Thanks for all the effort to pull this together! It’s such a treat to continue learning new things about people and topics I’ve appreciated my whole life.

re: The Next Man. Connery went on The Tonight Show to promote the film. At the top of the program, Ed McMahon pronounced the actor's name "Seen Connery." Later, when Connery out to talk to Johnny Carson, Connery referred to "your Irish friend here." He didn't sound happy. I only know this because I happened to be watching.

This is something I put together in 2020, not long before Connery's death. Originally, it was a bit of a gag, but the more I worked on it, the more it became an examination of his career. Unfortunately, some of the videos I originally embedded (like a trailer of Zardoz) got yanked. https://hmssweblog.wordpress.com/sean-connery-hairpiece-page/

Happy Birthday to Sir Sean Connery!
A few years ago, I began researching and writing something of a bio about Connery. I started to collect stories, tales and interviews from his film career and his personal life. I didn't realize it would become such a rabbit hole and I would find so many interesting anecdotes. It's filled with behind the scenes stories and quotes from those who worked with him from almost every film he appeared in. along with gossip and random incidents the press reported about him during his life. Researching it became quite a fascinating journey.
So, if you'd like to take a few minutes to remember the man, I'm sharing again this blog I wrote up entitled: Sean Connery - His Life, His Films and Some Gossip.
Cheers Sir Sean!
