My Take
Lois Maxwell holds a special place for me because she made a supporting role iconic. As the original Miss Moneypenny across fourteen Eon Bond films from 1962 to 1985, she never carried a picture, yet every scene tightened the moment she appeared. That wry, affectionate sparring with Bond was largely her own elegance, a poise you cannot fake. This Canadian actress, born in 1927, also turned to writing later, which hints at a sharper, tougher mind than the role let on. I think she understood that presence beats screen time, and she remains, to me, a true icon of the era.
