Roger Moore offers a look into a career that spans decades and moves toward an enlightened view of the world.
Audrey Hepburn ask him to join in these charitable efforts and Roger gladly accepted. I actually found the charitable work he's done persuading governments to assure people get iodized salt to be the most interesting part of his life. Many unscrupulous people will allow people to be miserable by selling salt with out the added iodine to people in poor countries. The efffects of iodine deficiency during the developmental year can result in learning defects or mental retardation.
Roger's take on James Bond was different than Sean Connery. He felt the gentle art of persuasion was more effective than force. He however did use force when the director asked for it. Roger has a dry British sense of humor referring to his Co-star Maude Adams as Mud. He did not suggest any romantic onscreen romances with his co-stars in the Bond films. He actually found the company of several of them to be very disagreeable.
Roger Roore's friendship with David Niven was similar to Roger Wegner's. They both thought David's last wife was a detestable human being.
In summary, Roger's evolution from a young actor to humanitarian provides a lesson in making the most of your life from a man who doesn't take himself too seriously
