Since I do not listen to the news, as they are mainly constant negative ones, I thank you Mairiuna for letting me know about the departure of Scottish beloved actor, Sean Connery.
Always sad when a thougtful and loving soul departs. My prayers are with him and loved ones.
Things and lives end but memories last for ever…
My personal favorite Connery film, other than the Bond’s series is The Last Crusade with Harrison Ford.
We surely all agree, as shared in the medias, that he left an ‘indelible mark on the film community and each of our lives. We must learn from the man himself and live with as much joy and happiness as he did.’
His complete filmography is available on Wikipedia.
