Just a few months ago, Connery celebrated his 90th birthday, but in recent days, his health took a turn for the worse, according to his son, who noted that the nonagenarian hadn't been well recently. The exact cause of death has yet to be officially released, but according to his son, he died peacefully in his sleep at his Bahamas home.
Connery took Hollywood by storm in the early '60s when he took on the role of James Bond for the first time. "The moment Sean Connery introduced himself as Bond, he became the man all men wanted to be and all women just wanted," Steven Spielberg said. His career spanned decades. His acting roles, though, became fewer and fewer as time went by, as his last appearance on the big screen took place for the film The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen in 2003 (via IMDb).
