Sean Connery outlived all of them, those great British actors who came to such prominence in the early Sixties: Richard Burton by decades, Peter O’Toole by a few years, Albert Finney last year. And his fame never receded because the Bond franchise just kept keeping on. He turned himself, partly as a consequence of it and partly through sheer monolithic talent into the biggest kind of Hollywood movie star, almost archaic in his grandeur and irreducibility.
