I don’t believe Connery is signing anything full stop anymore- I think he now understandably refuses everything (he is 87!)

Sir roger signed anything and everything I think right up until he passed. I’ve never heard of him having any issues with bond stuff. Perhaps this came from him only signing his books at book signings or specific promotional events which I guess is understandable- I also know at his ‘evenings with sir roger’ he generally wouldn’t sign  but that was a blanket policy and they had signed stickers for sale at a booth.

The most famous one is Timothy Dalton who refused to sign any bond items for years after he finished- he was happy to sign anything else though. It’s funny though as I don’t think he necessarily had a negative experience with bond- he was originally ready to make a third film until studio politics got in the way and too much time passed (giving us goldeneye). I suspect he, being a ‘serious’ actor just felt too type cast for a long time. As I understand it he is slowly becoming willing to sign bond shots again nowadays though.

Interesting on the Dalton- (I’d heard the opposite but certainly not definitively or from multiple sources) it seems there’s a growing sentiment amongst some celebrities not to sign photos as I guess they’re rightly assume the majority are going to be sold on- I suppose signing on paper or adding a personalisation is going to be just as good for the true fan and yet also a great way of not giving autograph hounds what they want. It’s actually quite clever I guess. I hadn’t heard that about dalton though- interesting. I do know that authentic signed bond shots of him are few are far between.

and yep that’s in line with the way Moore did those evenings. I do know that he offered pre signed items for sale though.

Too bad theres little knowledge about the supporting cast , most people only know Connery or Moore it seems
