| AFI Lifetime Achievement Award to Sir Sean Connery |
| Date Aired: |
June 2006 |
| Harrison: |
Award Presenter |
| Summary: |
The awardee needs no further presentation and in 2006 the AFI chose to honor one of the silver screen's best and most durable icons. Sir Sean may be best known as Bond, James Bond and Indiana Jones' dad, but he's played a wonderfully wide variety of characters over the years - and managed to shine in all of them. Colleagues over close to 50 years gathered to honor an exceptionally versatile professional - still on the A-list in his eight decade and one of the very few who can retire and instantly be back on that list whenever he chooses. |
