French postcard by Danjaq, LLC and United Artists, 2012. Photo: Sean Connery and Molly Peters in Thunderball (Terence Young, 1965).

Scottish superstar Sean Connery (1930) won an Academy Award, a Golden Globe and a BAFTA Award. He is best known as the original secret agent 007, starring in seven James Bond films between 1962 and 1983. His film career also includes such notable films as Marnie (1964), The Name of the Rose (1986), The Untouchables (1987), and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989).

Molly Peters (1939–2017) was an English actress and model best known for her role as Bond girl Patricia Fearing in the James Bond film Thunderball (1965). In the wake of her 007 stint, Peters acted in two more films and episodes of TV shows and graced the cover of Playboy. Peters had her acting career abruptly cut short after reportedly having a falling out with her agent.

Some people come out unscathed; others feel the image doesn’t represent them.
