Sean Connery in his first starring role, as a washed-up boxer.

I met him once and he was gracious and beautiful.

A true icon and immense Scottish man.

Rest In Peace

RIP Sean Connery… the only Bond.

Our strongest Bonds were formed by him, and he was Untouchable.

He passed today at age 90, a suave hero to the end.

I have sweet memories of watching Dad watch his movie idol.

So Sean Connerys passing also feels like Im losing Dad again.

RIP, Dr. Jones.pic.twitter.com/8ElVyac1kV

Few were cooler, few more suave, few more effortless.

He showed us all how it could be done and he thrilled and entertained us the entire time.
