Sean Connery: Neither Shaken nor Stirred (Paperback)

~ (Author)

Editorial Reviews

Product Description

From humble beginnings as a milkman and coffin-polisher to one of the world’s biggest box-office names, Sean Connery is one of Hollywood’s all-time greatest success stories. The star of nearly 80 films, Connery is perhaps still best known for his seven performances as James Bond. Indeed, for many movie fans Connery’s 007 is unsurpassed to this day. But how did this working-class Scot come to embody the quintessentially English agent? This definitive biography reveals Connery’s early successes and failures—both personal and professional—and looks at the little-known life behind the cameras. Frank and thorough, this is a complete look at the film world’s classic charismatic hard man.

Should have waited for a more recent book, that included his most recent movies. Easy read, with interesting thoughts from his co-stars and friends (and not so good friends). I have new respect for this person, and not just what he does on the screen. 5.0 out of 5 stars The REAL James Bond, September 9, 2009 By  Carol A. Strohshl "Carol Strohsahl" (Long Island, NY,USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)    I have always enjoyed reading biographies and this one is just as interesting as all the others. It not only tells about Sean from being a baby through adult life with his marriages and children. It also tells of all the movies and plays he was in and the amount of money each earned. Many of his movies I never heard of and now I want to see how he was in them. Sean devised a way to save money from not only the US IRS, but from Englands' tax agency over the years after losing much of what he had saved and also trusting one person with his money. He is living very comfortably now in his older years and is still working.		Ad feedback   Search Customer Reviews Only search this product's reviews
