    Legendary Actor Sean Connery Dies at Age 90

    By

    Sir Sean Connery, the prolific actor, passed away on Halloween Day, 2020 at the age of 90. Connery’s passing is being attributed to natural causes at this time.

    “We are all working at understanding this huge event as it only happened so recently, even though my dad has been unwell for some time,” Jason Connery, his son, said. “A sad day for all who knew and loved my dad and a sad loss for all people around the world who enjoyed the wonderful gift he had as an actor.”

    The Scottish actor is best known for his portrayal of fictional MI6 spy James Bond, starring as the character in seven films. But Connery’s filmography is a long and storied one, including such beloved films as Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, The Hunt for Red October, The Name of the Rose, and Dragonheart. Connery stopped working on films in 2012, with his last live-action appearance being 2003’s The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.

    As with an actor who has worked for so long in the industry, and with so many iconic roles, there has been a serious outpouring of grief. Here is how some have remembered him and celebrated his life:

    Connery is survived by his wife of 45 years Micheline Roquebrune, and his son Jason Connery.

    A reporter by trade, Sara is a lover of horror, sci-fi, and all things pop culture. From indies to classics to even the strangest schlock, all movies and TV shows are fair game. She believes Batman is the most fascinating superhero, and that Silent Hill is one of the best horror franchises ever made (as long as you don't count the movies). Fun Fact: The only movie Sara will not rewatch is The Room -- once was more than enough.
