FAREWELL, SIR SEAN CONNERY...

 The news today were devastating...Sean Connery has passed away at age 90. The obituaries and tribute stories are pouring in. Sean Connery became my boyhood idol ever since I saw him in DR. NO and his portrayal of agent 007 proved to be the definitive template for the series. But Connery's achievements didn't stop there. He was a consummate actor who turned out many unforgettable portrayals in now classic films like MARNIE, WOMAN OF STRAW, THE HILL, THE ANDERSON TAPES, THE OFFENCE, MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS, THE WIND AND THE LION, THE MAN WHO WOULD BE KING, ROBIN AND MARIAN, THE GREAT TRAIN ROBBERY, OUTLAND, TIME BANDITS, HIGHLANDER, THE UNTOUCHABLES, INDIANA JONES AND THE LAST CRUSADE, THE HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER, THE ROCK, ENTRAPMENT, FINDING FORRESTER, among many others.  His credits, according to IMDb, number 68.  Sean Connery
