Netanyahu eulogizes Sean Connery: ‘An iconic actor and a wonderful friend’
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu eulogizes legendary Scottish actor Sean Connery after the end of Shabbat.
Netanyahu writes on Twitter that he and his wife, Sara, “are greatly saddened by the passing of Sean Connery, an iconic actor and a wonderful friend. We will always remember his unassuming charisma and the warmth of his smile. Like millions around the world, we will continue to delight in his unforgettable performances.”
It wasn’t immediately clear how the two knew each other.
Connery, the star of the original “James Bond” films, died at age 90, his family said Saturday. The Oscar-winner was considered one of the greatest movie stars of his generation.
