Aug. 12, 2006 This week's Entertainment Weekly is celebrating Fall films staring with the next James Bond adventure Casino Royale. Since there is a new Bond (Daniel Craig) the issue comes with imaginative covers for each of the previous Bond actor debuts as if EW was there to cover them. So they are not real, okay. The EW staff clearly had fun with the covers trying to present a time capsule of the Bond and pop culture news of the day. I had several observances while checking out them out. Let's start the pop culture time travel tour with Sean Connery
Sean Connery: The First Bond The original and for many the definitive James Bond who appeared in the first five films. He abruptly left the role following You Only Live Twice but later returned for Diamonds are Forever and Never Say Never Again, if you count that one. On the EW cover we see that JFK was a bigtime 007 fan. Of course six months later he was to be assasinated. Also of interest was Jane Fonda known then as the cute daughter of Henry Fonda and long before she became Hanoi Jane.
