I knew good old Roger Dodger wasn't a true brunette, but after looking through my 007 soundtracks I found this image that might just give Daniel Craig a little relief. Moore was blonde too just look at this photo from a trademark Bond moment in FYEO...

One screen shot where his hair looks light brown, makes him a blonde?...

I think Moore was more fair than blond but Craig's hair, when short, is dirty blond like Moore's. Here are some better pics of Moore, the lightest haired 007 until Craig:

What is up with all this infatuation and insistence to claim that Roger Moore was blonde? He was NEVER blonde--certainly not during the 007 films! He has brown to light-brown hair--maybe brown with a reddish tint in A View To A Kill--that's it. All these clips that claim to show his hair is blonde is only sunlight or lighting angles that turn his hair to an even lighter brown than it is.

My hair color, for one, is brown and it lightens up in the summer. Throughout my life people have occasionally asked me if I have dyed my hair because it appears lighter at certain times, but I haven't. Despite that, at no time has it ever looked blonde. Light-brown does not equal blonde or even dirty blonde. Daniel Craig is the first blonde actor to be named James Bond. Will he be the first to play a blonde Bond? Who knows? But Roger Moore certainly never did.

Different people have different ideas in regards to what constitutes blonde-ness. There is no rigid standard.

One thing to remember is that by the 80's, Moore's hair color was really not in question. Audiences had already accepted him as Bond, and weren't likely to care if his hair appeared light or dark onscreen.

Why are we still debating about hair color?

Quite; particularly as it was more a case of hair today, gone tomorrow during the Connery era...

What - you mean you've never heard of the ISO Blond standard!?
