Lois Maxwell (February 14, 1927 - September 29, 2007)
I am going to be perfectly honest here. I have never seen Lois Maxwell perform in anything. The reason she is being remembered on this blog is because she appeared in more James Bond films than anyone second only to actor Desmond Llewelyn. She appeared in 14, he in 18.
Maxwell began her career in the 1946 Warner film A Matter of Life and Death. On television she appeared on such shows as "Stingray", "Ghost Squad", "Adventures of Rainbow Country", and "Alfred Hitchcock Presents."
She first appeared as Miss Moneypenny in 1962's Dr. No...between 1962 and 1985 she appeared in thirteen more films as the iconic secretary her final being A View to Kill.
Her final screen appearance was in the film The Fourth Angel which was released in 2001.
RIP Miss Moneypenny...you served us well.
