Sean Connery, Who Embodied James Bond and More, Dies at 90

Sean Connery, Who Embodied James Bond and More, Dies at 90 | New York Times

Getting harder and harder to read the papers...

Sad news! He will be missed...

Shaken not stirred.

I learnt this first on this site.

An alternative obituary https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-13087132

I think my favourite Connery film is "The Man Who Would Be King" where he stars with Michael Caine.

Connery was a milkman when he was young and there’s a running joke in Edinburgh that if he actually delivered milk to everyone who later eventually claimed they were on his route, it’d have been mostly sour cream by the end of his run.

The New Yorker has a good piece on his film career.

I've always been a fan, I mean- he WAS Bond, James Bond.

The Hill is a gem of a movie, and really liked Robin and Marian from the 70s.

Whatever makes a movie star, he certainly had "it" in spades.

I will add that I watched "The Rock" after reading this piece.
I did get some laugh out loud moments.
Michael Bay?
