Lois Ruth Maxwell (born Lois Ruth Hooker; 14 February 1927 – 29 September 2007) was a Canadian actress, best known for her portrayal of Miss Moneypenny in all the first fourteen Eon-produced "James Bond" films (1962–1985). She was the first actress to play the part. The films in which she played Miss Moneypenny were "Dr. No" (1962), "From Russia with Love" (1963), "Goldfinger" (1964), "Thunderball" (1965), "You Only Live Twice" (1967), "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" (1969), "Diamonds Are Forever" (1971), "Live and Let Die" (1973), "The Man with the Golden Gun" (1974), "The Spy Who Loved Me" (1977), "Moonraker" (1979), "For Your Eyes Only" (1981), "Octopussy" (1983), and "A View to a Kill" (1985). She did not appear in the 1967 adaptations of "Casino Royale", nor in the 1983 remake of "Thunderball", "Never Say Never Again", as the production was not Eon's, though she did, as a similar character, in the spoof "O.K. Connery".
