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

also confirmed the news. He was the epitome of the suave but dangerous spy with a license to kill and the authority to flaunt his famously hairy chest in the process.The legion of diehard Connery fans would adamantly insist that no one else could truly be referred to as Mr. Bond, not even the actors who followed in Connery’s footsteps .

"The moment Sean Connery introduced himself as Bond, he became the man all men wanted to be and all women just wanted," Spielberg said. After transitioning into acting, it took nearly eight years of bit parts before the aspiring actor would appear in his first leading role opposite Lana Turner in 1958's"Another Time, Another Place,"Three years later, he appeared in"Dr. No," first uttering the immortal 007 introduction,"Bond, James Bond," while lighting a cigarette in black tie after winning a hand of casino blackjack.

With his clothing, cars and women, Bond was an immediate culture changer in depressed post-war Britain and worldwide. The role earned Connery a best supporting actor Oscar at age 57. “Patience truly is a virtue,” Connery said during his acceptance speech. Connery's celebrity came with controversy: During a 1987 TV interview, Connery held his ground on past inflammatory comments about striking a woman"if it merits it ... I think it's absolutely right."

Lori Loughlin begins 2-month prison sentence in college admissions scandalBREAKING: Actress Lori Loughlin has reported to federal prison for her role in college admissions cheating scandal, officials say. Bullshit slap on the wrist sentences. This is laughable. 2 months in a nice comfy cell. Should have just gave her house arrest if you going to give her 2 months. You don't go to a prison for two months, it would be a county jail. Prison is 1 year or more
