LOIS MAXWELL: Born Lois Hooker in Ontario, Canada, in 1927, she began her acting on radio before moving to Britain with the Entertainment Corps of the Canadian army at the age of 15,
UPDATE: I was fascinated to learn (try rolling that off your tongue in conversation see if you get any strange looks) that Lois Maxwell was born in Canada, had appeared in more Bond films than Moore or Connery, her fave film was On Her Majestys Secret Service and was disappointed she was not given the role of 'M' to play.
Personally I think this would have provided too much confusion for mainstay viewers who have too memories of her onscreen as the long suffering Ms. Moneypenny.
Oh well as much as she will be missed and revered and remembered, it may be safe and ok to say she has now positively gone on to bigger and better things. Gone but not forgotten.

Although given a very short shelf life in todays frenzied pop driven atmopshere of constantly changing and fickle tastes, it would set the pace and maintain the momentum of a trend that would last a decade.
Behold, the long awaited re-appearance of Jane Fonda inspired chic and cool, not seen since the days of Barbarella, sexy boots and sexy flared pants (who says you cant wear white in September-er, lol?) make the perfectly plain, flat and wholesome girl nexy door into a blonde bombshell..
..take care, Flaggers.

Coldharvest you are banned from posting and making comments on this blog.
accident proneSome idiot who logged in as 'coldharvest' actually posted a comment to one of the staler posts of this stupid blog, because to me this blogging thing is the equivalent of putting stickers and posters and reminders on the inside of ones own locker at high school.
But the reason I call him an idiot is because not only did I delete his childish entry immediately, but it was also a comment on a post long lost forgotten and blown over with winds and sands of change on something that was very verty personal to me (and yet had absolutely noting to do with him personally, period.)
so it just left me wondering, wtf is anybody doing going over this stupid kiss-ass blog for in the first place>? Esp. with entries that are paved over already with things that have happened?
coldharvest....you remind me of one of those goofy wrestlers flexxing his muscles in the mirror and making grunting noises...someone needs to simply grab you by the back of your crotch and pull: hard.

What do you know? I have a Rogers cell phone, ordered Rogers home phone and Rogers/Yahoo Hi Speed Internet, rent movies on DVD from Rogers Video Store and occasionally read Macleans (havent read Chatelaine though lately) and now I can pay at least part of my bill to the corporate media giant.
Hand in hand with this deal is DOLLARS $$$$ for more premium at par home spun cottage industry CANADIAN entertainment !
One dose not have to reach back that much further in recent memory to recall oodles of goodie noodles of great Canadian shows and I dont mean just Bob and Doug McKenzie
I mean shows like Due South, North of 60, Traders, ENG just to name a few. Sure, Da Vincincis Inquest is seen widely around the world and now with Intelligence in its 2nd season, I wonder if one Chris Haddock per country is our creative output limit or something.
My question beyond that is: how do our own corporate values and ethics differ from our neighbors to the South?
I look forward to this bolstering of our national identity thanks to cash injections that will cotton Candian creativity into a firm tapestry and strengthen our fabric.
For now, my cheap sunglasses are defintely on order.
Thanks for visiting today!

Goodbye Miss Moneypenny. Mostly remembered on-line at least for uttering to Flemings fictional hero James Bond on screen: "And James..(pause for emphasis).....come back alive"
accident proneThe company is being renamed Alliance Films under a new management team, headed by Canadian distribution impresario Victor Loewy, who co-founded the original Alliance Entertainment with Robert Lantos in the early 1980s.
“It’s absolutely a coming home; it’s very joyful,” Loewy said Monday. “It’s gratifying to be back.”
Former Miramax executive Charles Layton has been appointed prexy; Xavier Marchand, former managing director of MPD’s British division, Momentum Pictures and Spanish sister Aurum, is prexy of the international division.
Marchand was suspended from MPD in January “without cause,” according to Loewy, who said that Marchand continued to run the company from home, “even though he wasn’t supposed to do it. There was a big leadership vacuum in the interim period, so he did it anyway.”
Loewy himself has been intimately tied with the company from day one. His Alliance Entertainment became the largest production and independent distribution company in Canada until its sale in 1998 to rival Atlantis Communications, forming Alliance Atlantis Communications.
Lantos moved on while Loewy remained to head the distribution division, which was renamed Motion Picture Distribution. “It was a terrible name,” says Loewy.
Loewy has had his ups and downs with his former employers, most recently quitting 14 months ago.
But the tiff put in jeopardy an unknown number of MPD’s lucrative output deals, which include New Line, Miramax, Focus and the Weinstein Co., so Loewy was rehired as a consultant.
“I’m really glad that everything is behind us and we finally have a team in place, and we’re ready to start and ready to prove ourselves once again,” he said.
There’s still some housecleaning to be done. Alliance Atlantis Communications’ $2.3 billion sale to CanWest Global Communications and Goldman Sachs closed in August, and the company was broken up, with Goldman Sachs and Canadian partner EdgeStone Capital Partners, a private equity firm, taking on the distribution division.
That part of the transaction has yet to receive the greenlight from Heritage Canada, since Canadian distributors have to be controlled by Canadians.
Although it is unclear how much of the equity is held by Goldman Sachs and how much by EdgeStone, EdgeStone has the controlling interest in the company, Loewy said, including the majority of seats on the board and voting control.
That decision notwithstanding, Alliance Films is already on a shopping spree. The company is actively looking to acquire distributors to add to its stable, primarily in Germany and Scandinavia for now, but in other European countries later as well, he said.
In addition, Loewy and his colleagues are busy at the Toronto Intl. Film Festival, which runs until Saturday.
They are working to sign output deals with independent U.S. production companies as well as picking up individual films from Canadian producers for their Canadian operations and from Europeans for Momentum and Aurum.
Alliance Films is Canada’s largest independent distributor with a market share of between 15% and 23%, but Loewy must now compete with two of his former colleagues and closest protégés: Lantos, who recently hung out distribution shingle Maximum Films; and Patrice Theroux, who recently set up a distribution division for Toronto-based Entertainment One following its acquisition of Montreal-based Seville Pictures, a mid-sized distribution company.
