alison and Liz-- you are going to have to fight off my daughter Kate (age 16), not to mention me, for Sean Connery!! I remember him the "way he was" and we both like him better the way he is now..........ooo lahh! Clinton, honey, it ain't the acting ability, it's the APPEAL!! We both LOVE Sam Elliot, and I like Lee VanCleef too, woo hah! Maybe because they all play dangerous men, that are actually safe? Does that make sense?
