Noted British actor Sean Connery, who played legendary agent James Bond in seven films, died on Saturday at the age of 90, his family reported.
The actor is known for being the first to bring the role of Agent 007 to the big screen, appearing in seven films in the series.
During his acting career, which spanned several decades, he won an Oscar, two Bafta awards and three Golden Globes.
Connery is also known for his roles in such films as The Hunt for Red October, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, and The Rock.

In 2000 he was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II at Holyrood Palace, Scotland.
And in August he celebrated his 90th birthday.
