A truly great actor who starred in one of the greatest films of all time - Lawrence of Arabia. If you haven't seen it, do so.

He had a fair old innings. Saw Lawrence of Arabia for the first time the other day.

He was excellent in "Jeffrey Bernard is unwell"

RIP dude.

Sad day RIP

Amazing in Lawrence. I do wish he'd never done Troy, though. RIP, sir.

 

[Ceryndrion]

Oh now that really blows.. RIP

 

[Castiel]

Amazed he never won an Oscar for some of his performances, TE Lawrence being one of them.

A truly great actor.

Weird, I was just thinking about this actor and movie today. I thought he must be pretty old by now.

[Von Smallhausen]

Another great sadly gone. Fantastic actor.

 

[Von Smallhausen]

He and the late great Richard Burton were good friends. I bet they were heavy duty.

 

[benneh]

Ah man. That's a real bummer. I've been on a Peter O'Toole bender lately :[.

Good films - sad times.

He once said he went for a drink in Paris and woke up in Corsica.

And on another occasion him, Reed and Richard Harris were in a bar in the US. They wanted a late drink but the owner said it was too late so they offered to buy the bar at twice the real value as long as they could have a late drink. The owner obviously said yes, they wrote him a cheque, he retired on the proceeds and they got their late drink.

The guy did things in style.
