Sorry to hear that, I did like him. I remember seeing him in Uncle Vanya years ago in Toronto. |

O'Toole, who died Saturday at age 81 after a long bout of illness, was fearsomely handsome, with burning blue eyes and a penchant for hard living which long outlived his decision to give up alcohol. Broadcaster Michael Parkinson told Sky News television it was hard to be too sad about his passing. "Peter didn't leave much of life unlived, did he?" he said, chuckling. A reformed — but unrepentant — hell-raiser, O'Toole long suffered from ill health. Always thin, he had grown wraithlike in later years, his famously handsome face eroded by years of outrageous drinking. (Source - Alli's post) |

O.K. He was made famous with his role in Lawrence of Arabia. Which scene comes to mind that you think was the key one? |

When he came galloping out of the dessert carrying the young fellow who fell off his camel exhausted, When he woke up he was wearing the Arabic clothing provided by Omar Sharif on he was stunningly handsome..... Posted Image |

Best scene? The rape scene. For me his best role was as HENRY II opposite Katherine Hepburn in THE LION IN WINTER. |

My personal favourite of his later movies was The Stuntman. I don't know how it went over outside my family but in our house it got played until it wore out and then the kids bought me another one. It had a great cast beside O'Toole and a fabulous theme. Loads of fun. |

The classic scene from that movie is supposed to be this one. http://www.businessinsider.com/lawrence-of-arabia-lemonade-scene-2013-12 |
