Sean Connery, the first James Bond, dies at 90

London, October 31
Scottish movie legend Sean Connery, who shot to international stardom as the suave, sexy and sophisticated British agent James Bond and went on to grace the silver screen for four decades, has died aged 90.
His wife Micheline and his two sons Jason and Stephane confirmed that he died peacefully in his sleep surrounded by family. He epitomised author Ian Fleming’s suave 007 agent in seven movies.
Connery was raised in near poverty in the slums of Edinburgh and worked as a coffin polisher, milkman and lifeguard before his bodybuilding hobby helped launch an acting career that made him one of the world’s biggest stars.
In a career, spanning several decades, the British star featured in many critically-acclaimed and commercial blockbusters such as “The Hunt for Red October”, “Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade”, “Murder on the Orient Express” and “The Rock”.
He first played the role of James Bond in 1962’s “Dr No”, followed by “From Russia with Love” (1963), “Goldfinger” (1964), “Thunderball” (1965), “You Only Live Twice” (1967), “Diamonds Are Forever” (1971) and “Never Say Never Again” (1983). Connery won an Oscar for supporting actor for his turn as a tough Irish cop in Brian De Palma’s 1987 “The Untouchables”. — PTI

Great action hero. Enjoyed many of his Bond movies, starting with Goldfinger in 1965 in Delhi (right after getting selected to IIT KGP).
