Sir Sean Connery - currently being shaken and stirred in a legal battle in Marbella over property sales - has announced that he has retired from acting. The 80-year-old Scot is regarded by many film buffs as the best James Bond ever and reckons that his very favourite Bond movie was From Russia With Love. A Marbella judge is currently investigating irregularities relating to the sale of a house in Marbella owned by Sir Sean during the 80s and 90s.
