Sean Connery, who defined the role of 'James Bond' for a generation, dies at 90

 


Goodnight, Mr. Bond.

Villain Auric Goldfinger uttered that line in the 1964 James Bond classic "Goldfinger,"before leaving Sean Connery’s Bond to die a certain death. The suave 007 managed to escape, of course, playing Bond seven times after debuting as the first Bond in 1962's "Dr. No."

The Oscar-winning Connery died at age 90, family spokesperson Nancy Seltzer confirmed to USA TODAY Saturday.

"His wife Micheline and his two sons, Jason and Stephane have confirmed that he died peacefully in his sleep surrounded by family," Seltzer said. "There will be a private ceremony followed by a memorial yet to be planned once the virus has ended."

Producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli said they were “devastated by the news.”
