`Miss Moneypenny' made 14 Bond films

When she left Toronto in 1943, she was just plain Lois Hooker, off to join the Canadian army. When she finally returned to her native Toronto 19 years later, she was Lois Maxwell, film star of James Bond movies, deserving a City Hall reception from mayor William Dennison.

Lois Maxwell, who died Saturday in Perth, Australia, from cancer, once predicted her obituary would start with the line "Miss Moneypenny Dead."
