Following his AFI Achievement Award in Hollywood at the weekend, James Bond producer Barbara Broccoli hasn't forgotten Sir Sean Connery - she has taken out a full page ad in the June 9th edition of Hollywood trade paper Daily Variety to congratulate the original 007 on his latest honour.

Connery, who played superspy Bond in seven movies, was presented with the American Film Institute's (AFI) Lifetime Achievement in Hollywood on June 8th.

And Broccoli didn't want the occasion to pass without celebrating the Scot - reports PR Inside.
