It was in this show he met Carol Sopel, an actress he dated for some time, as said in Andrew Yule’s Sean Connery: Neither Shaken Nor Stirred.
He dated other women, including Julie Hamilton, daughter of filmmaker Jill Craigie, who, according to Yule, thought he was “beautiful” after seeing him in a kilt.
Sir Sean performed in various theatrical roles before his first film role when he was an extra in Lilacs in the Spring in 1954.
Despite having various roles throughout the 1950s, including in Another Time, Another Place and BBC series Anna Karenina, his big break came as James Bond in 1962.
This was also the year he married his first wife, Diane Cilento, an Australian actress.
