About

HARD TO FIND BOOK, only a very limited number of copies are still
available.
Great
Scot tells the accurate, no-holds-barred life of Sean Connery.
The story takes you from Connery's birth in 1930 in a working-class
district of Edinburgh to the present, where Connery enjoys the
respect of the world as one of the most uncompromising of film
actors.
Sean Connery became an actor almost by mistake when a
friend suggested he answer an advertisement for looking for tall,
athletic extras for the touring stage production of the musical South
Pacific. From there, he gradually built a reputation until he landed
the part of James Bond in Dr No. Determined not to be typecast, he
abandoned Bond after five films, but was twice enticed back.
None the less, he shook off the Bond image and built a career as
an actor of stature. Biographer John Hunter also chronicles
Connery's private life, including his marriages to Diane Cilento and
Micheline Roquebrune, his work for charity, and his political
involvement in his beloved Scotland.
Great Scot is the definitive biography of a figure adored
and admired by cinema-goers he world over: a box of surprises and
delights for fans from Alaska to Zimbabwe.
What people say:
"Journalist
John Hunter
doesn't overstate by giving his tight biography of [Sean
Connery] the title Great
Scot. Few make it out of
the working-class tenements in Edinburgh, from which Connery sprang
in 1930, to make a mark on the world stage." — The
Montreal Gazette
