Happy Birthday Mr Bond: Sean Connery Turns 83!

August 25, 2013- While Sean Connery is an accomplished actor and producer, whose diverse body of work is beloved by people all over the world, his most notable film accomplishment, to date, is that his 1962 portrayal of Ian Fleming's Secret Agent in Dr. No transformed film history forever.  While people around the world were familiar with the character of James Bond from the written works, that exposure pales in comparison to the familiarity of people to the character as a result of the 50 year film legacy launched by the compelling performance of this dashing, witty, rugged, Scottish Actor who was, virtually, unknown at the time he took the role.  His James Bond was beloved, and set a high standard for his 5 predecessors to follow.  For many Sean Connery IS James Bond.

Sean Connery's work outside of the World of Bond is memorable, and have earned him an Academy Award, 3 Golden Globes, and 2 BAFTA Awards.  Scores of fans, who never even knew him as James Bond were stunned by his award winning performance in The Untouchables (1987).

Happy Birthday, Mr Bond!  We look forward to what the remainder of your "third act" will bring.
