Out of
print for over forty years, The 007 Diaries introduces Roger Moore’s
James Bond Diary to a new generation of fans. To tie in with the release of
his first James Bond film, Live and Let Die, Roger Moore agreed to keep
a day-by-day diary throughout the film’s production, which would be published
just ahead of the premiere in July 1973. From his unveiling as the new 007 in
1972 through to his first scenes on location in New Orleans and his final shot
in New York, Moore describes his whirlwind journey as cinema’s most famous
secret agent. Taking in the sights of Jamaica before returning to Pinewood
Studios, Moore’s razor wit and unique brand of humour is ever present. With
tales from every location, including his encounters with his co-stars and key
crew members, Moore offers the reader an unusually candid, amusing and hugely
insightful behind-the-scenes look into the world’s most successful film
franchise.
AUTHOR
DETAILS
SIR ROGER
MOORE KBE had an extraordinary career that 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 was
unforgettable as the title character in The Saint and as Lord Brett Sinclair in
The Persuaders! But it was as James Bond where he made his mark, playing the
most debonair of the 007s in seven blockbusting films.
