Picture Trivia

          Do you know that in 1972, when Sean Connery said he would no longer appear in film as James Bond, the role of British Agent 007 was offered to Clint Eastwood? Eastwood, however, declined saying the role of James Bond is appropriate only to a British actor. He instead did the film Joe Kidd that flopped in the box office.
