James Bond 007 movie star Sean Connery

For many, Sean Connery was the real James Bond, the cold-hearted charismatic, the 007 spy who was the perfect incarnation of the Cold War spy giants.

He was shown on screen with an assassination license, moving like a hungry tiger in search of his prey, and there was no one vying with him for the role. By contrast, giant actor Roger Moore, who later played James Bond, only raised an eyebrow and made a clever comment with a smile.

While the hero of the James Bond character, Ian Fleming, was studying at Eton’s school for the British elite, Connery grew up in an environment completely devoid of fast cars, pretty women, vodka and martinis.
