The Daredevil

Connery is hit no. 17 for me this year. My 2020 Shadow list (which I made before this year started) Kirk Douglas Robert Fyfe Alex Trebek Terry Jones Jimmy Carter Vera Lynn Prince Philip Bob Dole Leslie Phillips Bob Barker Lee Kerslake Stirling Moss Pierre Cardin Javier Pérez de Cuellar Alain Delon Nicholas Parsons John Lewis Jean-Louis Trintignant Olivia de Havilland Henry Kissinger Michel Piccoli Glynis Johns Barbara Walters Jerry Stiller Betty White Murray Walker Morris Perry Loretta Lynn Leon Spinks Nobby Stiles Larry Storch Carl Reiner Sidney Poitier Harry Belafonte Teri Garr Jerry Lee Lewis Willie Nelson Little Richard Larry King James Watson Valery Giscard d’Estaing Tony Bennett Alan Greenspan Gianluca Vialli Mikhail Gorbachev Leonard Fenton Angela Lansbury Jill Gascoine Michael Lonsdale Sean Connery

Gone, James Gone. You only live twice, Mr. Bond, so never say never again. Rest in peace, Sean Connery. I thought he was a brilliant Bond and a brilliant actor. He will be truly missed but his marvellous work will live on for generations to come. Here endeth the lesson.
