Beschreibung des Verlags
In this kind, funny autobiography, Roger Moore does his best to debunk his image as an upper-crust all-action hero. This is a delightful book, crammed with anecdotes of the television and film industry from the Fifties to the Noughties.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Moore, Roger with Gareth Owen. My Word Is My Bond: A Memoir. Collins: HarperCollins. Nov. 2008. c.352p. index. . . 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.
