“Love may not make the world go round, but I must admit that it makes the ride worthwhile.

“I’m an actor - it’s not brain surgery. If I do my job right, people won’t ask for their money back.”

- Sean Connery

The original and one and only Bond, James Bond! Everyone since in that role was like someone trying to play John Wayne! RIP.

Great actor. I don’t think I saw any of his James Bond movies, but he was great in every movie I saw him in.

“Thomas Sean Connery, named Thomas after his grandfather, was born in Fountainbridge, Edinburgh, Scotland on 25 August 1930. His mother, Euphemia “Effie” McBain McLean, was a cleaning woman. She was born the daughter of Neil McLean and Helen Forbes Ross, and named after her father’s mother Euphemia McBain, wife of John McLean and daughter of William McBain from Ceres in Fife. Connery’s father, Joseph Connery, was a factory worker and lorry driver . “
