You won't find it in Moore's autobiography: One Lucky Bastard.
That book is a delightful read - with great humor. Here are two direct quotes from his book:
1. Jack the Ripper, was shot at Shepperton Studios on a “closed set”—and with good reason. The scene involved a theater’s backstage dressing room, and all the young actresses were in there busy putting on their make-up, dressed only in petticoats and bras, while preparing for curtain up. That was considered lurid enough for the UK censors of the 1950s, but when the scene was in the bag the assistant director, matter-of-factly, called, “OK, cut! Clothes off for the continental version now!”
Their petticoats and bras were swiftly dispensed with and the same scene was shot again—only with more in it, if you follow me. One of these such scenes was filmed on a Friday afternoon very near to the 4 p.m. wrap time, but all the electricians and stage hands willingly offered to stay on to help oversee the “continental” version being filmed—and no overtime was requested!
2. Prior to the lunch break each day, one of the carpenters or electricians would usually
go down to the canteen to get a copy of the typed menu for the day and bring it back to
the set for the crew to place their orders. On one particular day, an electrician produced
the menu, which offered: fried Spam and chips, cold Spam and salad, Rissoles, and a
couple of other items . . . only the capital “R” on the old typewriter wasn’t working
correctly and instead printed as a “P.”
“OK, then,” said the spark to the formidable canteen manageress. “We’ll have three
Spam and chips, four Pissoles and chips . . . ”
“What did you say?” snapped the dinner lady.
“Four Pissholes . . . ”
“That is an R! An R—did you hear me?” she screamed.
“Oh, sorry,” replied our trusty spark and, without missing a beat, continued, “We’ll
have three Spam and chips and four R-soles and chips, please!”
I had never read that story about Roger Moore.
That is why you need to read my muses.

Liked the title.
Thanks.
Here is an example of what actuaries seem to get attention for.
*Anybody* with data can do exactly the same. Data scientists will replace actuaries, investment analysts and a few other professionals.
