On Gibraltar in 1962, actor Sean Connery marries actress Diane Cilento.
Last month, the Scottish actor's tremendous career was honoured after he died at the age of 90 after a lengthy struggle with dementia. Sir Sean Connery, who played James Bond in seven films, brought Ian Fleming's iconic British spy to life and began the Bond brand with Dr No in 1962. Sir Sean and Diane Cilento, an Australian actress, were married for 11 years and had one son, Jason, who is now 57. According to newly discovered reports, Ms Cilento married the singer after multiple rejected offers, and their wedding day was far from the greatest day of their life.
