Former '007' Roger Moore Hospitalized


NEW YORK (AP) - Roger Moore, who starred in a string of James
Bond films, was recovering in a hospital Thursday after collapsing
during a stage performance, his assistant said.

Moore, 75, fell down Wednesday during a dance number in the
second act of the comedy ``The Play What I Wrote,'' and was taken to St. Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital, said Gareth Owen, Moore's assistant, in London.

Hospital officials and emergency personnel in New York could not
immediately confirm the incident.

The New York City Fire Department said only that EMS personnel
responded to the Lyceum Theater at about 2:45 p.m. Wednesday and transported an unconscious patient to St. Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital.

``He had breathing difficulties but he carried on with the
show,'' Owen told Press Association, the British news agency. ``He is very comfortable and doing well. I've spoken to his agent and he's fine.''

His first James Bond film was ``Live and Let Die'' in 1973, and
he went on to star in six other Bond movies: ``The Man with the
Golden Gun'' (1974), ``The Spy Who Loved Me'' (1977), ``Moonraker''(1979), ``For Your Eyes Only'' (1981), ``Octopussy'' (1983) and ``A View to a Kill'' (1985).

Before he became Bond, Moore was well-known to television
viewers as Beau Maverick, the English cousin of James Garner's
character on ``Maverick,'' and as detective Simon Templar in ``The Saint.''

He was a very good Bond, I found, humorous than most, but still very good. He and Mr. Lee starred in a few other things together. I've read of a few things, in terms of movies and TV.

He and Sean Connery are my favorite Bond's. He and Mr. Lee knew each other long before Man with the Golden Gun. They were in a movie called Trottie True.

I hope that he is feeling better. I did not find out about this until I got on here.:frostyang
