But Roger Moore sure was a good one, bit too much gimmicks but he definately stands well above anybody who followed him.

I agree, his Bond was great and the movie one of the best, the end scene was filmed fairly early on so he didn't fully grasp the hard edge Bond has in the OHMSS book. Fewer gadgets, Diana Rigg, The Alps and Telly Savalas (the best Blofeld). I also liked the Homage to earlier Bonds after 007 "quits", done via music and facial expressions.
George and I played cricket together here in LA quite often and he is a sensational actor, albeit only on the field when he screams HOWZAT on a catch that bounced 3 or 4 times on its way to his hands.
He self admittedly was so awful on the set and in post that Cubby Broccoli pulled the remaining few hairs out and when he showed up at the premiere with a beard, that was it.

Sad, because he had plenty of what the written Bond had, almost as sad as seeing Connery in Never Say Never Again.

I hadn't ever seen the Lazenby movie until maybe 10-12 years ago. I was shocked when I finally did see it because I thought it was excellent and was surprised that it got so little air time.

I don't know if that's a good idea. This is the file server Pelican Parts had to put in just for the 2020 random pic's thread.

My Stepdad was the Botanical Curator at the Huntington for several decades. As kids we used to spend holidays walking the grounds as a family, it was very cool because the place was closed on Holidays and we had the place to ourselves. There are large areas that are closed to the public that look like California did about 100 years ago. He travelled the world looking for rare species of plants (succulents were his specialty). I think he said he visited 44 countries and had several newly discovered species named after him.
