Goodbye 007

Post: # 5244Post Tradevman »

Sean Connery died in his sleep overnight. He was 90. I saw my first Bond film at the outdoor theater while stationed at Barber's Point Naval Air Station on Oahu, Hawaii. The film was Goldfinger, which is still my all time favorite, and when Honor Blackman introduced herself as Pussy Galore the entire audience of sailors went berserk. Sir Sean was James Bond, and all the others who played the role were merely imposters.

   I recall Sean Connery said something like, "no more Bond rolls, I want to do other acting."
  He did, sort of, The Hunt for Red October for example.

Then after Connery said he would never play Bond again, he returned for a remake of Thunderball called "Never say Never Again."

I've been a bit sad all morning after hearing this news. Mr. Connery will always be my favorite Bond.

A gorgeous blond leans over and says to Bond.

"I'm Pussy Galore."

After a short pause, Bond smiles slightly and says to himself, "I must be dreaming."
