Sean Connery, the first James Bond, dies aged 90

Live Mint  

Scottish actor Sean Connery has died aged 90. But Connery was unhappy being defined by the role and once said he "hated that damned James Bond". Some noteworthy non-Bond films included director Alfred Hitchcock's Marnie, The Wind and the Lion with Candice Bergen, director John Huston's The Man Who Would be King with Michael Caine, director Steven Spielberg's Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade and the Cold War tale The Hunt for Red October. Genre cinema fans will remember him starring as the "Brutal Exterminator" Zed in John Boorman's fantasy epic Zardoz, where a heavily moustachioed Connery spent much of the movie running around in a skimpy red loin-cloth, thigh-high leather boots and a pony tail. Connery was an ardent supporter of Scotland's independence and had the words "Scotland Forever" tattooed on his arm while serving in the Royal Navy.
