Sir Roger Moore, James Bond actor, dies aged 89
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-40018422Sir Roger's Bond was calm and suave - a smooth operator who could seemingly get himself out of a tricky situation with ease.
Sir Roger's family confirmed the news on Twitter, saying he had died after "a short but brave battle with cancer".
The veteran star, who died in Switzerland, will have a private funeral in Monaco in accordance with his wishes, his children said.
Along with his famous Bond role, Moore was also known for TV series The Persuaders and The Saint.
Sir Roger was also well known for his humanitarian work - he was introduced to Unicef by the late Audrey Hepburn and was appointed as a goodwill ambassador in 1991.

"You just have to look at the lines, say them, and don't bump into the furniture."

He definitely was 'a smooth operator' if ever there was one. That voice and mannerisms were a one-off I reckon. I remember 'that look' and a raised eyebrow when he was with the females in any of his films!
