A great figure that will go down in history. Sad, but glad to know he went in peace.

At least he was with his wife and comfortable, looking at the ocean off the Bahamas…

Lots of interesting and lesser-known details, from a site generally known for its conservative reporting...

My favorite "non-Bond" Connery film is The Offence (1973), directed by Lumet and a grim, ripping role that showed Sean's acting range went far, far beyond vanquishing supervillains.

Born to a hardscrabble life in Edinburgh in the bygone era of 1930, perhaps that sheds some light on his unfortunate remarks about slapping women.

Later on, I would howl with laughter when Connery was played by Darryl Hammond on Saturday Night Live's "Celebrity Jeopardy."  The first of that long-running skit is embedded in the article below, but as years passed, Hammond's Connery got better – even saltier and more hostile to Trebek.

RIP, RIP.
