First published 2019
Roger Moore chronicles his transformation into cinema's most famous spy through daily diary entries during the production of Live and Let Die in 1972 and 1973. From his announcement as the new 007 through filming in New Orleans, Jamaica, and New York before wrapping at Pinewood Studios, Moore captures each step of his whirlwind introduction to the Bond franchise. He records his experiences on every location, his interactions with cast members and crew, and the behind-the-scenes reality of stepping into an iconic role. Moore's sharp wit and humor shine through as he navigates the pressures and excitement of his first Bond film. Originally published to coincide with the movie's 1973 premiere, then unavailable for four decades, this day-by-day account reveals the personal side of joining the world's most successful film series.
