Miss Moneypenny has died. Lois Maxwell, 80, who played M’s secretary in fourteen James Bond films starting with Dr. No in ’62, was 35 when she first played the role. Her last Moneypenny was in ’85’s A View to a Kill, when she was 58. She spent 23 years flirting and hinting with 007 to absolutely no avail. The Canadian-born actress died of cancer yesterday, 9.29, near Perth, Australia.
