This cream-colored coat lined with a green windowpane pattern was first seen in the 1978 film Death on the Nile, where Lois Chiles wore it as Linnet Ridgeway. Interestingly, the jacket was used again in the 2004 production of Death on the Nile from the ninth season of Poirot. It was spotted on Emma Griffiths Malin as Jacqueline De Bellefort, who wore it with a matching sweater. Was the sweater made for the original Death on the Nile and never utilized? Was it made for the 2004 production and matched as closely as possible? If anyone has any further details on this mystery, do let us know.
A looming Richard Kiel is about to interrupt a cozy moment between Lois Chiles and Roger Moore on August 1979 cover of People magazine just to tell them about Moonraker.
At the end of The Spy Who Loved Me, after the credits, it said that "James Bond will return in For Your Eyes Only". When Star Wars: A New Hope became a blockbuster, EON productions switched gears and on June 29, 1979, Moonraker was released in theaters. EON invested more money than any of their previous Bond adventures by a significant amount. The movie had the bad guy's laire being a space station, the abduction of space shuttles (something still in the testing stages during preduction), and the climatic battle being fought in open space with lasers. It also marked Bernard Lee's last appearance as M. It was also noteworthy for being one of the few times where the Henchman (in this case Jaws) appeared in more than one movie. ("Moonraker" flm, event)
