Pamela Salem, who portrayed Miss Moneypenny in the non-Eon James Bond movie Never Say Never Again, has passed away at the age of 80.
While Pamela Salem’s turn as Moneypenny was a one-off – and in a film that is widely not considered part of the 007 canon – her go at the beloved character can’t be ignored. Interestingly, despite how frequently the character appears in the Bond universe, she has only been played by a small selection of actresses: Lois Maxwell, Caroline Bliss, Samantha Bond, and Naomie Harris. But only Salem has the distinction of playing Miss Moneypenny just one time.
But not once was there any strange bad blood between Pamela Salem or her predecessors, particularly Maxwell. As per a 1984 interview (via The Hollywood Reporter), Salem said, “I had seen Moneypenny before, of course, in the earlier films played by Lois Maxwell…At first [the media] tried to stir things up between...

Naomie Harris has spoken to Digital Spy about becoming the new Miss Moneypenny in Skyfall.
The British actress, whose big screen credits include 28 Days Later and Pirates of the Caribbean, leapt into the James Bond franchise as MI6 field agent Eve, a role shrouded in secrecy by the film's production team.
After multiple auditions, Harris was told by director Sam Mendes and producer Barbara Broccoli that Skyfall would reintroduce several key characters from the series' past, and she would step into a role previously played by Lois Maxwell, Caroline Bliss and Samantha Bond.
"I had to keep everything a secret for ages," Harris told Digital Spy during the inaugural East Coast Trains journey from London to Edinburgh.
"Even when I'd just got given the role I was told that I couldn't tell anyone, so it's nice now to be free of all [the secrecy] and just say, 'Yes, I am Miss Moneypenny!

To mark the 50th Anniversary of one of the most successful movie franchises of all time and with filming now complete on James Bond’s 23rd official outing in Skyfall due for release later this year, I have been tasked with taking a retrospective look at the films that turned author Ian Fleming’s creation into one of the most recognised and iconic characters in film history.
Following Roger Moore’s departure from the lead role after starring in the previous seven films, the fifteenth James Bond film, The Living Daylights, was seized upon as an opportunity to reboot the series with not only a new Bond but a new approach to the franchise that had become rather formulaic over the past 25 years. Taking the title from one of Fleming’s short stories, writers Richard Maibaum and Michael G. Wilson took the character back to his roots making a conscious...

James Bond fans will be thrilled to learn that director Sam Mendes is re-introducing Miss Moneypenny to the franchise after a ten-year absence, with Naomie Harris vying for the part.
The Daily Mail reports that Harris, who rose to fame in 28 Days Later and Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest, is in the final stages of signing for the role.
She will be the fourth actress to play the quick-witted secretary, made famous by Lois Maxwell in fourteen films from 1962 to 1985. Caroline Bliss stepped in to star alongside Timothy Dalton in the late 1980s, before Samantha Bond took over for the Pierce Brosnan era from 1995 to 2002.
Craig has already signed up to make his third appearance as the popular agent, while Judi Dench will make her seventh appearance as boss M.
Producers have also finally confirmed the signings of Javier Bardem and Ralph Fiennes as the film's villains after months of speculation.

Star of 28 Days Later is reportedly in final talks with Sam Mendes to play M's flirtatious secretary in next Bond film
Bond producers have met with Naomie Harris with a view to engaging her services as the new Miss Moneypenny in Sam Mendes's forthcoming James Bond film, reports the Daily Mail.
Harris, best known for her turns in 28 Days Later and the Pirates of the Caribbean films, has not yet been confirmed in the role. Moneypenny is the flirtatious secretary to Bond's secret services boss M in Ian Fleming's stories. She has not yet appeared in the latest Daniel Craig-led iteration of the long-running spy saga, and her entry might signal the start of a return to the series' roots.
Craig himself has said that the leaner, darker Bond introduced by Martin Campbell with 2006's Casino Royale might slowly morph into a more familiar figure over the next few films.

We've known for some time that Naomie Harris has been in talks to play a Bond girl in the the next 007 movie. Now, according to a report by the Daily Mail's Baz Bamigboye, we hear she's set to play M's secretary (and James Bond's flirt-object) Moneypenny. The iconic character has been played by five actresses since Dr No in 1962, if you include appearances in unofficial Bond movies Casino Royale (1967) and Never Say Never Again. Lois Maxwell played the character across 14 movies, before Caroline Bliss took over for the Timothy Dalton films....

According to the Daily Mail, Pirates of the Caribeann and Miami Vice star Naomie Harris is in final negotiations to play the flirtatious, Ian Fleming created MI6 secretary Miss. Moneypenny in the upcoming 23rd James Bond movie, which is as of yet still untitled.
The actress recently confirmed that she auditioned for a role but never went into any detail. If indeed she is set to play Moneypenny, it would make her the 4th actress in the series to do so (officially at least as Barbara Bouchet and Pamela Salem played the character in non-canon Bond films Casino Royale [1967] and Never Say Never Again [1983]) and the first black woman to take on the character.
Lois Maxwell originally portrayed the role from 1962′s Dr No up until 1985′s A View To A Kill….
Caroline Bliss played the part for both Timothy Dalton’s 007 movies…
and was followed by Samantha Bond for Pierce Brosnan’s era…...

She's fought zombies in "28 Days Later" and pirates in "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest," but Naomie Harris' latest role pits her against her greatest opponent yet: seduction.
The 34-year-old actress has been cast as M's assistant, Moneypenny, the object of Bond's flirtatious advances, in Sam Mendes' upcoming "Bond 23" (via IndieWire).
The iconic character, which has appeared in 20 previous Bond films and two TV specials, has been played in the past by actresses Lois Maxwell, Caroline Bliss, Samantha Bond, Barbara Bouchet, and Pamela Salem.
While Moneypenny has not appeared in "Casino Royale," or "Quantum of Solace," the two most recent Bond films starring Daniel Craig as 007, she won't be the only new addition to the cast; Ralph Fiennes has reportedly signed on as a "darkly complex" character, while Javier Bardem tackles the role of the film's villain.

We already know that Daniel Craig will re-team with his Road to Perdition director Sam Mendes for the next entry into the James Bond series, unofficially going under Bond 23. After both rumors of Javier Bardem and Ralph Fiennes joining the cast, Baz Bamigboye of Daily Mail reports that they are locked into the cast.
Bardem’s role is rumored to be the villain, while Fiennes part is said to be “one of extreme complexity and only an actor of great ability and dexterity can take it on.” It has also been said the “revolutionary” project will feature an ensemble cast in “the first of a new generation of Bond films, and the ideas Mendes has push the film into darker territory where the characters are modern, mature and challenging.”

Baz Bamigboye's new column indicates that Javier Bardem, Ralph Fiennes and Naomie Harris are all pretty much set to star in the next James Bond film as previously rumored.
The big news is that "Pirates of the Caribbean" and "Miami Vice" actress Harris will Not be playing a Bond girl, rather she's in the final stages of talks to take on the role of one of the series most iconic characters - Miss Moneypenny.
M's flirtatious secretary has been around since the very first Bond film "Dr. No" in 1962 and was memorably played by Lois Maxwell through until 1985's "A View to a Kill". Caroline Bliss delivered a very dull interpretation of her for Timothy Dalton's two outings, Pamela Salem played her in the unofficial "Never Say Never Again", while Samantha Bond had some good fun playing her in Pierce Brosnan's four outings.

British actress Naomie Harris has reportedly been lined up for an iconic role in the upcoming James Bond movie as a revamped Miss Moneypenny.
Last month, it emerged the 28 Days Later star had held talks with bosses of the franchise, sparking speculation she will be the superspy's love interest in the next Daniel Craig movie.
It has now been claimed producers are keen to bring back M's flirtatious secretary - and Harris is in the running for the role, according to Britain's Daily Mail newspaper.
Miss Moneypenny became a regular character in the Bond films but has not appeared onscreen since 2002's Die Another Day, in which she was played by Samantha Bond. She has previously been portrayed by actresses including Lois Maxwell and Caroline Bliss.

Despite Daniel Craig successfully taking over the role of James Bond in Casino Royale (2006), Eon Productions has now put the immortal series on a backburner because of a potential take-over of MGM. Whether another Bond film will be produced under the partnership remains to be seen, and even if the series kick-starts once more, there’s no guarantee that Craig will return as the world’s most famous secret agent.
The past 40 years has seen a number of actors who have contributed to more than one film. So with this imposed hiatus, it's worth taking a look at those performers who have been in the most 007 movies.
Making her debut in the first 007 outing Dr No (1962), the durable Canadian actress Lois Maxwell made 14 appearances as Secretary Jane Moneypenny, forever flirting with 007 when he returns home from another world-saving assignment.

He’s certainly the most metallic of all past Bond characters and according to a new survey he’s also the most popular. Stand up and take a bow Jaws, as played by Richard Kiel. The hulking henchman (Kiel stands a whopping 7-foot, 6-inches tall!) stars in both The Spy Who Loved Me and Moonraker and earned such a loyal fan following in these two outings that he scored 30 per cent of votes in the poll conducted by HMV.com and social networking site GetCloser.com to celebrate the DVD release of 007’s 22nd film, Quantum of Solace. Naturally the poll omitted the big guy himself, but it’s interesting to see which characters left a mark on the long-running film franchise. Click over to see who Jaws beat…
