Sir Sean Connery is dead, 31 th oktober 2020   Facts: Sir Sean Connery Full Name: Thomas Sean Connery Date of Birth: 25th August 1930. Dead 2020-10-31 Place of Birth: Edinburgh, Scotland Height: 6' 2.5" (1.89m) Films: 6 official; 1 'unofficial' Active Duty: 1962-1967; 1969; 1983 Only Bond: The only 007 actor to have received an Academy Award. FROM EDINBURGH TO "SOUTH PACIFIC" Biograf 1962 - Dr No 1963 - From Russia With Love 1964 - Goldfinger 1965 - Thunderball 1967 - You Only Live Twice 1971 - Diamonds Are Forever 1983 - Never Say Never Again 1983 ('unofficial') "I had no grand plan. Everyone talks about how they knew the Bond films were going to be a success, but it simply isn't true." Thomas Sean Connery was born in the bustling city of Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1930 to Joseph and Euphamia Connery. As the oldest of three, Sean was born into a working class family living on the docks where family-members worked all hours of the day to bring up the boys. Sean was educated in a public school but dropped out at a young age and joined the full time workforce as a teen. His first job out of school was as a milkman, then at the young age of 16, he enrolled in the Navy where he received his patriotic tattoos like many of his peers. He spent three years in the armed forces where he was kept at a high level of fitness. At the end of his third year in the forces he was released from the services and returned to his city of birth to try his hand in various labour-based career paths including bricklaying, truck driving, and even as a coffin pusher for an undertaker. His work in these labouring roles left Connery with an impressive physique. This, and perhaps a stroke of happenstance, lead him to his entry in 1950 Mr. Universe competition. In the event Connery beat out a variety of professional male models to win third place. With a spark of fame and very little of a career elsewhere, the modeling path proved successful for Connery. He quickly won a place in the touring cast of Rogers and Hammerstein's "South Pacific", after attending an audition on advice of fellow Mr. Universe competitor Johnny Isaacs. The aspiring model and actor spent several years on the stage before his television debut in 1956. Even whilst Connery was paving the way as an actor he found another option to pursue. As a keen footballer, Connery was offered a trial East Fife soccer club, but declined fearing the career may have been too short-lived. In 1958, and after various bit parts and chorus roles, Connery landed the lead in the feature film "Another Time, Another Place" in which he played opposite the Academy Award-nominated US actress, Lana Turner. The Lewis Allen directed drama follows the unrequited love affair between journalists. Just prior to landing the big-time role of James Bond in 1962, Connery married his first wife Diane Cilento, an Australian actress who was already a rising star in American cinema. The following year, Cilento gave birth to their son - Jason Connery - who went on to claim fame as an actor in his own right. The very same year Sean Connery was approached by aspiring filmmakers, Albert "Cubby"Broccoli and Harry Saltzman, who were looking to transform the literary creations of Ian Fleming  in to big screen action-adventures. Whilst many big-name stars, such as Carry Grant and David Niven were considered for the role of Secret Agent 007, Connery had the rugged looks and naturally confident demeanour to lend to the character of James Bond. Although the film producers were confident that director Terence Young could mould Sean Connery in the ideal image of James Bond, 007's literary creator was not initially comfortable with the casting choice. Fleming felt Connery to be both unkempt and unrefined; Young's task was to convince Fleming and the cinema-going world otherwise. Terence Young took the relatively inexperienced actor under his wing and trained him in luxury dress, fine dining and gave him the understanding he needed to play his new role. Throughout his first four James Bond adventures, Connery's acting skill blossomed and gave fan-favoured performances in "From Russia With Love" (his personal favourite of the Bond movies)  and "Goldfinger" - cutting a striking and memorable figure as the British secret agent. Thanks to James Bond, Sean Connery became a public figure and a Hollywood star. It was in 1969, and on location in Japan for the production of "You Only Live Twice" that Sean Connery announced to the presses that he would be standing down after his fifth 007 adventure; stating he felt the series to be too formulaic and feeling he was quickly becoming type-cast as Bond. Free from the mantel and contracts of 007, Connery starred as Jack Kehoe the period piece "The Molly Maguires". Set in 1876 and the coalmines of Pennsylvania, Connery's first breakaway from Bond bombed at the box office - despite later being popular among a cult following for its rich history. Ultimately, after the standing down of  George Lazenby  and a salary offer too good to refuse, Connery returned to the Bond franchise for a sixth outing. It was the flashy Vegas adventure "Diamonds Are Forever". The now successful 007-actor reportedly donated his entire salary to charity and turned down a five million pound offer to return for "Live And Let Die". After his departure, for the second time, from the 007 series Connery's career bloomed when he landed roles in various big-budget productions including Agatha Christie's Poirot mystery "Murder on the Orient Express", war-drama "A Bridge Too Far"  or an Oscar-winning role in "The Untouchables".  On a lighter note, Connery agreed to appear in the Python-esque production, "Timebandits" after a running gag in which Michael Palin scripted his character as "Sean Connery (or someone or equal,  but cheaper, stature)". In 1973, Connery and wife Dianne went through a painful and public divorce. Two years later, Connery married his current wife, artist Micheline Roquebrune.

The Scot played the charismatic father of Indy: Henry Jones Snr. The interplay between Harrison Ford and Sean Connery as father and son remains a highlight of this production. In the 1990's Connery made several blockbusters, sealing his mark on Hollywood as both a talented actor, and of course, sex symbol. By the new millennium there was much speculation surrounding an impending retirement of the Scottish actor. Shortly before his 75th birthday Connery commented that he had decided to retire from filmmakers following the lacklustre response to 2003's "The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen". He reportedly declined roles in two successful trilogies, "The Matrix" and "Lord of the Rings", stating he turned down the offer as he did not understand the scripts As a long-time political activist, Connery regularly voices his support for the Scottish National Party. His involvement in the Scottish independence movement has been highly publicised and often criticised, as the Hollywood actor has not lived in his homeland for many years. He has, however, regularly contributed to a selection of Scottish based charities, namely SEIT (Scottish International Education Trust) and Friends of Scotland. Academy Award-winning Scottish actor Sean Connery is best known for playing 007 in the first James Bond spy movies. He has also starred in an array of other projects, including 'Robin and Marian,' 'The Name of the Rose,' 'The Untouchables,' 'The Hunt for Red October' and 'Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.'

Timothy Dalton continued the Bond tradition and filmed a sequence on the Rock for The Living Daylights'.

The Rock Hotel has hosted numerous internationally renowned celebrities and a number of celebrity weddings. Bernard Montgomery and Dwight D. Eisenhower stayed at the hotel while they were planning the invasion of North Africa, and Winston Churchill and Errol Flynn also stayed here.

The Walher LP53 gun original James Bond poster "From Russia With Love" 1963 The LP53 gun can be seen in the following movie posters: - From Russia With Love - Goldfinger - Thunderball  - You Only Live Twice     note that each movie had different posters for different countries, so not in all posters can this gun be seen

The Walther LP53 is a classic James Bond gun although it never featured in a Bond movie. The gun, with its distinctive long barrel was the weapon of choice for James Bond in many movie posters and promotional photographs. The story is that during a photoshoot with Sean Connery for From Russia With Love, the photographer volunteered his own Walther LP53, after the PPK wasn't available on the set. The LP53 is an airgun and can only shoot little lead pellets (although with considerable force). The weapon is 'loaded' by opening it all the way (almost like breaking it in half), load a pellet and close it, building up the airpressure. In the photos and posters, Bond holds a LP53 with a black grip, although a brown version was also available for this gun.   1967 Man lever bara två gånger.

På Ljus och Dekor i Halmstad tillverkas olika redskap till nöjesbranschen. Nu säljer en av de anställda, Robin från Falkenberg, en tre meter lång pistol. - Den har varit med i en föreställning i Göteborg, på Lisebergsteatern. Den hamnade hos oss igen för att den skulle slängas, men många tyckte den var för fin för det, berättar Robin. Tanken var att företaget skulle behålla den tre meter långa pistolen och hänga upp den på väggen, precis som de gjort med en fyra meter lång gitarr som de tillverkat. - Men det har inte riktigt hunnits med och den tar mycket plats, så chefen tyckte jag skulle lägga ut den på Blocket, förklarar Robin. Han fortsätter: - Stora saker brukar gå att sälja, för folk tycket det är ganska roligt. Så jag tänkte att jag lägger ut den och ser om någon nappar. Vapnet är tillverkat av metall och MDF, en sorts träfiberskiva av pressade sågspån. Robin förklarar att vapnet har en väldigt slät yta. Han uppskattar att den stadiga pistolen väger runt hundra kilo. - Tanken var att den skulle vara med i ett James Bond-nummer på scen, det är den typen av pistol det är. Det går att sitta och dansa på den. Finns det fler liknande pistoler? - Detta är den enda som finns, det är vi på Ljus och Dekor som designat och tillverkat den. Ni har lagt 5000 kronor som utgångspris för vapnet, vad baserar ni den höga summan på? - En sådan grej kostar rätt mycket att tillverka, så vi lägger ut ett pris och vill ingen köpa så behåller vi den själva. Vi har lite andra saker som vi gjort som folk erbjuder mycket pengar för, men det har inte alltid varit lämpligt att sälja sådana grejer. Det beror på var den kommer ifrån och vad den varit med om. Har någon intressent hört av sig än? - Nej, jag förväntar mig inte det heller, avslutar Robin med ett skratt.   From Russia With Love, 1963 From Russia With Love, 1963 At a Christies auction on 25 November 2010, the Walther LP53 air pistol held by Sean Connery as James Bond in the photo-shoot used for the main image in the poster and advertising campaign for the 1963 United Artists/Eon film From Russia With Love has sold for a staggering £277,250 (around $430,000), more than 10 times the estimate.  Luftpistolen från From Russia With Love affischen såld Pistolen som bars utav Sean Connery på affischen till James Bond filmen From Russia With Love såld!

Walther LP53 air pistol held by Gunnar James Bond Schäfer from the 1963  From Russia With Love. in the 007 museum Nybro Sweden The Walther LP53 is a classic James Bond gun although it never featured in a Bond movie. The gun, with its distinctive long barrel was the weapon of choice for James Bond in many movie posters and promotional photographs. The story is that during a photoshoot with Sean Connery for From Russia With Love, the photographer volunteered his own Walther LP53, after the PPK wasn't available on the set. The LP53 is an airgun and can only shoot little lead pellets (although with considerable force). The weapon is 'loaded' by opening it all the way (almost like breaking it in half), load a pellet and close it, building up the airpressure. In the photos and posters, Bond holds a LP53 with a black grip, although a brown version was also available for this gun.

Christies describes the lot as "the air pistol, a .177 (4.5mm) Walther 'LP MOD.53' Air Pistol, Serial No. 054159, with 24cm barrel, blackened finish throughout, in original close-fitted Walther case with sight elements is accompanied by a letter concerning the provenance from the original vendor. It states that the image he shot of Connery holding this Walther air pistol was ...used in some way or other to promote every Bond film till You Only Live Twice ..; Also included was a corresponding reproduction still of Connery holding this gun." Christies beskriver partiet som "luften pistol, en 0,177 (4,5 mm) Walther" LP MOD.53 "Luftpistol, serienr 054159, med 24cm fat, svarta finish hela, i original nära utrustade Walther fallet med sikte element åtföljs av ett brev angående härstamningen från den ursprungliga leverantören ... Det anges att bilden han sköt av Connery innehar detta Walther luftpistol var ... som används i ett eller annat sätt för att främja varje Bond-film till You Only Live Twice, Dessutom ingår en motsvarande reproduktion fortfarande av Connery innehar denna pistol. " Lot Notes from Christies: "The original vendor, who was commissioned to shoot the images required for the publicity campaign for the second Bond film From Russia With Love, explains in his accompanying letter that "it was decided that for the main image in the poster and advertising campaign what was required was a strong portrait of Sean Connery as Bond 007, with his Walther pistol" He explains further that when Connery arrived at his studio for the shoot, it was discovered by publicist Tom Carlile that no one had brought the gun needed for the shoot, the synonymous small Walther automatic [Walther PPK]. By chance the photographer practised air pistol target shooting as a hobby and had the gun he used for this purpose, also a Walther, at the studio "it was decided that - without telling Sean or the other representatives of United Artists - we would use my pistol for the pictures and presumed that should anyone have doubts on their seeing the name Walther on the gun, they would be reassured. Lot Anteckningar från Christies: "Den ursprungliga säljaren, som fick i uppdrag att skjuta bilderna krävs för reklamkampanj för den andra Bond-filmen From Russia With Love, förklarar i sin följebrev att" det beslutades att för de viktigaste bild på affischen och reklamkampanjen vad som krävdes var en stark porträtt av Sean Connery som Bond 007, med sin Walther pistol "Han förklarar vidare att när Connery kom till hans studio för fotograferingen upptäcktes det av publicisten Tom Carlile att ingen hade väckt pistol . krävs för skottens synonymt små Walther automatisk [Walther PPK] Av en slump fotografen praktiseras målet luftpistol skytte som hobby och hade vapnet han använde för detta ändamål, också en Walther, i studion ", beslöts det att - utan att tala om Sean eller andra representanter för United Artists - vi skulle använda min pistol för bilderna och den antog att skulle någon tvivlar på att de fick se namnet Walther på pistolen, skulle de vara säkra. This was, in fact, the case. Detta var i själva verket är fallet. In theory...the long barrel of the air-pistol... I teorin ... den långa fat av luft-pistol ... should have been removed by airbrushing during the designing of the actual poster - in practice... borde ha tagits bort av airbrushing under utformningen av själva affischen - i praktiken ... this was never done..." Detta var aldrig gjort ... "
