Sir Roger Moore passed away today in Switzerland at the age of 89 after a brief battle with cancer according to his children.
The actor had acted for decades before he landed the role of a lifetime as Bond, James Bond in 1972. He was first seen as the legendary spy in 1983’s Live and Let Die and played him again six more times until 1985 in A View to a Kill. To me, he will always be the quintessential 007 thanks to Moonraker. I can still remember watching that film with my dad as a child. That is when I was introduced to the Spy Who Loved Me, and I loved him. Like so many other people.

When you heard the news that Erin Moran passed away at the age of 56 on Saturday, you have to admit you thought she either ODed or committed suicide. You didn’t want to, but with her past that is what you thought.
Harrison County Coroner’s office released this statement to WDRB, “On Saturday the 22nd day of April, 2017, Erin Marie Moran-Fleischmann passed away at her residence located in New Salisbury Indiana. A joint investigation into Mrs. Moran’s death was conducted by the Harrison County Sheriff’s Department and the Harrison County Coroner’s Office. A subsequent autopsy revealed that Mrs. Moran likely succumbed to complications of Stage 4 cancer.” Then they added, “Standard toxicology tests were performed and the results are pending however no illegal narcotics were found at the residence.”
Meanwhile her TV brother Ron Howard talked about his little sister on The Talk today and said, “What a great, irrepressible spirit, you know, and a wonderful talent, and you know she was always the kid on the set… the Erin event really did hit hard, and shock, I had no idea she was ill whatsoever. But when I think of her then, which is how I choose to, she was this feisty, spirited girl.” He continued with, “It was kinda a boys club; we had all the guys goofing around… I do remember a particular moment where we were in rehearsal… and somehow it was kinda turning into a shaving cream fight, and she did sneak up behind Henry Winkler with a pretty good shaving cream pie and get him.”
Another Happy Days costar talked about her on Twitter, Ted McGinley wrote, “#ErinMoran#RIPErinMoran. energetic blue eyes exploded with life, like her smile. Always kind to me. One of America’s best little sisters.”
Let’s remember her for her happier times and not the ones that weren’t that way.
