Check out THIS ARTICLE by Samantha Weinberg in the Times. Very good article about Miss Moneypenny (the best I've ever read). And, lookie, she even quoted little old me. :P :)

Yes, I love Sherlock Holmes! I have a minor Holmes collection. In fact, Holmes was my first great obsessive interest (even before Houdini and Bond).

I am an Anglophile. I've always felt a powerful connection to England. My grandfather grew up in London. He's says he was a "street urchin" and use to tell me stories about how he and his friends would play around the Docklands (one of his friends actually drowned). I'd love to one day have a second home in London.

I just got my hard copy of this. It's a very nicely laid out article in The Times magazine, with some pics of Samanatha posing as Miss Moneypenny (I didn't realize that pic online was of her).

I gotta say, she makes a pretty fetching Moneypenny. :)

There's also a similar article in the December Conde Naste Traveller magazine where Sam recreates Moneypenny's journey to Moscow from Diaries II.
