Cinema's first James Bond Sean Connery brought his distinctive Scottish twang to a wide range of roles, from gangster epics to classic Hitchcock psychodrama.
Here are five of his most memorable screen appearances.
'Dr. No' (1962)
In the first screen outing for British agent James Bond, Connery mixed macho toughness, good manners and grace for a role he would hold in seven films all told -- six official and one made outside the franchise.
In this adaptation of Ian Fleming's 1953 novel, Bond is sent to Jamaica to investigate the disappearance of another agent, leading him to the reclusive scientist Dr. No whose sinister black metal hands are capable of potentially deadly strength.
'Marnie' (1964)
Made at the height of Alfred Hitchcock's fame and helping to expand Connery's repertoire and raise his profile beyond 007, this suspense drama focused on Tippi Hedren as Connery's troubled young bride Marnie whose spiralling psychological state takes them on a disturbing path back to the source of all her problems -- her mother.
