LOS ANGELES -- The star of "Live and Let Die" will now have everlasting life as a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Roger Moore received his permanent spot on Hollywood Boulevard on Thursday surrounded by family and friends.

Moore made seven Bond films, starting with "Live and Let Die" in 1973 and ending 12 years later with "A View to a Kill." He's one of only six actors to play the role in the legendary film series. The prestigious group also includes Sean Connery, George Lazenby, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan and most recently, Daniel Craig.

The British actor, who turns 80 on Sunday, lamented the number of women he kissed on-screen while playing creator Ian Fleming's leading man.

"Sadly, I had to retire from the Bond films," Moore said. "The girls were getting younger or I was just getting too old."

Moore's other Bond films include "The Man With the Golden Gun," "The Spy Who Loved Me," "Moonraker," "Octopussy" and "For Your Eyes Only."
