Sepiatone Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Wow..... This wasn't even on the evening news! Sure, my favorite Bond too, plus starring in a few of my best liked post Bond movies. Rest In Peace Mr. Connery. Sepiatone 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Sepiatone Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Wow. Thanks. The OP had a link that didn't inform of when he died or from what(besides being 90). As I'm usually out of here and logged offline by noon each day, I just assumed it happened sometime between then and this morning. Sepiatone Link to post Share on other sites
Lori Ann Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 My dad told me this over the phone a couple hours ago. I was like "what?!" So sad. I told him that ruined the rest of my day. I don't have a favorite James Bond actor. I like them all. But "Goldfinger" is my favorite Bond movie. My dad has always been partial to Sean Connery though...not liking the other actors as much. But I like them. RIP Sean Connery. Bond, James Bond. Lori 2 Link to post Share on other sites

ElCid Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 My favorite Bond movie is "From Russia With Love." I believe I read somewhere that Connery considered it his favorite Bond movie as well. While he was the best Bond, he was far more than James Bond as he proved in so many roles. After seeing Dr. No, I read all the James Bond novels. 6 1 Link to post Share on other sites
TomJH Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 A fine actor, an incredibly charismatic screen presence and the definitive James Bond, Sean Connery will always have a special place in the hearts of millions of film fans. RIP, Sir Sean 10 Link to post Share on other sites

Emily41162 Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Awww,...I found out about his death a few hours ago on Fox News. A fascinating, dashing, and charming actor who will be greatly missed. 4 Link to post Share on other sites
lavenderblue19 Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Sad. So handsome and sexy and the best James Bond. He was always great in films. He starred in Finding Forrester when he was an older man, an excellent film and performance. It wasn't just those gorgeous looks. Sean Connery was a fine actor. RIP Sir Sean Connery 5 Link to post Share on other sites
Bogie56 Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Euphemia McBain McLean , mother seated next to Sean. When he had some success, Sean bought his mother a home in Edinburgh. I know this as my Uncle sold it to him. Born on Aug. 25, 1930, in Edinburgh to a mother, Euphemia McBain, who toiled as a cleaning lady, and a father, Joseph, who plugged away in a factory, Connery seemed destined for a far less glamorous life than the one he would later enjoy as one of the most popular leading men of his generation. Indeed, after leaving school at 14, he drudged through a number of blue-collar jobs, from truck driver to milkman — the worst of which, he would later say, was polishing coffins — before discovering acting. 2 5 Link to post Share on other sites
