The 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.

      Moore, Roger with Gareth Owen. My Word Is My Bond: A Memoir. Collins: HarperCollins. Nov. 2008. c.352p. index. ISBN 978-0-06-167388-7. $27.95. FILM~Verdict: Actor Moore reveals himself to be a natural storyteller, employing his self-deprecating wit to great effect in behind-the-scenes accounts of The Saint and the James Bond franchise. There's no dirt dishing, but film fanatics will still eat it up. Background: In this perhaps inevitably titled memoir, Moore reminisces about his life and 60-year acting career. A sickly only child from a close-knit family in South London, Moore has really enjoyed his life and success without becoming jaded. He had an artistic bent and might have been an animator but was fired from his job as a trainee for failing to deliver rushes from the film lab to his company's office. It may come as a surprise that Moore is not only an actor but also a TV and movie director. In recent years, Moore has devoted a great deal of his time to the charity UNICEF.-Diana Lawsky, North Bergen, NJ.
