Sean Connery by Michael Feeney Callan – Comprehensive Biography Paperback

Sean Connery by Michael Feeney Callan

Sean Connery by Michael Feeney Callan is an authoritative and extremely comprehensive look at one of the most recognisable actors of his generation. Published by Virgin Books in 2003, this 330-page biography explores the career and life of an actor whose enormous success as James Bond has often overshadowed the wider story of his work.

Connery’s association with James Bond became one of the defining elements of his career, but this book looks beyond the famous 007 image. Michael Feeney Callan examines the actor’s wider achievements and provides a more extensive portrait of the man and performer behind one of cinema’s most enduring characters.

Beyond James Bond

For many readers, Sean Connery will always be associated with the original cinematic James Bond. His enormous success in the role established him as an international film star, but it also created an image that could overshadow other aspects of his career.

This biography is presented as an opportunity to look beyond that familiar image. Rather than focusing solely on Bond, it provides a comprehensive examination of Connery and his work as an actor.

A Substantial Biography

At 330 pages, this is a substantial volume for readers interested in Sean Connery, James Bond and the history of film acting. Michael Feeney Callan’s approach provides an opportunity to explore the career of a major screen actor in considerably greater depth than a simple overview.

The book will appeal particularly to readers who know Connery primarily through his role as Bond but want to discover more about the actor behind the character.
