LOS ANGELES: Roger Moore, the handsome English actor who appeared in seven films as James Bond and as Simon Templar on "The Saint" TV series, has died in Switzerland after a short battle with cancer. He was 89.

Moore appeared in more official Bond pics than his friend Sean Connery over a longer period of time, and while Connery's fans were fiercely loyal, polls showed that many others favored Moore's lighter, more humorous take on 007.
