Remembering the best James Bond ever : Academy Award winner, Sir Sean Connery!

SEAN CONNERY as James Bond.

 Sean Connery would've been 94 years old today. Born in August 25th, 1930, he passed away on 0ctober 31, 2020. I've always been a big fan of all his movies but I choose to remember him today as James Bond 007, one of his most famous roles!

ARE YOU AN OLD SCHOOL DINOSAUR?

We used to be called Baby Boomers but that may very well change in the future. I just read in a comment by some wise guy millennial, that "old school dinosaurs" were a hindrance at the workplace because of their old fashioned ways.  And by "old school dinosaurs", he meant people born before 1970.

While that may be the case, our generation still has some rare distinctions that set us apart in a remarkable way from all others.  People born between 1950 and 1960 have lived in 7 decades, two centuries and 2 millenia. Between 1950 and 1970, we also had great music, beautiful (though bulky) cars, drive-in theaters, soda fountains, and some of the most memorable movies and TV shows ever. Just for starters, the Beatles music,  The Pink Panther and James Bond movies were born in the Sixties!  Google it!

Today we celebrate International Women's Day!

International Women's Day is a holiday celebrated annually on March 8 as a focal point in the women's rights movement. IWD gives focus to issues such as gender equality, reproductive rights, and violence and abuse against women. (Wikipedia)  

My favorite women are all the Bond girls from the Sean Connery era and I celebrate all of them!

SEAN CONNERY'S BIRTHDAY

SEAN CONNERY was born on August 25th, 1930 in Edinburgh, Scotland. 

According to WIKIPEDIA: 

In 2004, a poll in the UK Sunday Herald recognised Connery as "The Greatest Living Scot" and a 2011 EuroMillions survey named him "Scotland's Greatest Living National Treasure".  He was voted by People magazine as the "Sexiest Man Alive" in 1989 and the "Sexiest Man of the Century" in 1999. Connery shares the record for the most portrayals as James Bond with Roger Moore (with seven apiece). In June 1965, Time magazine observed "James Bond has developed into the biggest mass-cult hero of the decade".
