BAHAMAS–Actor Sir Sean Connery died here Oct. 31, his family has said. Sir Sean died peacefully in his sleep, his son said, having been “unwell for some time.” The Scottish actor was best known for his portrayal of James Bond, being the first to bring the role to the big screen and appearing in seven of the spy thrillers.
He won an Oscar in 1988 for his role in The Untouchables.
MSTies will recall that Joel and the bots compared to his brother Neil (who is still alive, as far as we know) in a host segment in episode 508- OPERATION DOUBLE 007.
The BBC has an extensive biography.

Posted by Sampo, on October 17th, 2020  Bloomington, Ill.–It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing here of Steve Finley, one of the early contributors to Satellite News, on Oct. 16. He was 68.
Steve was one of Satellite News’ earliest boosters, and was the creator of the “Daddy-O’s Drive-In Dirt” section of this site. He had always hoped to update the site, but his diminishing health prevented him from ever doing so. Still, we enjoy the section (in all its 1997-era html glory), and still occasionally refer to it.
He was also one of the founders of the “This Date in MSTory” feature here. The original database he created, listing every cast and crew member from every riffed movie, their birthdays, etc., was the foundation on which the current feature was able blossom and grow.
Steve was an avid movie buff and we would direct you to his Facebook account, where he posted, sometimes several times a week, pieces about vintage Hollywood celebrities. He also quite candidly dealt with his deteriorating health on that account.
Steve was a good friend; I will miss him.
