You know Twins, I never want to meet my heroes. I'd always be afraid that they were really jerks.
Many women would not wish old Sean a pleasant rest in the afterlife if they knew about an interview he gave back in the 80s
I'll post the article below, accompanied by a video.

You’re right MB, I had forgotten about his comments about slapping a woman. Thank you for posting the article with a video. I found it interesting, mainly because he wasn't someone I was ever into; the James Bond movies were not my cup of tea.
Men who are abusive to women, feel inferior to strong willed women, so they slap them in order to feel they are in control. Some men don’t feel macho without slapping around a much weaker person; guess they think it makes them a man, when in fact it just makes them an abuser of women.
Here is what Snopes.com has to say about Connery and slapping women:

Yes Twins:
Diagnosed with stage IV pancreatic cancer, one is given a year to live. The chances of living two to five years after diagnoses is less than one percent. Add to that his age and......well
He was on the same treatment as former Nevada senator Harry Reid who has suffered from Pancreatic cancer, also. Both men were in their 80s and both men received the same experimental treatment. Harry Reid is doing well. Last year he looked like a walking dead man. I saw him on TV just last week and he looked remarkably good. Faith plays us differently.

I didn't realize that once you are are diagnosed with Pancreatic cancer, you only have about a year to live.
You are so right in saying that "faith plays us differently"; we never know when our time on this earth is up.

Kiri died this week. She was only 65.
Oh yes, Kiri was a character she played in the movie
The Beastmaster with Marc Singer, as she is seen in the photo below.
Beautiful person. You may know her as Tonya Roberts. She died of a blood infection which was the consequence of a urinary track infection. Ugh
So beautiful, so young, sad.
