Mishter Bond

Amidst yet another jumble of mismatched celebrants, including Leonard Bernstein, Elvis Costello, Ruby Keeler, Mel Ferrer, Rob Halford, Van Johnson, Tim Burton, Dorothea Tanning, Billy Ray Cyrus, George Stubbs, Claudia Schiffer, Frederick Forsyth, Michael Rennie, Ivan the Terrible, Gene Simmons, Ludwig I of Bavaria, Joanne Whalley, Martin Amis and Alexander Skarsgård, it is (remarkably) the 90th birthday today of the first, and some say the best, James Bond - Sean Connery!



Voted the "Sexiest Man of the Century” (in 1999), and "Scotland's Greatest Living National Treasure" (in 2011), as well as (for his "James Bond") "the third-greatest hero in cinema history" (in 2003), we once again raise a glass to one of Great Britain's most celebrated actors [and quite the hunk in his heyday].

Many happy returns, Sir Thomas Sean Connery (born 25th August 1930)
