    Sean Connery Dead at 90

    Sean Connery died yesterday morning, peacefully, in his sleep.

    He is the most famous 007 actor and starred in countless movies, making each one memorable just by his being in it.

    We lost an icon today.

    He will be missed.

    Sad. 90 years. Not bad at all. He was my favorite bond.

    Yep, sadly watching the things we grew up on dying, knowing we will soon too. But at least the good people will have everlasting life afterward.

    Many of his "post-Bond" roles were as interesting and enjoyable, esp. as we got to see him without the toupees he wore in the later Bond films.
    The Untouchables (He got an Oscar)
    The Wind and the Lion
    The Hunt for Red October
    Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves
    Highlander and Highlander 2
    Medicine Man
    The Name of the Rose (another Oscar)
    Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
    and several others that I have never watched (like Russia House).

    We commemorated him last night by streaming The Hunt for Red October.

    I really liked his movies, "Finding Forrester," and "Medicine Man."

    Anything he appeard in was made that much greater by his appearance.
