A Tribute to Sean Connery

The original "international man of mystery", Sean Connery deserves a Destination Hollywood tribute for his James Bond movies alone. But he left the secret agent world behind for good in the early eighties and evolved into a genuine superstar with a body of work that includes action blockbusters, an Academy Award and many fine performances. He's produced his own movies, has been one of Hollywood's highest paid actors and through his seventies was still paired on screen with twenty something love interests. Today he has announced his retirement from acting but remember he did star in a movie called Never Say Never Again. We salute a Scotsman who hasn't lost his brogue or his charm through four decades of movie making in our Tribute to Sean Connery.

What's New

Although he is retired Sean Connery is getting lots of paychecks. You can see him in magazine ads for Louis Vuitton on the beach in the Bahamas and a James Bond screenplay he cowrote but that was never made was auctioned off at Cristies for $68,000. The movie was called Warhead and featured James Bond battling robot sharks (?) to stop them from putting nuclear bombs in the New York sewers.

DVD Spotlight

The Presidio , the classic Sean Connery movie is available on DVD.
