RIP Sir Thomas Sean Connery (25 August 1930 – 31 October 2020). A Scottish actor and producer. He is best known as the first actor to portray the British secret agent James Bond in film, starring in the first five films, from Dr. No (1962) to You Only Live Twice (1967), plus Diamonds Are Forever (1971) and Never Say Never Again (1983). Connery began acting in smaller theatre and television productions until his breakout role as Bond. Although he did not like the off-screen attention the role gave him, the success brought film offers from famed directors such as Alfred Hitchcock, Sidney Lumet and John Huston for dramatic roles. Those films included Marnie (1964), The Hill (1965), Murder on the Orient Express (1974), The Man Who Would Be King (1975), A Bridge Too Far (1977), Highlander (1986), The Name of the Rose (1986), The Untouchables (1987), Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989), The Hunt for Red October (1990), Dragonheart (1996), The Rock (1996), and Finding Forrester (2000). Connery retired from acting in 2006, although he briefly came out to provide a voice-over role in 2012. His achievements in film were recognised with an Academy Award, two BAFTA Awards, and three Golden Globes, including the Cecil B. DeMille Award and a Henrietta Award. In 1987 he was made a Commander of the Order of Arts and Letters in France, and he received the US Kennedy Center Honors lifetime achievement award in 1999. Connery was knighted in the 2000 New Year Honours for services to film drama. Connery died in his sleep on 31 October 2020, at the age of 90, at his home in the Lyford Cay community of Nassau in the Bahamas. [Wikipedia] George L.
