⊙ Quote of the Day: Aging Gracefully

More than anything else,

I’d like to be an old man with a good face, like Hitchcock or Picasso.

- Sir Sean Connery -

This quote by Sir Sean Connery, who passed away on October 31, 2020, reflects his desire to age with grace, much like Alfred Hitchcock or Pablo Picasso. He likely meant that in addition to physical appearance, he aspired to embody a life well-lived, full of character and personality.

Although Connery is best known for his suave portrayal of James Bond in the 007 franchise, he is equally memorable for his distinguished roles in films like Highlander, The Untouchables, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, The Hunt for Red October, The Rock, and The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.

After watching the recent release of Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, I wish he had lived to make the last Indiana Jones movie with Harrison Ford, who is now over 80 years old.
