How Many Co-Stars Did Connery Shag?

If he didn't nail Honor Blackman I'm Miles Davis.

I know.

Lotte Lenya was never the same again.

I thought Claudine Auger was the one he definitely shagged... Weren't there rumors even at the time of the shoot?

I'm pretty sure he shagged Ursula Andress. They ended up becoming an item - not sure when though.

I think it's pretty clear he was banging Jill St.John

Andress and Blackman he was poking too.

The man was a shagging machine.

There was only one that successfully defended herself from his advances.

A quick google search shows that it certainly came up what with the implosion of his first marriage and all.

Pretty sure he rogered Bianchi too. Supposedly he got her the job, sounds awfully similar to how he pulled that designer during an interview.



Legend.

Casting couch. The way the world was won.

Interviews from Cannes '65 with both Sir Sean and Claudine. Who were both there to promote another movie, it seems.

Connery was there for The Hill, Auger for Yoyo, though both interviews (in French or in Connery's case dubbed in French) mostly deal with Thunderball.

Stumbled upon it whilst looking for a source on the Auger & Connery rumors myself and deemed it worth sharing.

Good find!

Connery was still married to Diane Cilento while playing 007. She even doubled for Mie Hama in the swimming from the cave scene in YOLT. Henry Kissinger was banging Jill St. John in 1971.

An online bio says that Connery's known girlfriends include:

Maxine Daniels - singer (mid-1950s)
Carol Sopel -actress (1957)
Julie Hamilton - photographer (1957)
Lana Turner - actress (1958)
Sue Lloyd - actress (1959-60)
Shelley Winters - actress (1960)
Joyce Webber - model (1962)
Lynsey De Paul - musician (mid-1970)

Of course there were rumours that he was sleeping with his co-stars. There are always such rumours (when it comes to Lazenby, however, the rumours didn't do his actual body count justice).

Don't think he was ever with Daniels. He pursued her but she turned out to be already married. Or so I've read elsewhere, anyway.

Well, this was an online source - about as reliable as Wikipedia.

I don't think he was really having an affair with Lana Turner either, although Joe Stompanato - the goomba she was with at the time - thought otherwise. He tried to lean on Sean, and found himself on the floor instead. Muscle and balls being the only things such heavies respect, he backed off and left our man alone after that.

Gotta love Big Tammy.
