Roger Moore‘s life off-screen was as colorful as his danger-filled adventures as James Bond.
The legendary actor died at the age of 89 on Tuesday after decades of memorable roles on-screen — but his private life was just as full. The actor had his share of torrid romances in his younger days before finding happiness with his fourth wife, Kiki Tholstrup, and settling into a life of charity and luxury in Switzerland.
Though the actor enjoyed decades of success thanks to his early television work and, eventually, his celebrated turn as 007, his later years were quieter as he dedicated himself to charity.

Sir Roger Moore admits that both his first two marriages were tumultuous
He told Piers Morgan: "She would scratch me. My mother was always petrified when I went home to see that I had more scars."
Speaking on Morgan's Life Stories show, which is broadcast on Friday, Sir Roger said Van Steyn once even attacked a doctor who was treating him.
He said: "I cut my hand open once and we went round to the local Gp and she said to him 'Aren't you going to do anything?' and punched him.
"Which made a change, because normally she punched me."

Roger Moore's Daughter Wins Bond Girl Role
The daughter of former 007 Roger Moore has won a role in the latest James Bond film Die Another Day. Deborah Moore, 38, has a cameo as an air hostess in the 20th Bond film, which will be released later this year. Her character meets the British secret agent, played by Pierce Brosnan, but fails to fall for his legendary charms. Roger Moore played Bond seven times between 1973 and 1985 and Deborah has also had her fair share of acting roles. She had her first role in 1971 in The Persuaders alongside her dad and later appeared in the TV series Merlin with Jason Connery, son of another Bond, Sean. Deborah is Roger's daughter from his third marriage to Luisa Mattioli, which ended in 1996 after 27 years.
