Sean Connery is a study in contradiction. Balding, 62, argumentative and reputedely tight-fisted, he is also regarded as one of the sexiest men alive. This biography traces Sean's rise to stardom from the slums of Edinburgh. The book looks at his studying Shakespeare and Shaw in the professional theatre, to the appeal and cash of the movies. After eight years off bit playing, he found his first success with the film "Dr No". The Bond films led onto films such as "The Name of the Rose", "The Untouchables", "Highlander" and "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade". The book draws on the reminiscences of friends and colleagues to create a portrait of one of the world's leading film personalities.

Among European actors Sean Connery is unparalleled in his achievements. Having extended his career from theatrical successes through every genre of film, as James Bond he became the backbone of the most lucrative movie franchise in history.
Born in an Edinburgh tenement, Sean Connery later served time as a milkman, cabinet polisher and art model. He turned to acting on a whim, and early onstage success in South Pacific translated into a TV and movie career. Taking his talents such as The Name of the Rose, The Hunt for Red October and The Rock. His role as Jimmy Malone in Brian De Palma's The Untouchables won him an Academy Award, which many saw as recongnition of a body of superlative screen creations over twenty years.
Connery family members, friends and co-stars have contributed to this celebrated and intimate biography, the first major work on Connery, which has now been brought completely up to date.
"An authoritative, extremely comprehensive look at an actor whose enormous success as James Bond has obscured much about him." (Irish Times)
