Sean Connery passes at age 90

Post by FfNJGTFO »




While I remember him better as the first and most iconic James Bond, his greatest impact on me was his famous death line in the Kevin Costner film, "The Untouchables..." where he played the Chicago Police officer Jim Malone...

As far as I am concerned, Sean Connery is the one and only James Bond.

IIRC, his standard service weapon was a Walther model, correct?

The word legend is often overused. In this case I think he earned it.

RIP sir.

Originally (in the first few novels), he carried a Beretta 418, but ultimately switched to the Walther PPK:

He lived a full life at 90.

First Sean, and now Alex Trebeck. All on top of the election results. The hits keep coming.
