Sad




My favorite Bond actor, Lois Maxwell, has died. Here's a pretty good article about her. It leaves out some cool things, like her running away from home at 15, during WWII, to join the Royal Canadian Army and while living in Italy, she was an amateur racecar driver...but it has a lot of other stuff. The most interesting to me was her desire to play "M" in the Bond series, after they kicked her out for a younger Miss Moneypenny. Now, that would have been something cool. What were they thinking?

Anyway, some celebrity deaths really make me sad. Weird, but I guess we think of them as people we really know. Anyway, so long, Lois. I think you were charming.
