Bond star Moore dies at 89

Roger Moore

Roger Moore, the suave British actor who starred in seven James Bond movies, died Tuesday after a short battle with cancer, his family said. He was 89.

From 1973 to 1985, Moore was Agent 007 in “Live and Let Die,” “The Man with the Golden Gun,” “The Spy Who Loved Me,” “Moonraker,” “For Your Eyes Only,” “Octopussy” and “A View to a Kill.”

From 1962 to 1969, Moore starred on TV’s “The Saint.” In his later years, he was a goodwill ambassador for UNICEF.

Moore was married to ice dancer Doorn van Steyn, British actress Dorothy Squires and Italian actress Luisa Mattioli. Those marriages ended in divorce.

In 2002, he married Kristina ‘Kiki’ Throlstrup, a former neighbor on the French Riviera who connected with Moore over their individual struggles with cancer.

In addition to Kristina, his survivors include the children he had with Mattioli: Geoffrey, Deborah and Christian.
