I was sad to hear of Sean Connery’s passing this morning. He was 90 years old. I actually watched The Untouchables two days ago. I was actually looking at a list of Kevin Costner movies at the time, just wanting to watch a good movie of his I hadn’t seen before, and I found The Untouchables. As it turned out, Sean Connery was in that movie, and actually won the Oscar for Best Actor in a Supporting Role for his performance. He died a horrible death in that movie, but his real death was much more peaceful. He died in his sleep, in the Bahamas, with his family around him. I enjoyed many of his movies, and grew up loving his James Bond movies when I was very young. I think he made his first James Bond movie in 1962 – a year before I was born. He will be missed.
