Roger Moore was born on October 14th, 1927 in Stockwell, London with the birth name Roger George Moore to parents, George Alfred Moore and Lillian Pope.  He was an only child and studied at Battersea Grammar School, however during World War II, he was sent to Holsworthy, Devon and went on to study at Challoner's Grammar School.  He began his College education at the University of Durham, however he never earned his degree.  Originally, he had goals of pursuing a career as an artist but that soon changed after working as an extra on a number of films in the 40's.
 
Before becoming involved in the entertainment industry, Moore signed up for the National Service and was an officer followed by earning the title of Captain.  He also was given a chance to study acting at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art.  His tuition was covered by director, Brian Desmond Hurst who also cast Moore as an extra in the film, "Trottie True" and also at age seventeen he was appearing as an extra in the film, "Caesar and Cleopatra" (1945).

Throughout his lifetime he has married a total of four times.  His first wife was Doorn Van Steyn from 1946 through 1953.  He then married, Dorothy Squires in 1953 and they were together through 1968.  His third time to marry was on April 11th, 1968 to Luisa Mattioli and after having three children this marriage also ended in divorce in 1996.  He is currently married to his fourth wife, Christina 'Kiki' Tholstrup whom he wed in 2002.
