Sir Thomas Sean Connery Kt. (/nHelp:IPA for English#Keyknri/; 25 August 1930) is a Scottish actor and
producer who has won an Academy Award, two BAFTA Awards (one of them being a BAFTA Academy
Fellowship Award) and three Golden Globes (including the Cecil B. DeMille Award and a Henrietta Award). He
was knighted by Elizabeth II in July 2000, and received the Kennedy Center Honors in the US.
Connery is best known for portraying the character James Bond, starring in seven Bond films between 1962 and
1983 (six Eon Productions films and the non-Eon Thunderball remake, Never Say Never Again). In 1988, Connery
won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his role in The Untouchables. His film career also includes
such films as Marnie, The Name of the Rose, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Indiana Jones and the Last
Crusade, The Hunt for Red October, Highlander, Murder on the Orient Express, Dragonheart, and The Rock.
Connery has been polled as "The Greatest Living Scot" and "Scotland's Greatest Living National Treasure". In 1989,
he was proclaimed "Sexiest Man Alive" by People magazine and in 1999, at age 69, he was voted "Sexiest Man of
the Century".

Sean Connery

Early life
Thomas Sean Connery, named Thomas after his grandfather, was born in Fountainbridge, Edinburgh, Scotland. His
mother, Euphemia McBain "Effie" (ne McLean), was a cleaning woman, and his father, Joseph Connery, was a
factory worker and lorry driver. His paternal grandfather's parents emigrated to Scotland from Ireland in the
mid-19th century.[2] The remainder of his family was of Scottish descent, and his maternal great-grandparents were
native Scottish Gaelic speakers from Fife (unusually, for a speaker of the language) and Uig on the Isle of Skye.[3]
His father was a Roman Catholic, and his mother was a Protestant. He has a younger brother, Neil (b. 1938).
Connery claims he was called Sean, his middle name, long before becoming an actor, explaining that when he was
young he had an Irish friend named Samus and that those who knew them both had decided to call Connery by his
middle name whenever both were present. He was generally referred to in his youth as "Tommy".[4] Although he
was small in primary school, he grew rapidly around the age of 12, reaching his full adult height of 6ft 2in (188cm)
at 18. He was known during his teen years as "Big Tam", and has claimed to have lost his virginity to an adult
woman in an ATS uniform at the age of 14.[5] [6]
Connery's first job was as a milkman in Edinburgh with St. Cuthbert's Co-operative Society. He then joined the
Royal Navy during which time he got two tattoos, of which his official website says "unlike many tattoos, his were
not frivoloushis tattoos reflect two of his lifelong commitments: his family and Scotland. ... One tattoo is a tribute
to his parents and reads 'Mum and Dad,' and the other is self-explanatory, 'Scotland Forever.'"
Connery was later discharged from the navy on medical grounds because of a duodenal ulcer, a condition that
affected most of the males in previous generations of his family.[7] Afterwards, he returned to the co-op, then worked
as, among other things, a lorry driver, a lifeguard at Portobello swimming baths, a labourer, an artist's model for the
Edinburgh College of Art, and after a suggestion by former Mr. Scotland, Archie Brennan,[8] a coffin polisher. The
modelling earned him 15 shillings an hour.[8] Student artist Richard Demarco who painted several notable early
pictures of Connery described him as "very straight, slightly shy, too, too beautiful for words, a virtual Adonis."[9]
Connery began bodybuilding at the age of 18, and from 1951 trained heavily with Ellington, a former gym instructor
in the British army.[10] While his official website claims he was third in the 1950 Mr. Universe contest, most sources
place him in the 1953 competition, either third in the Junior class or failing to place in the Tall Man classification.
Connery stated that he was soon deterred from bodybuilding when he found that the Americans frequently beat him
in competitions because of sheer muscle size and, unlike Connery, refused to participate in athletic activity which
could make them lose muscle mass.[11]
Connery was a keen footballer, having played for Bonnyrigg Rose in his younger days. He was offered a trial with
East Fife. While on tour with South Pacific, Connery played in a football match against a local team that Matt
Busby, manager of Manchester United, happened to be scouting. According to reports, Busby was impressed with
his physical prowess and offered Connery a contract worth 25 a week immediately after the game. Connery admits
that he was tempted to accept, but he recalls, "I realised that a top-class footballer could be over the hill by the age of
30, and I was already 23. I decided to become an actor and it turned out to be one of my more intelligent moves."

Career
1950s
Looking to pick up some extra money, Connery helped out backstage at the King's Theatre in late 1951. He became
interested in the proceedings, and a career was launched. During a bodybuilding competition 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.[12] The production returned the following year out of popular demand, and Connery was promoted
to the featuring role of Lieutenant Buzz Adams, which Larry Hagman had portrayed in the West End.[12] While in

Sean Connery
Edinburgh, Connery was targeted by the notorious Valdor gang, one of the most ruthless gangs in the city. He was
first approached by them in a billiard hall on Lothian Street where he prevented them from stealing from his jacket
and was later followed by six gang members to a 15ft high balcony at the Palais.[13] There Connery launched an
attack single-handedly against the gang members, grabbing one by the throat and another by a biceps and cracked
their heads together. From then on he was treated with great respect by the gang and gained a reputation as a "hard
man".[14] Connery first met Michael Caine at a party during the production of South Pacific in 1954, and the two
would later become close friends.[12] During the production of South Pacific at the Opera House, Manchester over
the Christmas period of 1954, Connery developed a serious interest in the theatre through American director and
actor Robert Henderson who loaned him copies of the Henrik Ibsen works Hedda Gabler. The Wild Duck, and When
We Dead Awaken, and later listed works by the likes of Marcel Proust, Leo Tolstoy, Ivan Turgenev, Bernard Shaw,
James Joyce, and William Shakespeare for him to digest.[15] Henderson urged him to take elocution lessons and got
him parts at the Maida Vale Theatre in London, and he had already begun pursuing a film career, playing an extra in
Herbert Wilcox's 1954 musical Lilacs in the Spring alongside Anna Neagle.[16]
Although Connery had secured several roles as extras, he was struggling to make ends meet, and was forced to
accept a part-time job as a babysitter for journalist Peter Noble and his actress wife Mary, which earned him 10
shillings a night.[16] He met Hollywood actress Shelley Winters one night at Noble's house who described Connery
as "one of the tallest and most charming and masculine Scotsmen" she'd ever seen, and later spent many evenings
with the Connery brothers drinking beer. [16] Around this time Connery was residing at TV presenter Llew Gardner's
house. Henderson got Connery a role in a 6 a week Q Theatre production of Agatha Christie's Witness for the
Prosecution, during which he met and became friends with fellow-Scot Ian Bannen.[17] This role was followed by
Point of Departure and A Witch in Time at Kew, a role as Pentheus opposite Yvonne Mitchell in The Bacchae at the
Oxford Playhouse, and a role opposite Jill Bennett in Eugene O'Neill's production of Anna Christie.[17] During his
time at the Oxford Theatre, Connery won a brief part as a boxer in the TV series The Square Ring, before being
spotted by Canadian director Alvin Rakoff who gave him multiple roles in The Condemned, shot on location in
Dover in Kent. In 1956, Connery appeared in the theatrical production of Epitaph, and played a minor role as a
hoodlum in the "Ladies of the Manor" episode of the Dixon of Dock Green.[17] This was followed by small television
parts in Sailor of Fortune and The Jack Benny Program.[17]
In the spring of 1957, Connery hired agent Richard Hatton who got him a role as Spike, a minor gangster with a
speech impediment in Montgomery Tully's No Road Back alongside Skip Homeier, Paul Carpenter, Patricia Dainton
and Norman Wooland.[18] In April 1957, the aforementioned Alvin Rakoff, after being disappointed by Jack Palance,
decided to give the young actor his first chance in a leading role and cast Connery as Mountain McLintock in BBC
TV's outstanding production of Requiem For A Heavyweight which also starred Warren Mitchell and Jacqueline
Hill. He then played a rogue lorry driver Johnny Yates in Cy Endfield's Hell Drivers (1957) alongside Stanley Baker,
Herbert Lom, Peggy Cummins and Patrick McGoohan. Later in 1957 Connery appeared in Terence Young's poorly
received MGM action picture Action of the Tiger opposite Van Johnson, Martine Carol, Herbert Lom and Gustavo
Rojo; the film was shot on location in southern Spain. He also had a minor role in Gerald Thomas's thriller Time
Lock (1957) as a welder, appearing alongside Robert Beatty, Lee Patterson, Betty McDowall and Vincent Winter,
which commenced filming on 1 December 1956 at Beaconsfield Studios.
In 1958 he had a major role in the melodrama Another Time, Another Place (1958) as a British reporter named Mark
Trevor, caught in a love affair opposite Lana Turner and Barry Sullivan. During filming, star Lana Turner's
possessive gangster boyfriend, Johnny Stompanato, who was visiting from Los Angeles, believed she was having an
affair with Connery. He stormed onto the set and pointed a gun at Connery, only to have Connery disarm him and
knock him flat on his back. Stompanato was banned from the set. Connery later recounted that he had to lie low for a
while after receiving threats from men linked to Stompanato's boss, Mickey Cohen.
In 1959, Connery landed a leading role in Robert Stevenson's Walt Disney Productions film Darby O'Gill and the
Little People (1959) alongside Albert Sharpe, Janet Munro, and Jimmy O'Dea. The film is a tale about a wily

Sean Connery

Irishman and his battle of wits with leprechauns. Upon the film's initial release, A. H. Weiler of the New York Times
praised the cast (save Connery whom he described as "merely tall, dark, and handsome") and thought the film an
"overpoweringly charming concoction of standard Gaelic tall stories, fantasy and romance.". In his book The Disney
Films, film critic and historian Leonard Maltin stated that, "Darby O'Gill and the Little People is not only one of
Disney's best films, but is certainly one of the best fantasies ever put on film."
He also had a prominent television role in Rudolph Cartier's 1961 productions of Adventure Story and Anna
Karenina for BBC Television, in the latter of which he co-starred with Claire Bloom.

James Bond: 196271, 1983

Connery's breakthrough came in the role of secret agent James Bond. He was reluctant to commit to a film series, but
understood that if the films succeeded his career would greatly benefit. He played the character in the first five Bond
films: Dr. No (1962), From Russia with Love (1963), Goldfinger (1964), Thunderball (1965), and You Only Live
Twice (1967) then appeared again as Bond in Diamonds Are Forever (1971) and Never Say Never Again (1983).
All seven films were commercially successful. James Bond, as portrayed by Connery, was selected as the
third-greatest hero in cinema history by the American Film Institute.[19]
Connery's selection as James Bond owed a lot to Dana Broccoli, wife of Cubby Broccoli, who is reputed to have
been instrumental in persuading Cubby that Sean Connery was the right man. James Bond's creator, Ian Fleming,
originally doubted Connery's casting, saying, "He's not what I envisioned of James Bond looks" and "I'm looking for
Commander Bond and not an overgrown stunt-man," adding that Connery (muscular, 6' 2", and a Scot) was
unrefined. Fleming's girlfriend told him Connery had the requisite sexual charisma. Fleming changed his mind after
the successful Dr. No premire; he was so impressed, he created a half-Scottish, half-Swiss heritage for Bond in the
later novels.
Connery's portrayal of Bond owes much to stylistic tutelage from director Terence Young, polishing the actor while
using his physical grace and presence for the action. Lois Maxwell, who played Miss Moneypenny, related that,
"Terence took Sean under his wing. He took him to dinner, showed him how to walk, how to talk, even how to
eat."[20] The tutoring was successful; Connery received thousands of fan letters a week, and the actor became one of
the great male sex symbols of film.
During the filming of Thunderball in 1965, Connery's life was in
danger in the sequence with the sharks in Emilio Largo's pool, which
he had been in fear of when he read the script. He insisted that Ken
Adam build a special Plexiglas partition inside the pool, but, despite
this, it was not a fixed structure and one of the sharks managed to pass
through it. Connery had to abandon the pool immediately, seconds
away from attack.
Connery was forced to wear a toupee during each of the Bond movies
because he had started balding at the age of 21.
In 2005, From Russia with Love was adapted by Electronic Arts into a
video game, titled James Bond 007: From Russia with Love, which
featured all-new voice work by Connery as well as his likeness, and
those of several of the film's supporting cast.

Beyond Bond

Sean Connery
Although Bond had made him a star, Connery eventually tired of the role and the pressure the franchise put on him,
saying "[I am] fed up to here with the whole Bond bit" and "I have always hated that damned James Bond. I'd like to
kill him". Michael Caine said of the situation, "If you were his friend in these early days you didn't raise the subject
of Bond. He was, and is, a much better actor than just playing James Bond, but he became synonymous with Bond.
He'd be walking down the street and people would say, "Look, there's James Bond." That was particularly upsetting
to him."[21] While making the Bond films, Connery also starred in other acclaimed films such as Alfred Hitchcock's
Marnie (1964) and The Hill (1965). Apart from The Man Who Would Be King and The Wind and the Lion, both
released in 1975, most of Connery's successes in the next decade were as part of ensemble casts in films such as
Murder on the Orient Express (1974) with Vanessa Redgrave and John Gielgud and A Bridge Too Far (1977)
co-starring Dirk Bogarde and Laurence Olivier. Connery shared a Henrietta Award with Charles Bronson for "World
Film Favorite Male" in 1972.
In 1981, Connery appeared in the film Time Bandits as Agamemnon. The casting choice derives from a joke Michael
Palin included in the script, in which he describes the character removing his mask as being "Sean Connery or
someone of equal but cheaper stature". When shown the script, Connery was happy to play the supporting role. In
1982, Connery narrated G'ol!, the official film of the 1982 FIFA World Cup.[22]
After his experience with Never Say Never Again in 1983 and the
following court case, Connery became unhappy with the major studios
and for two years did not make any films. Following the successful
European production The Name of the Rose (1986), for which he won a
BAFTA award, Connery's interest in more commercial material was
revived. That same year, a supporting role in Highlander showcased
his ability to play older mentors to younger leads, which would
become a recurring role in many of his later films. The following year,
his acclaimed performance as a hard-nosed Irish-American cop in The
Untouchables (1987) earned him the Academy Award for Best
Supporting Actor, his sole nomination throughout his career. His
subsequent box-office hits included Indiana Jones and the Last
Crusade (1989), in which he played Henry Jones Sr., the title
Connery at the 1988 Academy Awards
character's father, The Hunt for Red October (1990) (where he was
reportedly called in at two weeks' notice), The Russia House (1990),
The Rock (1996), and Entrapment (1999). In 1996, he voiced the role of Draco the dragon in the film Dragonheart.
In 1998, Sean Connery received a BAFTA Academy Fellowship Award.
Connery's later films have included several box office and critical disappointments such as First Knight (1995), The
Avengers (1998), and The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (2003), but he also received positive reviews,
including his performance in Finding Forrester (2000). He also received a Crystal Globe for outstanding artistic
contribution to world cinema.
Connery stated in interviews that he was offered a role in The Lord of the Rings series, declining it due to "not
understanding the script." CNN reported that the actor was offered up to 15% of the worldwide box office receipts to
play Gandalf, which had he accepted, could have earned him as much as $400million for the trilogy. Connery's
disillusionment with the "idiots now making films in Hollywood" was cited as a reason for his eventual decision to
retire from film-making.

Retirement
When Connery received the American Film Institute's Lifetime Achievement Award on 8 June 2006, he confirmed
his retirement from acting. On 7 June 2007, he denied rumours that he would appear in the fourth Indiana Jones
film, stating that "retirement is just too much damned fun".
Connery returned to voice acting, playing the title character in the animated short Sir Billi the Vet, and in 2005 he
recorded voiceovers for a new video game version of his Bond film From Russia with Love. In an interview on the
game disc, Connery stated that he was very happy that the producers of the game (EA Games) had approached him
to voice Bond and that he hoped to do another one in the near future. In 2010, he reprised his role in an expanded
80-minute version of Sir Billi, serving also as executive producer. In 2010, a bronze bust sculpture of Connery was
placed in the capital city of Estonia.
His last public appearance was on 11 September 2012 at the 2012 US Open tennis tournament, supporting tennis
player and fellow Scotsman Andy Murray. Together with Alex Ferguson and Murray's mother Judy, he gatecrashed
Murray's post-semi-final press conference.
In the film Transformers: Dark of the Moon, the character Sentinel Prime's features were mostly based on Connery.
When Leonard Nimoy was to voice the role, however, the effects were altered to incorporate Nimoy's acting as well.
Director Sam Mendes confirmed that Connery was considered being cast in the Kincaide role taken by Albert Finney
in Skyfall, but stated the idea was shelved as being distracting to the film.

Personal life
During the production of South Pacific in the mid-1950s, Connery
dated a "dark-haired beauty with a ballerina's figure", Carol Sopel, but
was warned off by her Jewish family.[23] He then dated a blonde
named Julie Hamilton; given his rugged appearance and rough charm
she initially thought he was a most appalling person and was not
attracted to him until she saw him in a kilt, declaring him to be the
most beautiful thing she'd ever seen in her life.[24] He also shared a
mutual attraction with black jazz singer Maxine Daniels, whom he met
at the Empire Theatre. He made a pass at her, but she informed him
that she was already happily married with a baby daughter.[25] Connery
was married to actress Diane Cilento from 1962 to 1973. They had a
son, actor Jason Connery. Connery has been married to
Moroccan-French painter Micheline Roquebrune (born 1929) since
1975.
Connery's former wife, Diane Cilento
Connery, a keen golfer, owned the Domaine de Terre Blanche[26] in the
South of France for twenty years (from 1979) where he planned to
build his dream golf course on the 266 acres (108ha) of land, but the dream was not realised until he sold it to
German billionaire Dietmar Hopp in 1999. He has been awarded the rank of Shodan (1st dan) in Kyokushin karate.

Connery was knighted in July 2000. He had been nominated for a knighthood in 1997 and 1998, but these
nominations were vetoed by Donald Dewar due to Connery's political views.

Scottish National Party

Connery is a member of the Scottish National Party
(SNP),Wikipedia:Link rot a centre-left political party campaigning for
Scottish independence, and has supported the party financially and
through personal appearances. His funding of the SNP ceased in 2001,
Connery and his wife, Micheline Roquebrune
(1983)
when the UK Parliament passed legislation that prohibited overseas
funding of political activities in the UK. In 2008, Connery said in the
Scottish Sunday Express that he believed Scotland would become an independent country within his lifetime and
praised the work of the SNP in a minority government after their victory in the 2007 Scottish Parliament election.
Connery released documents in 2003 showing that he had paid 3.7 million in UK taxes between 1997/98 and
2002/03. Connery swore never to return to live in Scotland unless it became an independent state.[27] In 2010 he
made an appearance at the Edinburgh Film Festival.

Health
In 1993, news that Connery was undergoing radiation treatment for an undisclosed throat ailment sparked media
reports that the actor was suffering from throat cancer following years of heavy smoking, and he was falsely declared
dead by the Japanese and South African news agencies. Connery immediately appeared on the Late Show with David
Letterman to deny all of this. In a February 1995 interview with Entertainment Weekly, he said that the radiation
treatment was to remove nodules from his vocal cords. (His father, a heavy smoker, died from throat cancer in 1972.)
In 2003, he had surgery to remove cataracts from both eyes. On 12 March 2006, he announced he was recovering
from surgery in January to remove a kidney tumour. In 2008, he chipped a bone in his shoulder after falling while
playing golf. In October 2009, he told Wine Spectator magazine that he had been diagnosed with a heart condition.
