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.
