Actor Sean Connery Dies at Age 90

Sean Connery, the Academy Award-winning actor famous for playing James Bond, died on Saturday at the age of 90. Connery skyrocketed to fame and fortune in the 1960s as the suave, sophisticated British secret agent 007. Connery eventually went on to appear in other types of roles. He won an Oscar for playing a Chicago cop in the 1987 film The Untouchables. In 1989, he was introduced to a whole new generation of movie fans when he played Indiana Jones' dad in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Sean's son, Jason Connery, says his father was "unwell for some time" -- and Sean had a lot of his family with him in the Bahamas when he died.
