My first favorite actor! Cooler than the other side of the pillow....... this has actually bummed me out.
I'll be that he wanted to be cremated and have his ashes sprinkled into the waters around the Bahamas. Shaken, not stirred, of course.
I actually went to Circus Circus about 4 years ago or so to play that balloon water gun game (and I won). I was eating at the Steakhouse there, not really to go to the circus. But what the hell, it was campy.
Thunderball and Never Say Never Again were based on the same book. Here is Connery playing it in the "game" scene"
One of my favorite Easter Eggs in Dr. No: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portrait_of_the_Duke_of_Wellington
He lived to be 90, so that's a pretty good run. I actually looked him up a month or so ago because I watched The Rock and I realized that I hadn't really seen him in a long time. He dropped out of the public eye in the early 2000s and nobody had really seen him in a while. He actually made a public appeared recently when he turned 90 and he very much looked his age. I had a feeling he probably wouldn't live a lot longer but it's still very sad. He was definitely one of my favorite actors of all time.
