Connery was a relative unknown when cast as Bond, though he had appeared previously in the Disney film Darby O'Gill and the Little People. By the end of his Bond career, his salary for one film amounted to $1.25 million -- a world record paycheck for an actor at the time.

When Sean Connery retired from the role of Bond after You Only Live Twice, the producers found Lazenby, an Australian model and actor, to replace him. Disagreements with the producers led Lazenby to decide while filming On Her Majesty's Secret Service that he didn't want to play the role more than once. Connery returned as Bond in 1971's Diamonds Are Forever.
