James Bond is so vain, he boldly
tried to talk a young Carly Simon and her sister into a three-way romp, the
singer claims about the original movie 007 Sean Connery.
In her new memoir, “Boys in the
Trees,” Simon claims that in 1965, when she was 20, she and her 22-year-old
sister, Lucy, met Connery aboard the SS United States traveling from England to
New York.
The sisters became friends with
the then-35-year-old actor, and after having drinks with him one night, met him
in his cabin.
There, he proposed having the
ménage-à-trois — or as one of Carly’s friends called it, a “Simon sisters
sandwich,” the book says.
They turned him down.
Lucy, however, spent the
following night with Connery, who was married to actress Diane Cilento at the
time, and didn’t come back until 5:15 a.m. the next day, Carly Simon writes.
