Former Bond girl Britt Ekland has said her “Bond is gone” following the death of Sir Roger Moore.
The actress starred alongside the longest reigning 007 in 1974 movie The Man With The Golden Gun as Bond’s assistant Mary Goodnight.
Britt called Sir Roger the “epitome of Bond” in a message on Twitter.
My Bond is gone, am filled with great sadness. Roger was the epitome of Bond, witty, sofisticated, elegant, funny. Rip
