The other good Bonds and Bond films aside, there was, after all, only one true founding James Bond in the most popular, famous movie franchise: Sean Connery. Obit: Halloween, 2020 at age 90.
And what Bond treats he left us with:
-Dr. No (1962)
-From Russia with Love (1963)
-Goldfinger (1965)
-Thunderball (1965)
-You Only Live Twice (1967)
-Diamonds Are Forever (1971)
-Never Say Never Again (1983)
The epitome of the James Bond character: suave, debonair, witty, charming, clever, imaginative, determined, dedicated, and very focused. He will sorely be missed by Bond fans globally.
