🎥 Sir Sean Connery's family set up foundation in his memory two years after death:
Sir Sean Connery's family have set up a multi-million-pound foundation to help Scottish charities two years after his death.
"Above all, Sean believed that education was a force-multiplier and was most concerned that children from disadvantaged backgrounds, like his own, be given opportunities to succeed. Sir Sean's son Jason said: "My dad’s career in the film industry happened by accident and changed the trajectory of his life. Discovering the crafts and trades of film-making, beyond acting and directing, should not be reserved only for the rich, well-connected or lucky ones."
