Maxwell, Lois
Lois Maxwell with Sean Connery.

Lois Maxwell (born Lois Hooker on February 14, 1927 in Kitchener, Ontario) is a Canadian actress, best known for her role as Miss Moneypenny in the James Bond franchise.

In the late 1940s, Maxwell attempted to make a name for herself as a starlet in Hollywood; she participated in a Life Magazine photo layout in which she posed with another up-and-coming actress named Marilyn Monroe. She appeared in Bedtime for Bonzo with Ronald Reagan, whom she declared (in an interview with Hello! magazine), she had found very handsome and attractive.

Starring in fourteen James Bond films, many fans credit her as the definitive Miss Moneypenny:

  1. Dr No (1962)
  2. From Russia with Love (1963)
  3. Goldfinger (1964)
  4. Thunderball (1965)
  5. You Only Live Twice (1967)
  6. On Her Majesty’s Secret Service (1969)
  7. Diamonds Are Forever (1971)
  8. Live and Let Die (1973)
  9. The Man with the Golden Gun (1974)
  10. The Spy Who Loved Me (1977)
  11. Moonraker (1979)
  12. For Your Eyes Only (1981)
  13. Octopussy (1983)
  14. A View to a Kill (1985)
