Screen legend Sean Connery’s breakthrough role came as James Bond in 1962’s Dr No.

Connery is regarded as having defined the movie role of Ian Fleming’s James Bond, following his initial appearance as British secret agent 007 in the first of the series.

He appeared in seven Bond films, the last of them, “Never Say Never Again” in 1983, regarded as an unofficial production outside the official franchise.

The Scottish star went on to achieve decades of Hollywood success and was beloved by film fans around the world.

Other notable films from Connery’s stellar career include The Untouchables (1987), Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989) and alongside Michael Caine in The Man Who Would Be King (1975).

Here, Yahoo Movies recounts Connery’s career in pictures.
