Sean Connery sued by downstairs neighbour--"a rude, foul-mouthed, fat old man"
CTV/Associated Press ^ | 2/23/2005

A downstairs neighbor of debonaire James Bond actor Sean Connery has filed a $30 million US lawsuit alleging he's a bully who's trying to force the family out of the townhouse they share.

"Notwithstanding the cinematic James Bond image of consummate finesse, the defendant Connery, in true Dr. Jekyll-Mr. Hyde fashion, acts the part in real life of a bully who ignores norms of neighborliness and decency," the court papers say.

Dr. Burton Sultan, an ophthalmologist, lives with his wife and daughters on the lower four floors of a six-story Tudor townhouse, built in 1869, on Manhattan's East Side. Connery and his wife live on the top two floors.

Trebek: We would have accepted 'bow wow' or 'ruff'

Connery: Ohhh, ruff, just the way your mother likes it.

Dr. Burton Sultan picked a bad time to rely on government housing.

30 million from an old man actor who is wealthy? I'm sure the judges will say of course, we should throw thirty million at you.
If you were THAT offended, you just could move and make better than asking price for your home with Sean Connery upstairs. Probably that alone might raise the price 25% and put you in a better neighborhood.

Alex Trebek: (shakes head) Let's just go with Foreign Flicks for $800. (Connery buzzes in.)

Sean Connery: Ursula Andress.

Alex Trebek: What?

Sean Connery: Ursula Andress, Catherine Deneuve, and Charo, twice.

"I'll take Swords for $200, Alex."

And if I remember that skit correctly, on Final Jeopardy he has written down "swords"

I fell out of the chair.

Wiping away tears of laughter reading this thread...

But I will have to mention that my late aunt and uncle lived next door to Connery in Century City (Los Angeles) for many years, when he was doing Bond, and he was a very good neighbor or we would have heard.
