“The name’s Bond… James Bond.”
Farewell to Sir Sean Connery (1930 – 2020), who has passed at the age of 90. Knighted in 2000 and an Oscar winner in 1988 for his role as Jimmy Malone in The Untouchables, Connery had a long and successful career which included leading roles in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, Highlander, The Hunt for Red October and The Rock. But it’s as 007 as the proud Scot will always be best remembered, being the first, and to many the definitive, James Bond.

great actor… plus, very hot guy 🙂 will be remembered, forever and ever 💕
Yeah, he really was Bond. A lot of charm on and off screen.
True ☀️💜
I am so sad to hear that he has passed away. He will always remain for me THE and only James Bond.
A lot of people feel that way. Interesting to see the names that were listed as early frontrunners for the role. None would have been as good as Connery.
The first and greatest Bond, James Bond full stop.
Yeah he always comes top in polls. Which was your favourite Bond film?
Since I didn’t grow up with any Bond film, I’m mostly impartial. So I’d consider Goldfinger to be my personal favorite.
That’s a very solid choice. Certainly one of the best ones.
Godspeed 007…
Indeed. He’ll be sure to find the best golf courses too.
Adore his work. Lovely piece, thank you!
He certainly did a nice range of films and worked with some of the very best around. No one else like him.
Agree!
Wonderful tribute to an icon
Thanks (sips Martini. Shaken, not stirred)
