In this warm and engaging book, the late, great Sir Roger Moore reflects on life and ageing. Delivered to his publisher mere days before he passed away, in Bientt, Roger looks back on his life and gives it his trademark sideways glance, too. Nostalgic, funny, charming and, most importantly, very human, his reflections on age and ageing encompass all aspects of this universal experience, from reminiscences on childhood and what might have been; keeping abreast of the ever changing times; senior moments, memory and getting to grips with technology; the joys and frustrations of travel; work and play. Always upbeat and as ever endearingly self-effacing and unpretentious, here for the last time Roger shares the story of his life: the highs, the lows, and the lessons learned.
"'A Bientot' offers Mr. Moore's musings, along with anecdotes, sketches, photos, complaints about growing old, and abundant humor . . . many fans will enjoy 'A Bientot, ' as will those looking for a bit of humor and nostalgia." --Washington Times Online
Sir Roger Moore KBE had an extraordinary career that spanned seven decades, from early television to the golden age of Hollywood and on to international superstardom. Dashing, handsome and every inch the archetypal English gentleman, he was unforgettable as The Saint, as Lord Brett Sinclair in The Persuaders and, of course, as James Bond, making seven blockbusting films as arguably the most debonair of the 007s.
