London: Sean Connery made some rather outrageous demands before signing for his iconic role as James Bond in the third installment of the British franchise ‘Goldfinger’.
The 83-year-old actor ensured to maintain his A-list status by demanding that his name, at any promotional material, was 25% bigger than any other cast members name. The contract also stated that Connery would be given star billing in first position above any artwork.
The revelation came into light after a rare copy of the contract titled ‘Billing guarantee: Sean Connery’, between the actor’s management company Inforex, and the company which was responsible for worldwide distribution of ‘Goldfinger’ promotional material, was sold by a private collector in California, which is now expected to be sold for 1000 euros at International Autograph Auctions sale in London.
