Sean Connery still the best Bond
SUNDAY 24/09/2006 12:43:45
Sir Sean Connery has retained his crown as the best James
Bond of all time.
The star beat competition from Pierce Brosnan, Roger Moore,
Timothy Dalton and George Lazenby in the poll.
The 1964 film Goldfinger, starring Sir Sean, has been named
the favourite of all the 007 movies.
Ursula Andress has been voted the best Bond girl of all time in
the survey for sci-fi and fantasy magazine SFX.
The survey of Ian Fleming`s screen spies put Brosnan in
second place, followed by Moore, Dalton and Lazenby.
The poll of 3,000 readers was conducted in advance of the
release of the new Bond film Casino Royale, starring Daniel
Craig.
SFX Editor Dave Bradley said: "Everyone has their own
memories about their favourite James Bond, characters, and
unforgettable moments from the movies.
"Connery was the quintessential Bond - he was so strong in
the role that even though successive generations in the
meantime have grown up with their own new James Bonds,
Connery is the still the ultimate 007.
"It`s interesting to see Pierce Brosnan coming second,
capturing a place usually held by Roger Moore.
"New Bond Daniel Craig has very tough acts to follow and it`ll
be interesting to see whether his take will stand the test of
time."
The survey was conducted for the next edition of SFX
magazine, out on September 27.
