007 #1: Bond, James Bond

Happy 80th birthday today to Moore, Roger Moore. I remember watching him as Simon "The Saint" Templar and in Maverick as Beauregarde Maverick, besides various other movie and television roles.

Roger, if you are lurking out there, have a great day.
 
James Bond film car plunges into northern Italy lake

ROME (AP) - The car being used in the latest James Bond film plunged into a lake in northern Italy while being driven to the set.

Producers say the driver of the Aston Martin was taken to a hospital with minor injuries. They say James Bond's iconic car was being delivered to the filming unit in heavy rain on Saturday morning when it went off the road and plunged into Lake Garda.

Italian state TV has shown footage of the smashed, black car being hoisted out of the water.

"Quantum of Solace" is the newest film in the 007 series. It stars Daniel Craig and is due for release later this year.
