British actor Sir Roger Moore has died at the age of 89. Moore passed away in Switzerland after what a statement posted on the actor’s official media account said was a “short but brave battle with cancer.” Moore was the third actor to play British secret agent James Bond, in seven feature films released between 1973 and 1985.
The passing of Sir Roger Moore was met with great sadness Tuesday as stars from across generations took to social media to express their condolences.
