Raise a Pint to Mrs Moneypenny, she would have wanted that.

What would we all do without her...

Nobody does Moneypenny better. God bless you and Godspeed, Lois.

RIP, dear Lois. You will always be our 'Penny.

[MattofSteel]

My condolences to her family. I knew Lois was Canadian, I had no idea she was born in Kitchener. I live in Waterloo (the NORTH half of Kitchener for those unaware, one big city), so that's interesting. It's a very iconic loss for the Bond community.

Very sad news, but she'll live on forever through her work in film.

The original and the best.

Thank You Miss Moneypenny.

Condolences to Lois Maxwell's family and friends.

Very sad new indeed. My heart goes out to her friends and family.

Many men have been Bond. Although three (4 counting NSNA) women have portrayed Moneypenny, I'm sure everyone will agree that there is only 1 Miss Moneypenny.

What a very sad day! :`(

She was one of the first women I fell in love with. May she rest in peace now. She won't be forgotten. :`(

Very sad news She was a true legend.

RIP

I'm glad Moneypenny wasn't in Casino Royale, and I hope the trend continues. Anyone other than Maxwell has been, and will be, only a disappointment. Her two replacements took Lois' character to two opposite extremes and the character suffered because of it. Lois Maxwell took a fringe Fleming character and made her seem like she had always been there.

Requiescat in pace.

This is awful to hear, soon after watching the James Bond Tribute on the Movie Awards, and such a shock to hear.

An invincible icon on screen and a wonderful woman in the flesh, she will be missed deeply but loved and remembered forever.


RIP Miss Moneypenny

Oh....Moneypenny...

What will we do without you?

Tears are actually falling on my keyboard right now.

She will always be the "gold standard" by which all Moneypenny's are measured.

RIP Lois.

We will miss you, Lois. Be at peace.

[Wade]

"Sleep well, my dear."

We'll miss you, Lois.

[DLibrasnow]

Very sad news. My thoughts are with her family and friends. She was by far the best Miss Moneypenny and she will be missed. The Bond universe has lost an icon.

[Double-Oh-Zero]

Always tragic to lose a member of the Bond family, especially one who's so prominent. As stated in the interview with Roger Moore, she was THE Moneypenny; no one could ever replace her.

RIP, Lois. You will be missed.

[coco1997]

Oh, man, this is so sad. Now the original M, Q, and Moneypenny are all gone...

R.I.P. Miss Maxwell. Nobody did it better.

[Kilroy6644]

How sad. Very few actors so completely own their roles like she did.

[doubler83]

RIP, Lois.

[Agent Ostlund]

R.I.P Lois.

[deth]

typecast or not, she will be forever remembered in cinematic history as one of the key elements of the most successful franchise ever.

R.I.P Lois

Lois Maxwell IS Moneypenny Forever. She has proven not to be difficult to replace....rather, impossible to replace.

Listening to Roger's tribute to her...you can feel pounds of flesh being cut from him. Roger was obviously having difficulty dealing with Lois' death.

I understand that she had cancer. I don't know if that was the cause of death. Regardless, it brings to mind something that Roger's ... Bond said when he discovered Vijay dead in Octopussy: "No more pain...No more pain."

RIP Lois Maxwell.

[Johnboy007]

She is definitely one of the the most irreplaceable figures in Bond lore. There will never truly be another like her.

[Double-0-Seven]

Very sad and shocking news.

She was the best Moneypenny, and had amazing chemistry with the three Bond's she starred with.

RIP Lois, my condolences to her family and friends.
