Dear Sir Roger,
I have noticed a few indications that you play
the piano. Is that true? If so, how long have you played and do
you play very often, whether it be for an audience or for your
own pleasure? I have sang in churches and other venues most of
my life. However, I never learned to play an instrument. My husband
plays the bass guitar and I can only use our PA system and the
CD player that comes with it to play our music when we perform.
I would have loved to play the piano and may still take that on
someday. If playing piano is one of your many talents, then I
encourage you to do so often. Music is food for the soul. As always,
I pray God blesses you and Lady Kristine in all your endeavors
for the children of our world.
Much love and regards, 
Dee from the US
I'm sorry to say that no,
I do not play the piano. I can maybe knock out Chopsticks with
a bit of thought, but that's the extent of my musical talent.
Some are blessed with musical ability, others with good looks.
Myself, I was blessed with modesty.

Dear Sir Roger,
I know my question is a bit unusual…
There is only one thing I hate and that is typing.
The number of typing errors I make is
endless
and my only enemies worldwide are keyboards. Modern computers
ease the situation a bit, yet I wonder if people who pass down
on the pavement below my office know of the constant danger they
are in: being hit by a computer thrown out of the window by a
frustrated clerk…
I would like to ask you if you are a fellow sufferer.
We know you were born in 1927 so I assume when you attended school
(which must have been circa in the 1930s and 1940s) typing was
not taught yet. I read you are mostly travelling with a fax-machine.
Well, that leaves everything open, one can fax handwritten as
well as typed messages. I often ask myself how you manage your
correspondence, meaning if you type, handwrite, dictate, or…?
Thank you so much and the very best regards
Martin from Vienna
Yes
I do type - though it's limited to a few fingers, rather than
touch typing. I take my laptop with me when I'm travelling and
knock off the odd e-mail and begging letter. And when I'm unable,
I bark down the phone to Gareth, who rattles the keyboard very
efficiently. Well, not as good as me obviously, but I'm too modest
to say anything.
It isn't so much the typing
that frustrates me as when the damn machine freezes or crashes,
or is on a go-slow. I find that very frustrating.

Dear Sir Roger,
First, I must say thank you for years of enjoyment in your portrayal
of James Bond. The best memory I have with my father was going
to the drive-in movie and watching Moonraker in 1979. As a ten
year old I was impressed with a hero who wore a suit, was intelligent,
clever, and witty. These aspects of Bond, for me, are the most
important. Even the violence of your Bond films was tame compared
with today's standards. My question is this: Is there anyone from
your childhood that you looked up to as a role model? Thank you
for your time and congratulations on your work with Unicef. As
much as I enjoy your Bond films it is your dedication to charity
that makes you a true hero.
Sincerely,
Jack Lamb

Well,
I used to go to my local cinema whenever I could and I loved movies
with the Hollywood idols - James Stewart, Walter Pidgeon, Clark
Gable, and our own Stewart Granger and David Niven. I guess you
could say they were my idols. I was very fortunate to meet many
of them later on, and wasn't disappointed!


HELLO SIR ROGER,having been a great fan of "the
persuaders!" since boyhood i
remember
being sad at the news that my favourite series was not to return
for a second season,my spirits lifted somewhat on my heros excellent
debut as 007 in "live and let die" but my question for
you is looking back would you have liked to have done another
season of "the persuaders!" had the chance of being
bond had not come about,i always felt you had a great gift for
light comic roles [much like the great cary grant had] thank you
for all your entertainment down the years, lenny.
Goodbye
my friendly Persuaders

It's difficult to say.
Tony and I enjoyed making the show, but it's a big commiment to
make - 12 months of your life per series. I really wanted to do
some more movies, and felt I'd done my share of tv. Who knows,
had Bond not come along we may have done.
But it's so very difficult
to say. At the time I didn't want to commit to another series,
put it that way.

Dear Sir Roger, in 1955 you worked in two movies,
Happy 50 anniversary! In “The King’s thief”
you performed with your friend, David Niven, the second film was
“Interrupted Melody”, about the singer Maryorie Lawrence,
with Glenn Ford and Eleanor Parker (I think that both still alive).
I wish to know your memories about this classical movies (the
next year I will to ask you about “Diane”). Thanks
a lot. Hasta pronto.

Whenever I'm asked who my
favourite co-star is, I always hesitate in giving an answer.
But if asked which of my co-stars had the biggest effect and impact
on me, I say - without hesitation - Eleanor Parker. She taught
me so much about film acting and was so very generous and kind
to me on set. She'd often say " Roger step forward, take
the whole screen, this is your scene". How
many actresses would say that?
I loved working on both films.
The King's Thief was terrific in that I got to work with Niv.
He became a dear friend, and we worked together again too.
I was very green back then
and by great fortune I was cast alongside such nice actors. What
more could a jobbing thesp hope for?


Hi
Roger,
I have enjoyed watching you in your various roles
and guises over the years, but the roleof Seymour Goldfarb, Jr
you played in Cannonball Run particularly interests me.
Firstly, how did Cubby and the bosses at Bond feel
about you basically playing a spoof version of 007 in another
movie, given they obviously had the rights etc to the character.
Also on the movie in general, whilst it appeared
that there was a genuine affection between all, i just wondered
how so many world famous stars and egos could co-exist on the
same set.
Regards
Martin
We were always very careful.
I said I wouldn't spoof Bond, but wouldn't mind sending myself
up. And who could grumble about me sending me up? So whilst there
were
apparent
nods to Bond, with the car and the girls etc, I never pretended
to be anyone other than a bloke called Roger Moore. There were
many people spoofing Bond such as James Coburn in the 'Flint'
movies around that time anyway. But not many spoofed Roger Moore!
I don't think there were any
problems or egos on set. Not all of the actors were on set together
very much in any case, they all had their little 'episodes'. Most
of them knew each other, and enjoyed drinking with one another,
so it was really a very happy production - and we all got paid
on time, so that helps too!
Thank you to Sir Roger Moore
