Pamela Salem, who portrayed Miss Moneypenny in Never Say Never Again opposite Sean Connery in his final turn as James Bond, has died. She was 80.
Salem died Wednesday in Surfside, Florida, according to Big Finish Productions, for whom she participated in several audio productions.
“Whenever there was a Big Finish recording for her, she’d fly in from Miami on her own steam, without fuss or fanfare, and appear at the studio armed with the warmest smiles, the biggest hugs and often presents,” producer David Richardson said in a statement.
For the BBC’s Doctor Who, Salem played the sandminer pilot Lish Toos on 1977’s “The Robots of Death” and Professor Rachel Jensen on 1988’s “Remembrance of the Daleks.” She reprised both roles for Big Finish in the audio drama series The Robots and radio spinoff series Counter Measures.

What was your favorite scene or quote?
Christine: I'm going with Sam getting really emotional when he saw the Colt. It was like he connected a dozen dots in seconds, and I really felt for him.

And because I love any and all mentions of Bobby, Sam passing on Bobby's recipe for the bullets to Mick got me slightly choked up as well, especially...

Some acting careers are made by a single role. Think Brando’s Stanley Kowalski in A Streetcar Named Desire (1951), Robert DeNiro’s Johnny Boy in Mean Streets (1973), Leonardo DiCaprio’s Jack in the box office behemoth Titanic (1997).
A similar connection can happen on a more personal basis. You watch a movie and an actor — for whatever magical, alchemical reason – clicks with you. You suddenly remember the other times you’ve seen him or her, you want to know more about what they’ve done, what they’re going to do. From that moment, their name in the credits means something to you.
And in that great, romantic way Hollywood dream-making works, they may not even be stars; never were, never will be. But they are somebody you respond to, somebody’s who work touches you.
For me, Charles Durning was one of those actors. At the news of his passing on Christmas Eve,...

The BBC has postponed airing Room At The Top at the last minute due to a "contractual issue". Maxine Peake and Matthew McNulty star in the latest two-part adaptation of the 1950s novel about the rise of amorous Joe Lampton, who is willing to do anything to get to the top. According to the Daily Mail, the last-minute withdrawal of the show was down to a legal challenge. The John Braine-penned story was previously turned into a film in 1957, while Thames produced spinoff comedy series Man At The Top in the 1970s. Braine's family and widow approved the BBC adaptation, but (more)...
