Actor Sean Connery, the big screen’s first and most revered James Bond, has died, his family said Saturday. He was 90 years old.
Connery died peacefully in his sleep in the Bahamas, having been “unwell for some time,” his son told the BBC.
Best known for his seven turns as Bond, beginning with 1962’s “Dr. No,” the Scottish-born Connery freed himself from agent 007’s debonair typecast to play myriad other roles across a decades-long career filled with accolades, including an Oscar, two BAFTA awards and being named People magazine’s “Sexiest Man of the Century” in 1999.

Was not a big fan of the Roger Moore era, it become too dependent on gadgets and cartoonish.

Doubtless there will be a Bond marathon on streaming. All with Connery, of course.
Unless Bezos decides to pass since it doesn't coincide with his virtue signaling support of blax.

His life was definitely shaken, not stirred. Not a huge Bond fan but had great respect for his acting skills. RIP Sean.

He had some very extreme movies as well.
The Hill (1965) Very difficult movie to watch, of a WWII prison camp in North Africa. Torturous sadism.
A Fine Madness (1966) A hyper-sexual psychopathic poetic genius is sent to a madhouse to treat his violent outbursts and writers block. Seduces every female. Kind of a comedy.
The Molly Maguires (1970) About a coal miner revolt in 1876.
The Anderson Tapes (1971) Ex-con versus a surveillance society.
The Wind and the Lion (1975) Stellar cast, directed by John Milius, who later did Conan the Barbarian. Arabs vs. turn of the Century imperial powers.
The Man Who Would Be King (1975) Another great one, directed by John Huston.
The list goes on and on.
