Sean Connery
Bond. James Bond
Thomas "Sean" Connery was born on August 25, 1930 in Fountainbridge, Edinburgh. Passed October 31, 2020
The tall, handsome and muscular Scottish actor Sean Connery is best known as the original actor to portray James Bond in the hugely successful movie franchise, starring in seven films between 1962 and 1983. Some believed that such a career-defining role might leave him unable to escape it, but he proved the doubters wrong, becoming one of the most notable film actors of his generation, with a host of great movies to his name. This arguably culminated in his greatest acclaim in 1988, when Connery won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his role as an Irish cop in The Untouchables (1987), stealing the thunder from the movie's principal star Kevin Costner. Connery was polled as "The Greatest Living Scot" and "Scotland's Greatest Living National Treasure". In 1989, he was proclaimed "Sexiest Man Alive" by People magazine, and in 1999, at age 69, he was voted "Sexiest Man of the Century.”
He improvised his iconic line "Bond. James Bond" in Dr No (1962) after finding that the initial introduction line "I am James Bond" was flat and sounded unnatural. It took a few subsequent takes before he included the pause, giving the line it's effect.
