Document Signed: "Sean Connery", 1¼p, 8½x11, separate sheets. No place, December 11, 1981. Headed: "Billing Guaranty: Sean Connery". Begins: "This Agreement (the 'Billing Guaranty') is entered into as of [date not filled in] between the undersigned and INFOREX CORPORATION, N.V. ('Inforex') for good and valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged with respect to the theatrical motion picture entitled [name not filled in] (the 'Picture')." In part: "Connery shall be accorded star billing in first position alone (except for credit to the undersigned) above the artwork and regular titles in all paid ads…Connery's likeness shall be used therein in a size and prominence greater than that accorded to any other individual. This Billing Guaranty shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the State of California…." In the year he signed this document, Connery (1930-2020) had appeared in two films: Outland and Time Bandits. The following year, he would star in Wrong is Right and Five Days One Summer. In 1983, Connery would return to his best known role, James Bond, in Never Say Never, a self-mocking title relating to Connery's comment that he was through with Agent 007 after appearing in 1971's Diamonds Are Forever. Scottish-born actor Sean Connery (born Thomas Sean Connery in 1930) won the Academy Award and a Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actor for The Untouchables in 1987. Connery, who has appeared in a number of feature films, is best known for his James Bond series, beginning with Dr. No in 1962. Connery next played the dapper secret agent in From Russia With Love (1963), Goldfinger (1964, the film that made him a superstar), Thunderball (1965), You Only Live Twice (1967, when he first swore he was through with the role) and Diamonds Are Forever (1971) before briefly returning as Bond in 1983's Never Say Never Again. Among Connery's other feature films are The Great Train Robbery (1979) and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989, for which he was nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actor for playing Harrison Ford's father). Lightly creased, not at signature. Staple holes at upper left blank corners. Fine condition.
