News Video: Sean Connery – his last photo moves to tears

Sean Connery passed away over the weekend. The last photo of the screen legend shows again why he took the cinema by storm.

Sean Connery has died at the age of 91 – and the film world mourns the loss of an extraordinary star who made film history for decades. A photo that his daughter-in-law took before his death shows the actor in a private moment – and despite his visible weakness as charismatic as his fans know him.

Screen legend and controversial artist

Hardly anyone managed to captivate moviegoers as much as Sean Connery. The film world owes him not only the birth of the most famous secret agent of all time, James Bond, but also countless other classics such as "The Name of the Rose", "Highlander" or "The Untouchables". In some points, however, Connery was not undisputed – in interviews he vehemently advocated the right that men should be allowed to beat their wives with impunity. Like many artists before him, Connery leaves behind such a complex picture of masterpieces of film history and problematic opinions that make him appear in a less flattering light.
