Brief biography
Sir Roger Moore is perhaps best known for playing James Bond and The Saint in the internationally successful film and TV shows. One of Britain’s most famous actors, he was knighted by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II in 2003.
Roger was introduced to UNICEF in 1991 by the late Audrey Hepburn, after she asked him to take part in an event and he heard her speak so passionately about UNICEF’s work. Since then, Roger has worked tirelessly on behalf of the organisation worldwide. Roger and his wife, Lady Kristina Moore have travelled all over the world to visit UNICEF projects and to bring the world’s attention to the millions of children who need our help.

Sir Roger Moore KBE says:
“Once you have seen a child that is unnecessarily dying, once you’ve seen a child who is blind because of a lack of Vitamin A, or with arms as thick as your finger, you cannot help but be moved, and speak with the same passion that hooked me.”
