Lois Maxwell’s film career began when she was only 19 in A Matter of Life and Death. She was given The Most Promising Newcomer Award at the Golden Globes in 1947 for her role in That Hagen Girl. She is usually remembered for her many appearances as the efficient Miss Moneypenny in the the first 14 James Bond films produced between 1962 and 1985 when she was dropped in favour of someone younger. She died of cancer in hospital in Australia.
