Micheline Roquebrune, Sean Connery’s widow, who died this Saturday at age 90 in the Bahamas, revealed that the actor suffered in recent months from senile dementia and that he died in his quiet bed and in the company of his family.
In statements published by the British newspaper “Daily Mail”, Roquebrune explained that, due to illness, “it was no longer life for him. Lately he was unable to express himself. “
The widow, of French-Moroccan origin and who was the second wife of the Scottish actor who popularized the super-agent James Bond, considered that her husband was “a wonderful model of a man” and that they both shared “a wonderful life.”
The tabloid published what is believed to be the last photo of the star in life, taken last May in celebration of their 45th wedding anniversary and in which an aging Connery is seen holding his wife’s hand.
“At least he died in his sleep and it was very peaceful. I was with him the whole time and it just went off. It’s what I wanted, to leave without making a sound. “Said Roquebrune.
For his widow, “It will be very difficult without him, but he couldn’t last forever and he went calmly.”
Connery and Roquebrune they were married in Gibraltar in 1975, five years after they met at a golf tournament, a sport they were both very fond of.
The actor had already been married to Diane Cilento, with whom he had his son Jason.
