British born-American-based director Mick Jackson (4. 10. 1943) must be a fine man. When we wrote him after 11 years and asked him for autograph and request for interview, he replied with long personal letter and gave us happily his e-mail. We sent questions and he replied with 12 pages which is unheard of these days from film department people.

Robert De Niro was born on 17. 8. 1943 in New York. His parents who were painters, got divorced when he was only two years old. He became famous for meticulous preparation for his film characters to who he later managed to integrate. He protects his privacy, doesn´t talk about his childhood and doesn´t give interviews, so only way how to learn something about him and write a tribute article-which he deserves-is to use information from his biography written by John Parker. We wish him a HAPPY 80. BIRTHDAY.

English actor Roger Moore was born in London on 14.10.1927. Since early childhood he showed artistic skill and at the age of 15 thanks to his father he was employed as a drawer by company making films in Soho. Slowly he entered the world of theatre and film far from meteoric rise, but slow, steady and hard work. In Czechoslovakia we probably could have seen him firstly in TV series Ivanhoe (1957) which was showed on out TV in early 70´s.Although he made many other films such as The Wild Geese, Escape from Athens, Cannonball Race, The Man Who Haunted Himself he is and always will be mostly remembered for playing James Bond who he played 7x. Since we liked him the most out of all 007´s, we wanted to commemorate him to readers of www.unitedfilm.cz in a profile where he would disclose something from the beginning of his career and where he would make close- up into the life of film star on top. Sadly, since he died, we had no option but to rely on his wonderful, funny and honest autobiography My Word is My Bond. After reading it, it is obvious he was a fair, charismatic and honest man who had much needed luck in his life, without which the actor can´t crack it.
