Shake me up Judy Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Great, great actor. His performance in Lawrence of Arabia, whatever the accuracy of the film, was inspired. It's been a terrible year for obituaries and we've lost some of the greats. Maybe I'm just getting old, but I can't remember a worse year, when so many people I greatly admired have passed away.

Gladys Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 A great actor. My father often used to muse that having been born in the same city on the same day as Peter O'Toole, it was only an accident of birth that precluded him from playing Lawrence of Arabia. (We didn't like to point out that there may have been more to it.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Border Terrier Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Impossible Dream - The Man of La Mancha. And I can remember him giving Robbie Williams the actors 'stare' on a chat show once when Mr Williams was disrespectful. Could have melted rivets with a stare like that. RIP Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merkin Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Sounds like a lively kind of chap. O'Toole and Peter Finch, the Australian actor and another heavy drinker, were once refused a drink in a pub in Ireland because it was after closing time. The stars wrote out a cheque to buy the pub. The landlord never cashed it and the three became friends. After the landlord's death O'Toole and Finch were invited to the funeral and stood sobbing as their friend was lowered into the ground only to realise that they were at the wrong funeral – their friend was being buried 100 yards away.

Shake me up Judy Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Jeez, those bad guys. It's a good job there's some decent people and dogs like Lassie still out there. Nice that the kid's dad got a job; that's good too and creates employment in the Highlands. Sounds a great movie. Thanks T.J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
