I have a friend who is a huge Connery fan. He was desperate to get an
autograph from Connery, who is indeed famous for not signing anything.
My pal learned that Connery was filming THE ROCK in the Bay Area, and
actually drove all night from San Diego to San Francisco to try to get
Connery's autograph . He finally got to the Presido area, and somehow
hooked up with Connery. Connery refused to sign. My friend then
explained that he had just driven eight hours to get the signature.
Connery sighed, grabbed the piece of paper, signed it, and gave it back
to him, saying, in that famous voice, "You've got to get a life, son."

I have been trying for a long time to add a Sean Connery autograph to
my collection. As a Bond collector this is something I really want.
Mr. Connery no longer signs autographs and in the past I know that he
has been a reluctant signer which I can understand. I bought one
autographed picture one time and it was a really bad fake.
Certificates of Authenticity are worthless. So anyway the only thing I
feel comfortable with buying is a bank check (personal) or a document.
All the Sean Connery signatures on e-bay are fakes. I have started
liking personal checks which can be matted with a photograph. I wanted
a Danny Kaye signature and secured a bank check from a man that worked
for Danny. It look's great framed with a favorite still. I really like
my Moe Howard check which I got from his daughter for a donation to
City Of Hope.
At my frame shop someone bought a small poster from "Unforgiven" and
it was signed by Clint Eastwood, Morgan Freeman, Francis Fisher and
Richard Harris. My framer said it's real since it had a certificate of
authenticity. I did not have the heart to tell her that the poster was
most likely a fake. That the certificates are worthless.

P.S. I called People Magazine when they were offering autographed
portraits for charity. I thought finally I have a real genuine Sean
Connery signature. But the lady at People Magazine said that he must
be popular since they were quickly sold out. I asked her how many
photographs Mr. Connery had signed for charity. She said THREE!!!
