Sean Connery, the Scottish-born actor who rocketed to fame as James Bond and became one of the franchise’s most popular and enduring international stars, has died. He was 90.

Connery, long regarded as one of the best actors to have portrayed the iconic spy, was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II in 2000 and marked his 90th birthday in August. His death was confirmed by his family, who said that the actor “died peacefully in his sleep surrounded by family” in the Bahamas. It’s believed he had been unwell for some time. His last acting role had been in Stephen Norrington’s “The League of Extraordinary Gentleman” (2003).

Connery was an audience favorite for more than 40 years and one of the screen’s most reliable and distinctive leading men. The actor was recently voted the best James Bond actor in an August Radio Times poll in the U.K. More than 14,000 voted and Connery claimed 56% of the vote. Global tributes poured in for Connery on Saturday following news of his death.

Your collective inability to acknowledge this obvious truth makes you all look like fools.

For an untouchable, he was certainly well-liked. Another icon passes on.

Every Los Angeles-class sub should give one...ping...only in his memory.

Well, a witch doctor did bless me once.  I had saved his village.

He said Africa would never allow me to die.

Yes, I suppose I could agree with you ... but then we'd both be wrong, wouldn't we?
