You'll be missed.

I just heard... what a tragedy!

[DarkJedi]

Definitely missed. I usually don't cover Hollywood deaths at the main site but I had to put up the AP news for this one.

She played the part of Jane Moneypenny with grace and style.

[Kara Milovy]

Well, DarkJedi, saying that Maxwell played "Jane Moneypenny" is a bit more retconning than I'm comfortable with, but we agree that she had grace and style, both on-screen and in real life. I am saddened.

[DarkJedi]

Sorry, not too familiar with the Bond universe. Her name isn't Jane? Or is there something else here.

[DarkJedi]

Oh, I get it, her credits say Miss Moneypenny in the films.

[Kara Milovy]

The name "Jane" was invented for the recent series of books called "The Moneypenny Diaries." Previously, she spent 40 years without a first name, although Bond once called her "Penny."

Very sad news. Maxwell had a twinkle in her eye, yet a sadness in her heart that made Moneypenny such an endearing character. I could never think of any of the others as Moneypenny--Lois Maxwell was the one and only Moneypenny for me.
