Moore Wants Others To Learn From Heartbeat Trauma
24 November 2009 4:16 AM, PST | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Bond star Sir Roger Moore wants his collapse from an irregular heartbeat to serve as a warning to fans who may be suffering from the same condition.
The 007 actor was rushed to hospital after falling over onstage during a performance of Kenneth Branagh's Broadway show The Play What I Wrote in 2003.
He later found out he suffers from arrhythmia - and he's urging fans to check their heartbeats regularly to detect cardiac problems early on.
He says, "People should know their pulse as they would their weight. If I had been checking my pulse I would have realised my heartbeat was slow and sought help. You can check your pulse at any time but last thing at night after a period of rest is a good time. I was lucky. My collapse was a warning. Others may not be so fortunate. Taking your pulse only takes 30 seconds." »
Moore Named PETA's Person Of The Year
19 November 2009 8:12 AM, PST | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Sir Roger Moore has been honoured by the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) in the U.K. for his campaign to ban controversial French delicacy foie gras.
The former James Bond star, a longtime animal lover, has been working tirelessly since 2006 to convince bosses at British department store Selfridges to stop selling the product, which is made from the engorged livers of ducks and geese.
Moore, who teamed up with PETA for a video campaign to advise shoppers against buying the delicacy, has even offered to personally purchase the company's remaining stock to take the food off the store's shelves.
His pleas have been met with silence from Selfridges managers, but his efforts have won him high praise from PETA officials, who have named him their 2009 Person of the Year.
And Moore is delighted with the accolade. He says, "I am deeply touched and thrilled to be awarded the PETA UK Person of the Year. When I first saw their video footage on foie gras production three years ago, I felt compelled to do something to help put a stop to this cruel delicacy." »
Moore Outraged Over Foie Gras
5 November 2009 8:11 AM, PST | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Sir Roger Moore has stepped up his battle with a U.K. department store which sells foie gras by filming an ad blasting the controversial French delicacy.
The former Bond actor, a long-time animal lover, has previously sent private letters urging bosses at London's Selfridges to ban foie gras, which is made of the engorged livers of ducks and geese, even offering to buy up all their remaining stock to empty their shelves.
Selfridges owners have continued to sell the cans but Moore is refusing to end his crusade - he's shot a TV and print campaign with animal rights charity People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) to convince holiday shoppers not to buy the delicacy.
One ad shows the 82 year old holding a sign with the words, "Force-feeding birds is cruel, not yule."
Another promo, depicting the abuse animals suffer before they are killed, was rejected on the grounds it was too cruel - which Moore insists only serves to prove his point.
He says, "As foie gras production is too cruel to show on an ad, surely this torture in a tin is too violently produced for Selfridges to sell." »
Moore Yearns For A Simple Life
5 November 2009 12:11 AM, PST | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Millionaire former Bond star Sir Roger Moore has tired of fame and fortune - insisting he gets "spoilt rotten" when he tries to go about his daily life.
The veteran actor has enjoyed a stellar five-decade spanning career, which has enabled him to live in the lap of luxury.
But the star insists he wishes he could do the simple things things in life without being fussed over.
He says, "It is difficult to do some things. I remember in early Bond years thinking how nice it would be to be able to take my children to the fairground when they were little for example.
"Now it is sometimes tricky going into a big store or even through an airport but conversely I get spoilt rotten sometimes.
"I think one thing I'd love is to take my whole family for beans on toast and a milkshake, dressed in our scruffy casual clothes... and get the bus home." »

Moore Eyes Dr Who Role
4 September 2009 5:16 AM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Bond legend Sir Roger Moore is vying for a guest spot on Dr Who - after learning his 007 protege Timothy Dalton has landed a part in a forthcoming Christmas special.
Dalton, who took over the reigns from Moore in 1987 to play the suave superspy in The Living Daylights and Licence To Kill, is set to appear in the cult British sci-fi show as the mysterious character The Narrator in December.
After hearing his replacement was to star in the show, Moore has offered himself up to play Dalton's father.
He says, "I believe Timothy is to appear in one of the new episodes, so if they ever want anyone to play his dad, I'm available." »
Moore Never Discussed Bond With Niven
2 September 2009 5:16 AM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Sir Roger Moore never talked about James Bond with his close pal David Niven - even though both actors played 007.
Moore enjoyed a 12-year run as the superspy between 1973 and 1985, but his late friend also played the coveted role - starring in 1967 Bond spin-off Casino Royale.
Moore says, "I first really got to know him when we made The King's Thief together in Hollywood in the 1950s. As the years went by we became much closer friends in the seventies, but we never really spoke about him playing 007. I'm sure he would have jested about it at some point but actors generally don't discuss parts they've each played. You don't see Mel Gibson sitting around talking to Kenneth Branagh about how they both played Hamlet." »

DVD Playhouse—June 2009
By
Allen Gardner
The International (Sony) An Interpol agent (Clive Owen) joins forces with a Manhattan D.A. (Naomi Watts) to bring down an arms dealing ring and a corrupt global banking cartel that’s funding them. Superlative thriller was oddly ignored by critics and audiences alike, but expertly blends intelligence (courtesy screenwriter Eric Warren Singer’s masterfully-crafted script) and full-throttle action (director Tom Tykwer stages one of the great film shoot-outs in New York’s iconic Guggenheim Museum), making this dynamite thriller reminiscent of the best work from masters such as John Frankenheimer and Robert Aldrich. Armin Mueller-Stahl is wonderful as a world-weary covert op. Bonuses: Extended scene; Featurettes; Trailer. Widescreen. Dolby 5.1 surround.

Moore Demands End To Child Sex Abuse
2 June 2009 6:40 PM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Former James Bond star Sir Roger Moore has demanded officials around the world put a stop to the sexual exploitation of children - by pursuing paedophiles across international borders.
The 81 year old was speaking in Germany on Tuesday to publicise a new report for Unicef, for which he is a longterm ambassador, on the sexual abuse of youngsters.
He called for police to enter foreign countries in a bid to catch abusers and put them behind bars.
Moore says, "Childhood is being destroyed by sexual abuse, violence and neglect. We must stop it. If we do nothing, our silence would mean acceptance.
"I can hardly imagine a more shameful violation of the rights of children as the deliberate exploitation of their bodies by unscrupulous adults to serve their sexual appetite. They destroy the childhood of their victims and do harm to them that lasts throughout their lives."
He adds, "Perpetrators must be followed across borders." »

Cinema Retro columnist Gareth Owen (left) with Jimmy Perry. .By Dave WorrallLast Friday (April 24th) saw scriptwriter Jimmy Perry as the guest speaker at The Lunch Club, a monthly networking club for people who work in the media industry. Perry, now a spritely 87, is the 'other half' of writing team Jimmy Perry and David Croft, who have written some of the most successful BBC comedy shows in the history of British television, including Dad's Army, It Ain't Half Hot Mom and Hi-De-Hi! Perry started his career as a bit-part actor before turning to writing, and was awarded an OBE in 1978 for his services to the TV industry. Many of the sitcoms Perry co-wrote with Croft drew heavily on his personal experience: at 17 he joined the Watford Home Guard (Dad's Army); two years later he was called up into the regular forces, and was sent to Burma with the Royal Artillery, »

Former James Bond star Sir Roger Moore formed a lifelong opposition to bloodsports after killing a bird as a child.
The 81-year-old actor "murdered" a swallow in his youth and is still haunted by the incident - leaving him fiercely against hunting and shooting.
He says, "I was in a barn with a couple of other boys and we saw a swallow nesting near the rafters. I was very stupid, as boys often are, and in a moment of madness I threw a stone at it, and the bird fell dead to the ground. I felt ghastly, like a murderer.
"The incident has stayed with me all these years and had such a profound effect on me that I am completely opposed to any form of bloodsport and loathe hunting and shooting." »

Roger, 81, told Country Living magazine: "I was in the barn with a couple of other boys and we saw a swallow nesting in the rafters. I was very stupid, as boys often are, and in a moment of madness I threw a stone up at it and the bird fell dead to the ground."

Moore Pledges Cash To Help AIDS Fight
23 February 2009 11:05 PM, PST | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Former James Bond star Roger Moore has pledged to donate money to the AIDS-devastated Southern African country Swaziland.
The British actor will hand the proceeds from an appearance at the Eilat Chamber Music Festival, which kicked off on Sunday, to the Jerusalem AIDS Project (Jaip) - an Israeli program that encourages male circumcision as a way of reducing AIDS and HIV in Africa.
Moore hopes his monetary gesture will help to pay for Israelis to train natives in the art of performing circumcisions - an estimated 185,000 of Swaziland's 1.1 million population are HIV positive.
He says, "Who better than Jewish and Muslim doctors (from Israel) to carry out this procedure? Because they do it by the thousands." »
