They both had nice long lives. I confess I don't know too much about Dina Merrill so I looked her up and it sounds like she was an interesting woman.
As a kid, I loved Roger Moore in the James Bond movies. I think most boys wanted to be James Bond or The Saint. 
Believe it or not, I watched one of his movies the other evening. It brought back fun memories for me of watching it when I was young.
Here's a nice article about him. It sounds like he was a nice person.
Remembering Roger Moore, the Man Who Saved James Bond
By Isaac Chotiner
Sir Roger Moore, who played James Bond for a dozen years in the 1970s and ’80s and proved that the series could thrive without Sean Connery, died Tuesday at the age of 89 ....
As someone who grew up obsessed with all things Bond, I made it my mission to one day interview both Moore and Connery. The latter is retired and no longer gives interviews; even before retiring, he was always prickly, especially when asked about the character with whom he will be forever identified. As for Moore, I tracked him down several years ago; we talked over the phone for twenty-five minutes or so. It might be the only time in my career that my recording of a conversation failed; I attribute it to anxiety about talking with a boyhood hero.
I did my best to think up some questions about Bond he had never been asked, and failed miserably. I could tell that he knew the answers to all my questions by heart, and yet he was nothing but patient and generous, recounting with seeming sincerity and energy stories I’d already read or heard. Several times he paused and took note of how lucky he had been: good health, nice kids, interesting women. I mentioned that Connery still seemed bitter about his Bond experience. Moore, who had a long friendship with Connery, didn’t exactly scold him but made clear that he found that attitude strange. Yes, Moore would always be identified with James Bond, and there were annoying paparazzi to deal with, and it could be tiresome always being asked to order a martini. And yet, he went on, how lucky have I been? I got to play the most famous character in film history, make lots of money doing it, and travel around the world in the prime of my life. Who has time to complain? I always thought this was an admirable answer, and all the more so from someone who showed real generosity in his charitable work.

It's a nice remembrance.

I liked Animal House (of course, I was just a kid). 
It was particularly funny in the closing credits when they showed the most notorious member of the group as a Senator.

RIP Martin Landau. I was an extra in a Canadian film that he worked on in the 1980s. I'm glad I had that opportunity to meet him.

I remember him and his ex-wife Barbara Bain from Mission Impossible years ago. Lovely couple on the show.
