News Link: Sean Connery The Spy James Bond Dies at 90
Sean Connery, the Scottish actor whose five decade long movie career was dominated by the role of James Bond, has died at the age of 90.
The actor “died peacefully in his sleep,” publicist Nancy Seltzer said in a statement Saturday.
“His wife Micheline, two sons – Jason and Stephane have confirmed that he died peacefully in his sleep surrounded by family. There will be a private ceremony followed by a memorial yet to be planned. This will be once the virus has ended,” the statement said.
He wasn’t just Bond, of course. But like so many characters in the Bond films, he could never quite escape 007. He gave up the role twice before finally ending his involvement with 1983’s puckishly titled “Never Say Never Again.”
James Bond producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli said they were “devastated” by the news. They posed of Connery’s death in a statement posted to the official 007 Twitter account.
“He was and shall always be remembered as the original James Bond whose indelible entrance into cinema history began when he announced those unforgettable words “The name’s Bond… James Bond” he changed the world with his gritty and witty presentation of the sexy and charismatic secret agent,” the producers said.
