1 of 35
The death of Sir Sean Connery was announced on Oct. 31, 2020. Born in Fountainbridge, Edinburgh, Scotland, he was known for his original portrayal of Ian Fleming's James Bond and countless other iconic roles.
In 2007, Connery was given the American Film Institute Life Achievement Award. "Though best remembered for creating one of the great film heroes of all time, his talents transcend typecasting, and his body of work not only stands the test of time, but illuminates a career more extraordinary than James Bond himself," wrote Sir Howard Stringer, chair of the AFI Board of Trustees.
