Last Man Standing: Tales from Tinseltown | Roger Moore
4 posts | 5 read | 1 to read
In a career that spans over seven decades, Roger Moore has been at the very heart of the show business scene. Of course, he's an actor and has starred in films that have made him famous the world over; but he's also a tremendous prankster, joker and raconteur - in fact, he's well known as one of the nicest guys in the business, and someone who has always been up for some fun. In this fabulous collection of true stories from his stellar career, Roger lifts the lid on the movie business, from Hollywood to Pinewood. It features outrageous tales from his own life and career as well as those told to him by a host of stars and filmmakers, including Tony Curtis, Sean Connery, Michael Caine, David Niven, Frank Sinatra, Gregory Peck, John Mills, Peter Sellers, Michael Winner, Cubby Broccoli and many more. Wonderfully entertaining and laugh-out-loud funny, this selection of tales from the world of the movies is vintage Moore at his very best.

It's like sitting down to afternoon tea with Moore & having him regale you with Hollywood gossip. Funny, self-deprecating, & ever -so-slightly ribald, he must have been a riot at dinner parties. Featuring stories about (but not limited to) Michael Caine, Tony Curtis, Frank Sinatra, & Cubby Broccoli, this is an undemanding & humorous read. 4🌟

Roger Moore truly was an English legend. His spin on Bond was very different but I loved the guy. His character shines through the book with his wit and his tendency to mock himself and praise others as he mostly focusses on the actors and directors he met over the years, rather than blowing his own trumpet. An easy read by a very much missed English gent.

Gezemice Roger Moore had a sense of humor and was not afraid of making fun of himself. He is cool in my book. 7y
myers85 @Gezemice I agree, he was a very cool guy! 7y

As a Bond fan, seeing this on offer for £4 I could no way say no to this bargain today. Moore was a true legend. Looking forward to reading this at some point.

Abandoned the audiobook pretty early. Was just a rambling collection of gossipy anecdotes about old Hollywood figures, most of which didn't even involve Roger Moore.
