More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
From milkman and coffin-polisher to one of the biggest box-office names there is, Sean Connery is one of Hollywood's ? and Britain's ? all time greats. In nearly eighty films, plus stage performances from Shakespeare to South Pacific, Sean Connery made only seven performances as James Bond. Yet for a whole generation of filmgoers, he quite simply is Bond. Ever the inimitable, Connery's 007 is unsurpassed to this day ? but how did this working-class Scot become so totally identified with a public school, womanising, quintessentially English agent? In this definitive biography, Andrew Yule reveals the early hopes and failures ? both personal and professional ? and looks at the little-known life behind the cameras. This is Sean Connery: the straight-talking hard man with a sense of humour and a soft centre, in as charismatic role as he's ever played.

Ok so I made a mistake... I did not check when this was first published... So I am little disappointed it ends in 1992 just before the release of 'Rising Sun'... my fault. I guess its always an issue with a Bio of a living subject, and I would never wish to hasten his passing at all ! I just missed the last 18 years of Mr Connery's life story !!
As to the books contents... while it was indeed a good film Bio (with plenty of gossip on the way, with some waffle) and it did have moments of personal detail, it does not really dig deep into the man himself throughout his life (so far). I felt it skirted various traits that 'maketh the man' and didnt really give us the whole story - hence 3 stars.

The REAL James Bond
9 Sep 2009
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
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.
