Sir Roger Moore R.I.P

[Aktungbby]

DAMN! Forget James Bond. SIR Roger Moore CBE was Ivanhoe in the 50's! My introduction to 'Chivalry 101'! His faithful companion Gurth was played by Robert Brown who later played "M' in the James Bond movies as well. He was 'brother Beau' on my favorite western Maverick too. I still watch reruns of The Saint. I'm thoroughly bummed.

Moore insisted on undertaking much of the stunt work himself, resulting in several injuries including three cracked ribs from a fight scene and being knocked unconscious when a battleaxe hit his helmeted skull. Moore later commented: "I felt a complete Charlie riding around in all that armour and damned stupid plumed helmet. I felt like a medieval fireman".
