Sean Connery is 80. Shaken, not stirred; he's the best.

[Faygo Kid]

He will never act again. He has promised that. Is there any doubt as to just how great he is? Take a moment and listen to this.

1. Thinking of Connery always reminded me of James Bond

Now he reminds me of Darrell Hammond.

2. I most fondly remember Sean Connery from one of my favorite movies as a kid:

I was never a James Bond fan.

3. I will always love him.

He played Count Vronsky opposite Claire Bloom in a BBC television production of Anna Karenina in 1961, a year before he made his Bond debut.
Such yummy perfect casting. (Bloom not so much, in my fantasy life I picture him opposite either Vivien Leigh or Greta Garbo, depending on my mood.)

AND I saw him once at a little restaurant in London. He bolted down two dozen raw oysters and left. Honest.
This always adds interest to my fantasy life.
