Sean Connery, the Scottish-born actor who rocketed to fame as James Bond and became one of the franchise's most popular and enduring international stars, has died. He was 90.

Connery, long regarded as one of the best actors to have portrayed the iconic spy, was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II in 2000 and marked his 90th birthday in August. His death was confirmed by his family, who said that the actor "died peacefully in his sleep surrounded by family" in the Bahamas. It's believed he had been unwell for some time. His last acting role had been in Stephen Norrington's "The League of Extraordinary Gentleman" (2003).

I hope he rests in peace but ever since the Barbara Walters interview, I haven't been able to warm up to him.  I have great difficulty watching and enjoying his movies.

Oooh, I never saw that interview. To be honest, my favorite Connery roles were the Celebrity Jeopardy on SNL and that wasn't even really him. LOL!  But I thought he was the hottest elderly man on the planet. Not too attracted to the James Bond Connery.

Yeah, I was shocked when I saw it. I thought they were doing some dumb skit or something.
Nothing spoils a good story like the arrival of an eyewitness.
