About this audiobook

In a career that spans over seven decades, Roger Moore has been at the very heart of Hollywood. Of course, he's an actor who has starred in films that have made him famous the world over; but he is also a tremendous prankster, joker, and raconteur. Despite the fact that he is widely known as one of the nicest guys in the business, on and off the screen he has always been up for some fun.


In this fabulous collection of true stories from his stellar career, Moore lifts the lid on the movie business, from Hollywood to Pinewood. One Lucky Bastard features outrageous tales from his own life and career, as well as those told to him by a host of stars and filmmakers, including Tony Curtis, Sean Connery, Frank Sinatra, Gregory Peck, Peter Sellers, and many more.

    Roger Moore manages to right an biography autobiographically due to his tenure in the business and connections with many influential people within the same. The book is full of British charm and wit as well as many a turn of phrase. It is entertaining for those inclined to the history of international film and back lot gossip. All is wrapped in a charming narrative but overall the book lacks much cohesion or purpose. Moore's other books far exceed this as do his deeds off record so it does tend to feel like an attempt to fulfill a book deal requiring a certain number of books. Fun but tedious given the party conversation style.

    If you're like me and enjoy reading about the behind the scenes stories of show business then you'll love Roger Moore's new book One Luck Bastard.From his early days as a model, to his work at Pinewood Studios, to his Hollywood days and as UNICEF's goodwill ambassador Mr. Moore delights the reader with tales about the people we've all read about and seen on the screen.

    A collection of anecdotal memoirs dealing with the friends & life of Sir Roger Moore. In the main, they're light, amusing & wry, with some genuine elements of comic genius. There's some more serious elements at times, & his final poem @ the end of the book, I found to be truly moving. There is an element of maudlin, & grief, & certainly a feeling of loss, as Sir Roger tells of his friends whom are now dead. Fun, light & at times laugh out loud funny worth a look.
