Sean Connery: James Bond actor dies aged 90
He was the first to bring James Bond to the big screen and played the role seven times.
Not much to say, he was a god among men. Rest in peace.
I don't want to appear heartless here, but ninety years isn't a bad run.So sad.![]()
Connery had a major role in the melodrama Another Time, Another Place (1958) as a British reporter named Mark Trevor, caught in a love affair opposite Lana Turner and Barry Sullivan. During filming, star Turner's possessive gangster boyfriend, Johnny Stompanato, who was visiting from Los Angeles, believed she was having an affair with Connery.[45] Connery and Turner had attended West End shows and London restaurants together.[46] Stompanato stormed onto the film set and pointed a gun at Connery, only to have Connery disarm him and knock him flat on his back. Stompanato was banned from the set.[47] Two Scotland Yard detectives advised Stompanato to leave and escorted him to the airport, where he boarded a plane back to the US.[48] Connery later recounted that he had to lie low for a while after receiving threats from men linked to Stompanato's boss, Mickey Cohen.[46]
