Lois Maxwell

Lois Ruth Maxwell (née Hooker; February 14, 1927 – September 29, 2007) was a Canadian actress. She was best known for portraying Miss Moneypenny in the first 14 Eon-produced ''James Bond'' films (1962–85), from ''Dr. No'' in 1962 to ''A View to a Kill'' in 1985.

Maxwell graduated from the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in England and began her film career in the late 1940s, winning the inaugural Golden Globe Award for Most Promising Newcomer – Actress for her performance in ''That Hagen Girl'' (1947). Dissatisfied with the quality and prominence of roles, she moved to Rome in the following decade, working in Italian cinema as both an actress and dubber.

After her marriage, she moved to the United Kingdom, where she appeared in several television productions and was eventually cast as Moneypenny. She did not appear in the 1967 adaptation of ''Casino Royale'', and in the 1983 remake of ''Thunderball'', ''Never Say Never Again'', as neither of the productions was Eon's, though she did, as a similar character, appear in the spoofs ''O.K. Connery'' and ''From Hong Kong with Love''. Provided by Wikipedia
