EVEN with his thick, trademark eyebrows hidden by a pair of shades there is no mistaking the superstar smile of Sir Sean Connery.
But as he celebrates his 90th birthday today the man who James Bond fans say has never been bettered as 007 will be celebrating away from the glare of the cameras.
Not seen out in public for three years Connery has become a virtual recluse, determined to have nothing to do with showbusiness or the fictional spy who made him both rich and famous.
He rarely leaves a gated community in the Bahamas where he lives in splendid retirement with his second wife Micheline Roquebrune.
Once able to command eight figure fees for a movie role, the actor has given strict instructions to his agent to turn down all offers.
Instead he prefers to spend his days playing golf, which seems to have given him the unrefined joy that he never truly found making films.

I saw that......thanks!
Might be.......I’ll see.......did that have Lawrence Fishburn in it or Denzel Washington?
Fishburn was in it.
Dr. No.
Note: If Ursula Andress was in front of me wearing
that bikini I'd be singing my lungs out for a chance
with her. And I can't sing a note -- but I'd try hard.
He is just a guy. He is not a secret agent.
I appreciate the fact he’s pretty much told the insane world to bugger off.
I just looked it up and the funny thing is we have the DVD of it.........dang! It’s tough to get old.......LOL

Not such a nice man in real life apparently....lousy husband too...constant cheater. So he became an actor playing other people for a living, but wants to be known for himself.... So, not too bright either.
But DARN! He was a MAGNIFICENT James Bond. Wish he could be proud of that.... The “Ginger” effect strikes again.
Happy birthday, Mr. Connery.
I love that movie.
Killer score too.
The movie was very good.
I still prefer the BW series. In no way would a treasury agent be involved in 90% of the what the TV show did.
Still it’s fun.
He wanted, “The Rapists for $200, Trebek”, to which “Alex” replied, “that’s Therapists, Mr. Connery.” :)
I read that neither Connery or Charlotte Rampling wanted anything to do with that movie. Problem was they were under contract to the studio and had no choice.
He couldn’t stand that woman he worked with in Medicine Man.
I believe that was Finding Forrester.
“Not only James Bond but was awesome as the “beat” cop in “The Untouchables””
I watched Outland last night. He was good in that.
The blonde lady (standing third from the left) looks like
she forgot to put her dentures in!
Always has his finger on the trigger. *rolling my eyes*
