He was untouchable. Outlander and Highlander. The man who would be king.
Sean Connery died on Saturday at the age of 90. After the better part of a decade, during which he found his feet as an actor, the beloved screen icon achieved world fame as James Bond, a role he came to despise. He diversified, hit his groove as a superstar in the ‘70s and ‘80s, and eventually graduated into “mentor” roles.
He was honored with an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his work on “The Untouchables” in 1987. He was the recipient of three BAFTA Awards and two Golden Globes. And lest we forget, he was named People Magazine’s first ever “Sexiest Man Alive” in 1989. The periodical doubled-down a decade later, upgrading his status to “Sexiest Man of the Century.”
