role she'd play in my life. I'd held a night of open auditions at the #firstavenueplayhouse (where we found @briancohalloran and @marilynghigliotti) but the perfect Caitlin Bree never walked through the door. So I popped into an acting class at Brookdale Community College and watched the students from the back. Lisa was easily the most natural and authentic voice in the room. She didn't sound like she was acting at all; she delivered scripted dialogue as if she was inventing her conversation in the moment, like people do in real life. Captivated, I approached Lisa cold in the parking lot after the class and said "This is gonna sound creepy but... Do you wanna be in a movie?" Fearlessly, she replied "Not if it's porn." I told her a bit about Clerks and gave her a copy of the script and my phone number. She called me a few days later and said "Well it's not porn, but everybody talks like it is. It's funny. I'll do it." A complete stranger at first, Lisa quickly became one of the most important people I'd ever meet when she joined Brian, #JeffAnderson, Marilyn, @jaymewes, @samosier, @davidkleinasc and me as one of the chief architects of my first film. We rehearsed for a month straight in the store after hours, where Lisa perfected Caitlin (and fell in love with Jeff). The first night of the shoot, Lisa had to maneuver her way through a seven minute scene with Brian in the video store, when Caitlin finally shows up in the movie. Lisa and Brian CRUSHED it in one long take that still remains one of my favorite scenes I've ever shot - not because it shows off any directorial flare (it doesn't) but because it exemplified how great the performers were since we never had to cut away from their 2-shot. But as strong an actress as she was, Lisa was an even more excellent Mother to her daughter Mia. Whenever we'd Facebook later in life, she'd gush about her baby girl proudly. My heart goes out to Tom, Mia and Lisa's family. Thank you for dreaming my dream with me. You changed my life, Lisa.

Watched Roger Moore in The Persuaders on TV last night. So hard to believe that both he and Curtis are gone. Great on-screen chemistry.

Roger Moore isn't my favorite Bond but I saw my first Bond movie with him as 007, and it's still one of my favorite to this day (For Your Eyes Only). Best song too.

Have to say as much as I liked Moore he wasn't my favourite Bond either - but I also liked FYEO.

Actor Jared Martin dies at age 75 http://www.msn.com/en-us/tv/news/ja...as’-actor-was-75/ar-BBByouR?OCID=ansmsnnews11

He was best known for his role on the TV show Dallas as Dusty Farrow. His character was originally signed for 3 episodes where he died at the end....but fans liked him so much the writers had to come up with a "miracle" where he was brought back from the dead to continue on for several more seasons. People on the HYPE might remember him best from both seasons of the TV series WAR OF THE WORLDS playing Dr. Harrison Blackwood, the alien "Varian" from the TV series THE FANTASTIC JOURNEY, or from a two part episode of Lynda Carter's WONDER WOMAN series. I first took notice of him from the 1974 TV movie MEN OF THE DRAGON....one of the first American movies to be take advantage of the new KUNG FU craze.

RIP Mr. Martin.

A couple of days late, but RIP to former children's TV presenter John Noakes. Presented Blue Peter in the late 60s/early 70s. Famous for his ridiculously daring stunts for the show and his dog Shep, he was a household name for many over a certain age in the UK.

Sad to hear about Ms. Verdugo......I love all the old UNIVERSAL horror movies.

I remember Elena Verdugo as the gypsy girl, Alanka, in the House of Frankenstein... she was
turned off by J. Carrol Naish's hump, so she went with a real wolf instead, Lon Chaney Jr.

 

[RockSP]

R.I.P. to Jeffrey Campbell, a.k.a. EMD and/or The Educated Rapper from the old school hip-hop group U.T.F.O. (best known for the song Roxanne, Roxanne). Gone at 54 due to cancer.
