Broccoli Pays Tribute to Connery

June 9, 2006

JAMES BOND producer BARBARA BROCCOLI hasn't forgotten SIR SEAN CONNERY - she has taken out a full page ad in today's (09JUN06) edition of Hollywood trade paper Daily Variety to congratulate the original 007 on his latest honour.

Connery, who played superspy Bond in seven movies, was presented with the American Film Institute's (AFI) Lifetime Achievement in Hollywood last night (08JUN06).

And Broccoli didn't want the occasion to pass without celebrating the Scot.

In the ad, which featured Connery as 007, Broccoli wrote, "Sean, it all began with you. Congratulations on your well deserved Lifetime Achievement Award."
