“My name is Bond, James Bond.” Thomas Sean Connery, born in Edinburgh, Scotland, on 25 Aug 1930, died in his sleep on 31 Oct 2020, aged 90, at his home in the Bahamas
Connery at a Tartan Day celebration in Washington, D.C. When knighted by Queen Elizabeth II in 2000 he wore a green-and-black hunting tartan kilt of his mother’s MacLean clan.
Seeking to supplement his income, Connery helped out backstage at the King’s Theatre in late 1951. During a bodybuilding competition held in London in 1953, one of the competitors mentioned that auditions were being held for a production of South Pacific, and Connery landed a small part as one of the Seabees chorus boys. By the time the production reached Edinburgh, he had been given the part of Marine Cpl. Hamilton Steeves and was understudying two of the juvenile leads, and his salary was raised from £12 to £14–10s a week. The production returned the following year, out of popular demand, and Connery was promoted to the featured role of Lieutenant Buzz Adams, which Larry Hagman had portrayed in the West End.
My name is Bond, James Bond…
The original James Bond – and arguably the best – was Sean Connery, who accepted a license to kill from 1962 to 1971, plus a final “unofficial” Bond film in 1983. His Bond movies included “Dr. No” (1962), “From Russia with Love” (1963), “Goldfinger” (1964), “Thunderball” (1965), “You Only Live Twice” (1967), “Diamonds are Forever” (1971) and the 1983 version “Never Say Never Again.”
