British actor Roger Moore, best known for playing James Bond, has died. He was 89 years old. His children said in a statement Tuesday that Moore died of cancer. “The love with which he was surrounded in his final days was so great it cannot be quantified in words alone,” they wrote. Moore gained worldwide fame for playing secret agent James Bond, also known as 007. He played Bond in seven films released between 1973 and 1985. They include “Live and Let Die,” “The Spy Who Loved Me” and “A View to a Kill.” The films were based on the books by Ian Fleming. Before becoming Bond, Moore was known in the U.S. for his work in the popular TV series “Maverick,” which aired from 1957 to 1962. And in England, he starred in the long-running 1960s TV show “The Saint.” In that show, he played a hero who helped put wealthy criminals in jail while taking their fortunes. Moore was also one of the longest-serving goodwill ambassadors for the United Nations Children’s Fund.
