Notes on Sean Connery

"He's just one of the best actors there is, simple as that. With Sean, in addition to brilliant talent, there is a persona that every great star has. When Sean's up there on the screen, it's hard to look at anything else." - director Sidney Lumet quoted in Daily Variety, May 5, 1997

"There are seven genuine movie stars in the world today," says Steven Spielberg. "And Sean is one of them. I won't name the others, because some of my best friends wouldn't be among them." - from "All Together, Now: Sean Connery Is an Icon!" in GQ Magazine, July 1989

"They used to say that Sean loved golf, drinking and women - in that order." - Tom Mankiewicz quoted in Daily Variety, May 5, 1997

Knighted by Queen Elizabeth II in July 2000.

Named a Commandeur des Artes et des Lettres by the French government.

Received the Freedom of Edinburgh award (1991).

“Men want to be him, women want him, and in my case I both want to be him and want him.” - Mike Myers joked at the AFI awards honoring Sean Connery with a Lifetime Achievement Award on June 8, 2006
