Miss Moneypenny - Lois Maxwell

The loyal, workaholic secretary to M would have liked to combine business with pleasure by seducing 007. The playful and flirtatious banter between the couple would have become a staple of the series. Their relationship is defined in 'Dr. No': Moneypenny makes herself available and Bond proves to be evasive. Lois Maxwell remains the definitive Moneypenny in the minds of fans, probably because she would play the role in each Bond movie up to and including 'A View To A Kill' (1985). Maxwell has theorized that Moneypenny and Bond spent one romantic weekend together but were afraid to continue the relationship because of the effect it would have on their respective careers. None of this is spelled out in the films, however, although in 'GoldenEye' (1995) a more liberated Moneypenny implies that the couple never became lovers.
