Sean Connery is DEAD TO ME!

Correct link

Trying AGAIN

He had a hot ass pooshy but he couldn't live forever.

Definitely shaken.

Fuck!

I loved him, may he RIP.

This man regularly beat up his wife when they were married.

Scum.

He had lots of weird disputes with his neighbors.

I’ll still see you in hell, Trebek!

Don’t look at me!

He was only 90? Just a wee babe.

Tso Yung.

He was as sexy as fuck. My favourite story is when a golf friend asked him about his best celebrity fuck. Sean’s answer- “1963. Petula Clark. Up the arse” The jury is still out about his views on hitting women.

Last movie was shitfest League of Extraordinary Grntlemen. Think that had something to do with his throwing in the towel.

Beefcake Tommy.

He gave me my first onscreen kiss in Entrapment, when I was just 16 years old.

The weird dispute with his downstairs neighbor was made weird mostly by the neighbor, who kept filing lawsuits saying "He doesn't look like James Bond anymore" and claiming he caused a plague of rats. When it was clear Connery didn't live in the condo, the neighbor started suing his son Stephane instead. The suits are still going I think, something like 18 years later.

R14, So did Lana Wood during filming of "Diamonds are Forever".

He’s only got one life left now.

I never understood why people thought he was good looking. I wonder if he smoked or drank - how did he last until 90?

[quote]The jury is still out about his views on hitting women.

He said he hit women. He said it was ok to hit women.

His wife said he hit her.

GUILTY AS FUCK.

R12, That was years before Pet went "Downtown".

He aged very well.... better then most actors his age.....best bond ever....however he was physically abusive towards his wife..

Bump for original thread

Prime.

I saw "Goldfinger" when I was 12 and knew I was gay.

His shirtless scenes were always a guilty pleasure.

This is Connery telling Barbara Walters how it's ok to assault women, because women bring it on themselves and know what they are doing.

He's a cunt.

"The jury is still out about his views on hitting women."

He told Barbara Walters he did, she was outraged...Shelley Winters said on another talk show that Connery was kidding. Guess he smacked her too.

Wife beater. Buh-bye.

^^^ text was:

See, all you have to do is wait a while, Goldfinger.

[quote]...Shelley Winters said on another talk show that Connery was kidding.

That Scottish sense of humor.

I didn't like how they tried to "prettify" him as the Bond movies went on, it gave him a drag look.

He'd said the same stuff in the 1960s and no one batted an eye, R27. In fact, it was encouraged. I'd bet nearly every male star of his era felt roughly the same way he did, they were just smart enough not to say so out loud. Domestic violence was acceptable well into the 1970s.

I chuckled at you defending all of womankind while calling Connery a "cunt," by the way. Can't get any Dataloungier than that.

R22, Petula Clark has been famous in the UK since she was a child star in the 40s. She made a lot of films and had a successful recording career in the UK and France well before she was known in the USA. And she got fucked up the arse by Sean Connery.

Pet was schooled in the ways of love by a Frenchman so it's not hard to believe as a story.

HIs son, Jason, used to be the bomb. Now, not so much.

The artist Richard Demarco painted Connery many times as a young man. He called him “too beautiful for words, a virtual Adonis".

His wife Micheline used to be gorgeous but got very odd looking in her old age. The wig with the faux roots reminds me of Madonna.

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

His Oscar went to best terrible accent in The Untouchables.

R40, why did he do it?

Adonis? He wasn't really, though. He had sex appeal. The eyes had it but he was always rather worn, even in youth.

Died in the Bahamas, where it might not be better after all.

[quote][R40], why did he do it?

Because he was a violent and controlling psychopath and didn't want his wife having a successful career that took attention away from him.

That Barbara Walters interview is funny. Didn't expect the ending at all. First comment "What people don't know is that Connery was half Native American - his father was from the Smackahoe tribe." 🤣

Sad last days...

So are all these threads just going to be this one lady screaming at us that we should be cancelling this dead guy because he hit his wife? He's dead honey, you're safe from the evil Scotsman now, you can calm down.

For being a board that's nothing but wall-to-wall bitching about SJWs and cancel culture, we sure have a lot of threads with people determined to cancel the celebrity in question.

Basically a horrible man. He also claimed to be republican and supported Scottish independence, from his Caribbean tax haven, but insisted the Scottish National Party, which he contributed to financially, put him forward for a knighthood of the British Empire (all UK political parties with elected MPs can put names forward). They did it, despite their policy of never applying for British honours. The UK establishment granted it with wry amusement, as he came and knelt before the Queen.

Connery married Diane Cilento the year Doctor No came out. The following year she was nominated for an Oscar for Tom Jones.

He would hated her for stealing his limelight.

So you’re saying jealousy, r45?

So handsome manly man. The only real 007. RIP.

Understood r50, thanks.

The sexiest lips.

And Connery never travelled to Scotland to promote Scottish Independence because he would have had to pay more tax.

The Scottish Nationalist Party also gave Brian Souter a knighthood, the man who gave them millions and bankrolled them for years, and spent millions on attempting to keep anti gay laws in place. Wife beaters or homophobes, provided you give them cash, the SNP can overlook their principles.

There's a touch of Sylvia Miles at r39 as well.

Ah yes, the DL celebrates the life of another dearly departed film legend.

Didn't he once admit to having technically raped women at times in his life? Not really violent rape, but forcing women to let him have sex with them against their wills.

R14 Brigitte Bardot had him

A prematurely bald flabby pudding of a man. Never understood his appeal as a male or an actor. Only became famous because homohobe Ian Flemming wanted to fuck him and fancied himself a manly stud and thought Connery would portray that well on screen.

R61 super snob Fleming was disgusted that an uncooth Scottish brute was cast as his upper-class Bond.

Connery wore a kilt when he was knighted by The Queen.

Honor Blackman criticised him for accepting a knighthood when he didn't pay taxes in the UK.

Cunt Seannery

Alex Trebeck is laughing today

He liked the romance of Scottish independence but didn't want to pay for it. He was also perfectly happy to accept a British knighthood. I think his hatred of women stemmed from the fact that he was secretly gay.

[quote] Not really violent rape, but forcing women to let him have sex with them against their wills.

So not rape rape.

[quote]uncooth

Nice.

Double O No! :(

I would like to know where these claims come from that he beat women. An article ? A viable source? Because we know the lies of some crazy pseudo-feminists on DL. Without sources, I don't believe a word of it just because some say so

Connery with his first wife Diane meeting the Queen.

We know

[Quote] the fact that he was secretly gay.

Strange that even on a gay website, domestic abuse gets blamed on homosexuality.

R71 - if you read this thread, he said he beat his first wife in a Barbara Walters interview. That wife confirmed it.

[Quote] Diane Cilento revelled in the warmth of the Spanish evening sun. Surrounded by the cast and crew of the movie her husband Sean Connery was shooting in Almeria, she drank freely, and laughed and danced with other guests into the small hours. For the actors, the invitation to a local wedding was a chance to let off steam after a long day’s filming, but for Diane the celebration was a welcome change from hours waiting for Connery to return from the set of The Hill.

[Quote] Towards the end of the evening, she sought out her husband of three years - by then world famous as James Bond - and went up to their room to find him. ‘I was a bit drunk,’ she recalls, talking about the incident fully for the first time, but she could never have expected what came next. Connery was waiting for her. ‘Once inside our room in the darkness, I felt a blow to my face and was knocked to the floor and passed out for a few seconds. Then I was screaming, we were both shouting. I got to my feet and tried to fight back, but another blow sent me flying.

[Quote] ‘I managed to get through the bathroom door and locked myself in. I spent the rest of the night sprawled on the bathroom floor, covered with towels, whimpering.’ Connery went to bed without a word.

The loser attacked her in the dark, without a word of provocation.

So many anal retentive cunts in most obit threads and they are those cunts who complain incessantly about loneliness, depression and suicidal thoughts. And they wonder where do all this shit in their heads come from. No drugs can cure you, cunts.

Are you saying Miss Connery’s behavior wasn’t terrible, r78?

Connerys finest moment was all that masculine wrangling with Robert Shaw.

R39 He was married to that? She looks like Sylvia Miles.

Not flattering.

RIP James Bond. Still watch your movies regularly.

R29 Is that the funny 'locker room humor'?

It might be one of those cases where you just enjoy him on screen even though he was a very flawed person.

Spacey, anyone?

[quote] I would like to know where these claims come from that he beat women. An article ? A viable source? Because we know the lies of some crazy pseudo-feminists on DL. Without sources, I don't believe a word of it just because some say so

The academy award nominated actress Diane Cilento, Connery’s ex wife, said Connery beat her unconscious and was controlling and both physically and emotionally abusive towards her.

There are countless links to her words in this thread but you would rather call an abused woman a liar.

Cunt.

Has Tom Hardy commented?

He also had a fling with Zsa Zsa Gabor years ago.

R85 If you read Cilento's garbled 400 page memoir she admits both of them were getting a bit crazy during the Bond days and she also behaved badly.

One of the biggest stars in history; might have done some child sexual abuse though. Of course having safe sex was much more complicated before contraceptive pill and then internet pornography, different times, so much unsafer also regarding sexual assault. It's bad to blame so much on child abuse, but part of his anger, problems, ambition and talent as a movie star might have come from having been sexually abused as a child. Blamed the English for the poverty of his family.

He seemed very insecure but that’s no excuse to overpower a much smaller, slighter person.

Connerys dispute with a neighbor was due to renovations of a Manhattan condo that went on for many years. The owners of the condo below sued for damages and injuries.

I sort of agree r20. I was too young for the James Bond series he was in, so I kind of lean towards Roger Moore. Roger Moore has that classically English look - tall, blonde, fine features, and those crystal blue eyes. Sean Connery was completely different - ruggedly handsome, macho type of sensibility to that of Roger Moore. They were two different types of men, on screen at least. I think the strong Scottish accent really came to define him in the public's mind.

I liked him as James Bond but he had some other memorable roles that I remember: "The Man Who Would Be King" with Michael Caine, "Indiana Jones & The Last Crusade ("Junior!"), "The Untouchables" and "Robin & Marian" with Audrey Hepburn.

He was good providing the voice of the dragon in Dragonheart.

It's interesting that he took up with two women who already had children - Diane Cilento and Adrienne Corri. I think it's rather cruel to bond (no pun intended) with a child and then fuck off out of their life, especially Cilento's daughter.

R81 - Diane Cilento was quite pretty in her day.

Sexy Cilento.

The hair kills me!

Corri was striking as well.

What the hell happened to Jason? He inherited his father's lack of hair.

RIP Sean Connery, my favorite OO7.

[quote]He also had a fling with Zsa Zsa Gabor years ago.

That must be where she learned to slap a bitch.

"Because we know the lies of some crazy pseudo-feminists on DL."

Guess you'd rather side with MRA loons and incels on the right who hate gays

"Goldfinger", "Marnie" and "Woman of Straw" were all released in 1964.

If you've never seen "Woman of Straw", it's a definite guilty pleasure.

[quote][R85] If you read Cilento's garbled 400 page memoir she admits both of them were getting a bit crazy during the Bond days and she also behaved badly.

"A bit crazy" is taking a pair of scissors to someone's wardrobe when you find out they've been cheating on you or getting so drunk you end up shitting in someone's kitchen sink.

"A bit crazy" isn't waiting in the dark for someone half your size, punching them in the face, hitting them as they try and get away from you so they spent a night locked in a bathroom sleeping on towels. Far from being "a bit crazy", it's domestic abuse, a violent assault, grievous bodily harm, a crime men rightly go to prison for committing.

[Quote]He also had a fling with Zsa Zsa Gabor years ago.

Affair? I think you mean hook-up

He was spotted by an agent in muscle contests who introduced him into the film world. IMO he had natural acting talent

Shelley Winters paid his rent, unbeknownst to him, when he was struggling. He found out and paid her back in mink when he hit it big.

"He was spotted by an agent in muscle contests who introduced him into the film world."

Gay for pay?

Just yesterday watched Another Time Another Place, with Lana Turner and astoundingly beautiful Sean as wartime correspondents in love in London. When he tragically dies she goes to Cornwall and ends up living with his wife and son. Draaaama.

He rarely gave interviews but this one is funny with Dame Edna

What, no Zardoz pics?

R107 Who told you about this event?

[quote][R107] Who told you about this event?

Diane Cilento. Via her autobiography.

R117 Did she tell you about her third husband? And her Karnak?

Diane Cilento looks like Callista Gingrich at R98.

Are you on crack?

[quote][R117] Did she tell you about her third husband? And her Karnak?

Diane loved her third husband but secretly preferred his brother's plays.

Marg was probably making a cunty comment to Diane.

[quote]Corri was striking as well.

Not as hard as me!

I bet dishy Alan Bates treated her better.

Laurence Harvey never laid a hand either.

The daughter who Connery disowned on the right.

Diane's original nose.

With nose bobbed.

Probably one of their earliest shots together, with Connery still looking like a ragamuffin.

He's the one pouting like a starlet.

Jason looks a little like Ron Howard.

Best acting was in The Offense, where he spends the whole entire movie beating a suspected pedophile/murderer, then at the end is revealed as ALSO a pedophile.

YOU'LL never see it, so I didn't hide the spoiler.

Wife Micheline and Sean at their former Marbella home.

A recent video of Micheline. I think she was getting her brows done.

I remember, as a kid, seeing him as the romantic lead, pre-James Bond, in Disney's "Darby O'Gill and the Little People."

I love Darby O'Gill and the Little People. I watch it every St. Patrick's Day

R108, Zsa Zsa claimed it was a romance, which she talks about at 6:40.

Who wouldn't hit Cilento?

Well I guess you have a HEY!

[quote]He was spotted by an agent in muscle contests who introduced him into the film world.

In the 1970s when Arnold Schwarzenegger was told that Connery was once a bodybuilder, he replied that there were lower standards for men back then and that today he couldn't even compete against the women bodybuilders. I always found that funny.

I wonder if that arch-homosexual Joshua Logan personally tested Connery for the UK production of 'South Pacific'?

Arnold doesn't consider any guy lifting clean (sans roids) serious.

Bodybuilding is pretty gay. Wonder if he had a sugar daddy like Ah-nuld did?

Check out the loyalist at R55

58% buddy.

"The Anderson Tapes" is a fun movie to watch, so many NYC/Broadway actors in the cast.

I don't think much of him as a man tbh but I have enjoyed a few of his films. No, I don't want to cancel him. I'll still watch and enjoy his work but certainly when I read the headline the first 2 things that came to mind were his tax dodging and wife beating. He was very private and reclusive though so I've never had any conflict in appreciating his movies. It's only when people are complete hypocrites who hold themselves up as role models that I just nope out of everything about them and that's quite rare in sports and the arts. Now politicians on the other hand.....

I guess R139 puts the "pointless bitchery" in the thread.

He was great in Time Bandits too. Sounds like an asshole though.

RIP Sean Connery, A real man of integrity.

Diane Cilento's troll here needs to STFU, No body cares about your insane rants.

"RIP Sean Connery, A real man of integrity."

What has he ever done that makes you think he was a "man of integrity"?

Whatever happened in his first marriage, his second marriage was successful and, for the most part, happy. He had several non-discreet affairs, but Micheline Roquebrune didn’t let it get to her. Or maybe she did, but she seemed to have the attitude that if you are married to Sean Connery, he wasn’t going to be 100% faithful to anyone, so she didn’t let his wandering eye derail their relationship. It’s a very French attitude, but it must have been pretty crappy for her at times.

R152, The French attitude on display . . .

"François Mitterrand served as the President of France from 1981 to 1995, the first left-wing head of state since 1957. He also holds the record of the longest-serving (almost 14 years) President of France. At his funeral in 1996, his wife Danielle and his long term mistress Anne Pingeot  stood side-by-side at the grave, accompanied by their respective offspring. Although the press made no comment, the existence of his daughter by Anne, Mazarine, was revealed by the popular magazine Paris-Match in 1994, just months before he left office. Mitterrand concealed the fact for years."

[quote] What has he ever done that makes you think he was a "man of integrity"?

Didn’t punch his second wife

[quote]Check out the loyalist at [R55] 58% buddy.

Loyalist?? What a curious phrase. Under the SNP's new hate crime proposals you could be arrested for calling me that.

It's amazing how Scottish Nationalists are so relaxed about the party they love insisting they'll scrap an outdated honours system, yet will nominate two high profile very rich men who give them money, despite one being one of the nastiest anti gay people in the country, and the other being a tax dodging wife beater.

Listing to Scottish politicians herald him as "the world's greatest Scot" and how Scotland is in mourning just made me cringe.

[quote]"Sean will be remembered best as James Bond - the classic 007 - but his roles were many and varied. He was a global legend but, first and foremost, a patriotic and proud Scot - his towering presence at the opening of the Scottish Parliament in 1999 showed his love for the country of his birth."

He loved his country so much he avoided visiting it because it would have meant paying taxes that would have funded schools, hospitals, social services, housing, tackling child poverty.

He may have loved the idea of his country, but he loved being rich more. More Donald Trump than Donald Dewar.

Scotland is a shit hole. Sean was wise.

[quote] Loyalist?? What a curious phrase.

It's not that curious, it quite nicely describes the dwindling band of sectarians who cling onto the British state at all costs despite the obvious and increasing evidence that it is not politically, socially or economically fit for purpose.

[quote] Under the SNP's new hate crime proposals you could be arrested for calling me that.

I live in Ireland so I doubt it

[quote] He may have loved the idea of his country, but he loved being rich more.

We'll have to find someone else to read the Proclamation of Independence then. Ah well.

Tick Tock.

Good riddance to the wife beater.

[quote]I live in Ireland so I doubt it

Ah I did wonder why you used a term used mostly about Northern Ireland Unionists to discuss Scottish Nationalism.

But glad you approve with the SNP ennobling Sir Brian Souter. Unlike Connery he used his wealth for Scotland's benefit - imagine how many jobs he created for through the millions he spent on his anti gay crusade for people opening the nearly 4 million envelopes he sent out in his faux referendum. And don't forget that shortly after one of Souter's enormous donations to the SNP, the SNP government dropped its transport proposals that would have seen Souter restricted in expanding his business.

"Loyalist" would be better described for people like you who accept that kind of nastiness and corruption uncritically.

And as for 58% supporting independence, I'm not surprised considering the shit show going on in Westminster, but like the Brexit campaign, their economic proposals are pure fantasy. When you have elected members of Parliament arguing that currency doesn't matter because she used her credit card on holiday in Mexico you know that they're winging it.

It's not like the histories of Ireland, especially its northeastern corner, and Scotland aren't very closely intertwined.

It seems to me like rejoining the world's biggest trading bloc seems like sound economic policy, and staying lashed to the corpse of the UK state, now heading at full speed towards a 'no deal' scenario, rather less so., but perhaps you have some sort ofadditional expertise in the matter?

I don't particularly care much about Brian Souter. The Keep the Clause the campaign was twenty years ago buddy, all his posters got vandalised and no-one participated in his 'referendum'. Time to move on and dare I say get over it. Or you can stamp your feet and spit and scream as the tide inexorably rolls in.....

An Irishman and a Scotsman had an argument over what country was a bigger shit hole...

I feel like I’m talking about a Trump who accomplished a pretend something (with a lot of staff) while being very good looking.

Sean Connery and Ian Fleming were bad for stupid people; fantasies sold to twelve-year-old boys trapped in aging bodies. You may not have capital, education, or skill but you may treat every encounter as a test of wills.

[quote]It seems to me like rejoining the world's biggest trading bloc seems like sound economic policy, and staying lashed to the corpse of the UK state, now heading at full speed towards a 'no deal' scenario, rather less so., but perhaps you have some sort ofadditional expertise in the matter?

You're sounding like Farage.

IT WILL ALL BE OKAY DON'T WORRY WE WILL GET WHAT WE WANT is not a credible economic policy and neither is WHATEVER HAPPENS IT WON'T BE AS BAD AS WHAT WE HAVE NOW JUST TRUST US.

Donald Trump claiming his good friend Sean Connery helped him get permission for his golf course to be built in Scotland.

This was hugely controversial at the time. Alex Salmond, the disgraced sex pest who was First Minister at the time, overruled the local council's decision to refuse planning permission. The decision came a month after Alex Salmond and Trump met in New York.

Three habitual abusers of women greasing each other's palms.

CUNTS.

R163 you have accurately described the degeneration of Westminster's trading and economic policy:

- Of course Europe will give us a much better deal! - OK, Europe are being a bit difficult but we just need to call Merkel and she will give us a great deal! - OK, Merkel isn't playing ball but we can get German car manufacturers to put pressure on her - OK, actually all those manufacturers are leaving our country but we can get a great deal with the US - What, Pelosi won't agree a deal unless we respect the Good Friday Agreement? Ummmm..... ok, but surely we can still cut a deal with Europe - Ummm, who needs a deal? Australia doesn't have a deal! We never said there would be a deal anyway!!!!

If you are pro-British it must be so dispiriting to watch the smoking ruins of your arguments about economics, and your credibility.

Meanwhile the EU have made it very clear they will welcome Scotland back into the world's richest and most stable trading bloc. So yes, we will get what we want in that respect, and you won't be British any more.

[quote][R163] you have accurately described the degeneration of Westminster's trading and economic policy:

That was my point. Scottish Nationalists are aping the Brexiteer argument.

[quote]Meanwhile the EU have made it very clear they will welcome Scotland back into the world's richest and most stable trading bloc. So yes, we will get what we want in that respect,

And there you are are again. WE WILL GET WHAT WE WANT. Pure delusion that the other countries struggling with their own independence movement will give Scotland whatever they ask for.

And Scotland's economy is dependent on exports to England, Wales and Northern Ireland, so while being in the EU brings its benefits, Scotland's main trading partner will be outside of the EU. And Scotland still haven't decided on a currency to use.

I despair at the Westminster government and the lies its grievance nationalists have told about the benefits of being outside of the EU, which is why I despair at the lies that Scottish Nationalists tell about the success they'll have outside by leaving the UK.

But like the Europeans just want the the UK to fuck off and leave, I'm at that point with Scotland now. The Scottish government is as corrupt and inept as the Westminster government - see the proposals for the hate speech law and the cover up over Salmond's abuse of women - but good luck to Scotland when it finds out that its as shit outside the union as it was inside it.

Salmond was found not guilty by a jury of his peers, but that appears not to matter to you.

Regarding the EU letting Scotland back in, they have stated so at the highest level in the strongest possible terms consistent with diplomatic standards (see below).

Mate, you are stuck in the misconception that England is still important. It's a mid-ranking European country, if that which is in the middle of a catastrophic decline. It is not essential to the EU, it is not essential to Scotland, and it's not even particularly attractive to the US. After Brexit and the break-up of the UK are settled, England will be below Poland in terms of global power and status.

[quote]Mate, you are stuck in the misconception that England is still important.

You're wrong - England is doing itself a huge disservice with its current government. But you seem stuck with the misconception that Scotland is better. It's not, it's as shit as England. Look at Covid - the Scottish government's record on Covid deaths in care homes is worse than England. Sturgeon's government covered up the outbreak at the Nike conference.

The English government currently blame their woes on the EU, Scotland blames its woes on England. That's what nationalists do. They blame others.

But good luck to Scotland when it fucks off and finds out that independence isn't the utopia it was promised and that they don't get everything they insisted would just be given to them because they said it would happen.

Watch this video and tell me if you really think this elected member of the Scottish Parliament knows what she's talking about, or if she's as full of shit as Farage and co.

For fuck's sake, leave your bloody political arguments for another thread. This thread is about Sean Connery.

Sorry R169

R168 you found a backbencher saying a dumb thing? Hold the front page!

An independent Scotland won't be a utopia any more than any independent country is. But, it will have the ability to take its own decisions and order its society in a way that conforms to the democratically expressed preferences of its people, something that it is not able to do now.

Yes, let's get back to Sean's wife beating.

I've never watched Entrapment - did Connery and Zeta's characters get it on in the film or was there just simmering sexual tension?

The 39 year age gap seems incredibly inappropriate.

^IT WAS A 55 YEAR AGE GAP, YOU CUNT.

[quote]Whatever happened in his first marriage, his second marriage was successful and, for the most part, happy. He had several non-discreet affairs, but Micheline Roquebrune didn’t let it get to her.

He had a long running affair with British singer-songwriter Lynsey de Paul in the 80s, which de Paul was later said to 'terribly regret'. No word on what Micheline Connery thought of the whole thing.

I wasn't aware that his son Jason was once married to Ferris Bueller actress Mia Sara. Their son Dashiell is now an actor, and has an interesting Ig feed - he also looks a lot like his mother imo. Mia went on to marry another showbusiness son, Brian Henson, whose father founded The Muppets.

[quote]He had a long running affair with British singer-songwriter Lynsey de Paul in the 80s, which de Paul was later said to 'terribly regret'.

From De Paul's wiki page:

[quote]De Paul did not marry. She was romantically involved with Dudley Moore, Chas Chandler, Roy Wood, Ringo Starr, James Coburn, Bill Kenwright, Dodi Fayed, Sean Connery, George Best, Bernie Taupin and David Frost.

She fucked all those men but Connery was the one she regretted? I bet he beat her too.

Just been reading up on Lyndsey De Paul and what a fucking legend!

[quote]She has only spoken once before, some 15 years ago, about her adulterous affair with Connery. The reason she talked about it then was because he publicly condoned hitting women and his first wife, actress Diane Cilento, revealed that he had beaten her during their marriage.

[quote]Lynsey says: "I wasn't aware of Sean's violent side when I was with him, but I was quite horrified when I read that he had said it was OK to hit a woman. And if what Diane said wasn't true, then why has he never denied it? At the time, 49 MPs condemned him in the House of Commons and I couldn't believe that a man I had once had feelings for could behave in such an irresponsible manner. I immediately contacted him and invited him to donate some money to a home for battered women, which he wouldn't do.

[quote]So I did a kiss 'n' tell for money and I gave it to a women's refuge in Chiswick, which kept it running for a year.

QUEEN!

So, he never hit her or was violent in anyway...

[Quote] who wouldn't hit cilento

????

[quote] Donald Trump claiming his good friend Sean Connery helped him get permission for his golf course to be built in Scotland.

What you don’t mention is that the claim is utter nonsense, which the article goes on to explain.

Perhaps Trump’s friend “Jim” is the one who shouted hid support instead of Connery.

R178 He only ever hit Cilento.

[quote]What you don’t mention is that the claim is utter nonsense, which the article goes on to explain.

There are 5 indisputable facts:

1. Connery did make public statements in support of the Trump's golf course that were widely reported at the time.

2. The local council rejected the plans for golf course

3. Alex Salmond, Scotland's First Minister, overturned the council's decision a month after having dinner with Trump in New York.

4. Donald Trump is a liar and a fantasist.

5. Connery, Trump and Salmond have all be accused of physical assaults on women.

On screen, Connery was a man's man with the kind of raw masculinity that was pushed aside in movies in the 1970s. He was the very best James Bond, no one can compare. Roger Moore was way too girly. Of course, after "escaping" Bond, Connery went on to play himself in movie after bad-mediocre movie, with a few exceptions. Off screen he seemed to be the same uneducated asshole he was before his success.

"Didn't he once admit to having technically raped women at times in his life? Not really violent rape, but forcing women to let him have sex with them against their wills."

R59, pretty much ALL straight guys have or have attempted to behave that way from the beginning of time.

R88, I love how people like you prefer to blame the victim!

R182 Name the other women he hit?

He may have never hit any woman, but him publicly saying that it was justified to do so just ain't right.

(Video of his comments in the link.)

R175, George Best was hot as fuck in his prime.

He was living with dementia when he died.

R186 That dementia was sadly visible in a few recent pictures where —I'm sorry to say— he resembled a bobble-head doll.

All the obituaries mention he had two sons, Jason and Stephane. Who was Stephane's mother - Micheline? Was he born after she and Connery married, she was 45 (a year older than him) when they wed.

R187, Most 90 year old men do. I was shocked to see how aged Bob Newhart at 91 looked on today's CBS Sunday Morning profile.

Unless you're Michelin's (ha, ha) nephew, how do you know if he hit her? I know a LOT of French people from that era and she wouldn't say if he DID hit her. He gave her a comfortable life and status.

declasse, n'est pas?

R184: ugh, what an asshole Connery was.

My cousin’s friend who is a stylist to all the BIG names in wife-beating international stars says that Sean developed a speach impediment at the age of twelve when other children caught him pulling turds out of a dead cat for his dinner.

Let’s not torture dead shit-eating wife beaters, K?

Wound you morons up.

I had no idea he was still alive.

Huh.

Elizabeth Taylor said in several interviews that she and Burton would often have knock down drag out fights followed by incredible sex.

Debbie Reynolds said Elizabeth and Mike Todd did too.

No one cares about that fat whore.

Stow it.

R195 Elizabeth and Dick and Debbie and Mike may have had 'knock down drag out fights' but were they 'openhanded slaps'?

Sean used an openhanded slap after plenty of warning and when his partner was a provocative 'bitch or hysterical, or was continually bloody-minded'.

And yet Diane was attacked in the dark with not a word spoken.

Mr. International Sex-Symbol— seen here with wife Mrs National Sex-Symbol.

Diane's daughter looks nothing like her.

Is Gigi family?

With Diane.

Childhood pic.

Diane married Andrea Volpe between 1956 and 1960 and was a star before nabbing the unknown Sean.

I could give a fuck who he hit. He was a hot fucker.

You couldN'T give a fuck, you twit.

Hey, R206: according to Merriam-Webster, they're both correct, you cunt. Hugs.

R195, how did Debbie get into Elizabeth's bedroom to witness that? Liz told her? She got it from her hairdresser or from Photoplay? Elizabeth, Richard, Mike Todd - all alcoholics. I'd be surprised that Richard was able to perform frequently, fight or not.

I could not care less = I care not at all.

I could care less = I care somewhat.

r208

Michael Wilding, probably.

Exactly, R209. So I was right all along.

You care somewhat about who he hit? That wasn't your point, r205.

No, I said I cared not, R212, as in I could not care less. What I said. If maybe I could care, I would have said, I COULD care less.

There's no not in "I could care less," hon.

Exactly, which is why I said I couldn't care less. Hon.

You identified yourself as r205 and anyone can read what r205 wrote... Enough said.

For R208 - Debbie tells the story to Joy Behar - skip to 16:30 mark - she's funny

Diane Cilento was on the cover of “Life” magazine in 1955 (along with Jayne Mansfield, Judy Tyler, Susan Strasberg and Lois Smith) as part of a story on that season’s Broadway actresses. It’s a great photo. At the time, Cilento had garnered great reviews playing Helen of Troy opposite Michael Redgrave in “Tiger at the Gates”.

Sean Connery was one of a kind onscreen, and a favorite of mine. As has been mentioned upthread, I’ve had to disassociate what I’ve read about him offscreen.

Dig the bitchface on the woman in yellow.

R188 - yes, Stephane is the son of Micheline and her first husband. Sean was very close to him.

Jason is the only BIOLOGICAL child of Sean (with first wife Diane).

“Sean used an openhanded slap after plenty of warning and when his partner was a provocative 'bitch or hysterical, or was continually bloody-minded”

Sounds like Connery was a controlling hysterical bitch like most wifebeaters.

r219, the "bitchface" is Lois Smith

R223, Who is favored to win a Tony Award this year.

Judy and Jayne both died in car crashes. Diane and Susan both died of cancer. Lois survives.

Millions of men and women around the world adored Sean Connery for being assertive, aggressive, smart-arse and brusk.

Why should we be shocked if he was the same off-screen?

In her book on sister Natalie, Lana Wood wrote of arriving in Las Vegas to film "Diamonds are Forever" and upon entering her hotel room discovered that Sean Connery was there, the hotel had mistakenly given them the same room.

They had never met before, but that didn't stop them from fucking.

Connie Francis posted this lovely tribute on her FB page:

[quote] I had never met Sean Connery, and the only "connection" between us is that we shared magazine space in 1964 when his third James Bond movie 'Goldfinger' was out at the same time as my forgettable 'Looking for Love'! I was one of the many millions who would look forward to each new outing of the British superspy and, although dismayed when he chose to relinquish this character, came to truly appreciate his outstanding talent in movies like 'The Wind and the Lion,' 'The Man Who Would Be King,' 'The Name of the Rose,' 'The Untouchables' and 'The Hunt for Red October.' Thank you Sean for sharing your gift with us. Sleep peacefully.

r226, you can be "assertive" without being a wife beater

Connery's mother-in-law was a doctor named Lady Phyllis Cilento (1894–1987). The official biography described her medical ideas as "alternative and unorthodox'.

Diane was also kooky and followed Sufism. She used Connery's alimony to build an Egyptian temple in the tropical rainforest called Karnak.

[quote] beat up his wife

Marlon Brando wore wife-beaters and beat up Blanche.

All you 'frauen' upset at one line in Connery's 1980s interview would wet yourself watching this 1966 movie.

He plays a mad failure of a poet who virtually beats his wife, Joanne Woodward. He throws object at her and says all women are useless, sexless hags

R232 must be a Republican if he thinks disliking domestic abuse makes you a "frau"

No, it makes you a human being.

'A Fine Madness' is a lousy movie. Joanne Woodward does nothing and Jean Seberg is as useless as Tippi Hedren.

Resht in Peash.

[quote]Sean Connery alternate Christmas cookies. - Richard Kadrey

R236 More people have mocked Sean's costume in 'Zardoz' than have actually seen the movie.

I believe it. I've never seen it.

'Zardoz' is good in parts. It was made after 'Dune' and '2001' when it was 'de rigueur' to ingest Marijuana and Mandrax at the cinema.

But, seriously, it introduced me and thousands of others to the music of Ludwig von Beethoven.

[quote]R234 Jean Seberg is as useless as Tippi Hedren.

This. Is. DL SACRILEGE!

Sean is holding onto a cute young man there, R237.

I just saw Marnie the other night. Preposterous dated melodrama, but boy did Connery and Tippi Hedren look good. They were fine in their roles. I tried to imagine Grace Kelly as the female lead..she would have been awful, and obviously wasn't available.

R242, The citizens of Monaco protested Grace returning to her film career.

R243, DUH

Remember r244 — Duh spelled backward is Hud.

R242 Marnie was frigid. Even Sean couldn't heat her.

Grace was older than Sean, anyway.

So was Honor.

"Marnie was frigid. Even Sean couldn't heat her."

Frigid is one of those loaded words that means women don't come from Intercourse, which is normal. This broad was scared of any man touching her - completely different.
