Miss Moneypenny in NEVER SAY NEVER AGAIN 1983
The first time I met this lovely and very friendly woman was during the Bond Girls Are Forever event organised by the Bondstars team at Pinewood Studios in July 2006.
Miss Salem said that it was
Sean Connery who suggested her for the role of Moneypenny in
Never Say Never Again since they had previously worked together on the 1978 film
The Great Train Robbery.
She kindly pointed out the importance of Bond fans and said that she really respects them, and was impressed by the passion and dedication everyone put in. Very kind words which instantaneously created a mutual respect.
Thank you Pamela, it was very nice to meet you.
