It greatly saddens me to report that Sir Sean Connery, the one and only James Bond, passed away today (Oct 31) at age 90.


Peter (whose envy for Sir Sean's voice is equaled only by that for James Earl Jones's)

My condolences to Miss Moneypenny. 

Connery was Bond, Roger Moore was The Saint.  And those other guys were just ... well ... those other guys.   

And he was also "Zed" in one of my all-time favorite bad movies: Zardoz.

And the inspiration for the wonderful SNL celebrity Jeopardy sketches.

May The Four Winds Blow You Safely Home

Bill, tgo

ps & full disclosure - I plagiarized that on another forum, Bill; it was too good not to.  Already got 1 "Like" for it, too.

Full disclosure:  I copied it to another forum, too.  Is copying yourself plagiarism?   (I know Saul Zantz would say "yes").
