Connery: Bond Needed My Humor

Sean Connery originated the role of James Bond on the big screen, starring in six Eon Productions films and one independent production. He felt the films, such as 'Dr. No' and 'Goldfinger,' injected a much-needed humor and style into the character that was missing from Ian Fleming's novels.

Connery's tenure as Bond spanned from 1962's 'Dr. No' to 1971's 'Diamonds Are Forever.' He later returned for the 1983 independent film, 'Never Say Never Again.' Behind-the-scenes photos reveal Connery on set, often in character, alongside co-stars and iconic elements like the Aston Martin DB5.
