shareFarewell Big Tam
Not only the best James Bond but a star of so many great and memorable films, the word 'legend' is often used far too easily but that's not the case with Sir Sean Connery, not by a long way!
RIP Legend

i remember reading around the time of Last Crusade Spielberg said in an interview Sean was one of 7 living legends of cinema left (back then i guess he meant the others being the genuine real deal likes of Paul Newman, Brando, Charlton Heston etc) .. i guess now the last genuine bone fide living hollywood legend is Clint and maybe Redford. and probably Harrison Ford as he would be considered in the same league now. and maybe De Niro, Pacino, also Stallone and Arnold..and maybe Travolta .. but they really belong to a latter 'legendary' status of the 70s/80s.. whereas Sean and Clint are of the decade/generation earlier which was still of that golden era of Hollywood
