Product details


Product Description

Product Description
He is one of the world's few true superstars. The screen creator of James Bond has commanded some of the highest fees in Hollywood and is lauded by critics and public alike. In July 2000, his unique contribution to the world of film was recognised when he was accorded a knighthood. John Parker traces the astonishing rise to stardom of a tough street kid from Edinburgh. The part of 007 became a monster which threatened to kill Connery as an actor. He escaped to establish himself as one of the world's most versatile and highly-paid character actors, winning an Oscar for his part in The Untouchables. The author has drawn on reminiscences of famous friends and colleagues, including Honor Blackman, Robert Hardy and Eric Sykes, to create an authoritative and entertaining portrait of one of the most talented and complex actors.

About the Author
John Parker has been a writer and journalist all his working life, in a career that has taken him from local newspapers to Life magazine. He spent 20 years in Fleet Street and his books include a biography of Jack Nicholson, the bestselling King of Fools, a biography of the Duke of Windsor and the widely praised Five for Hollywood, a study of the movie industry of the 1950s.

Inside This Book (Learn More)
First Sentence
The chances of Sean Connery ever making it even to the bottom rung of the ladder to film stardom were slight, and if he surmounted that hurdle any bookie his paternal grandfather used to run for would still have given astounding odds on him becoming what Steven Spielberg described as one of the top five actors in the world. Read the first page
