R.I.P. Peter O'Toole

[przed]

Very sad today to hear that Peter O'Toole has passed away. He's a performer I adore, not least because he's the star of my very favourite movie of all time, Lawrence of Arabia.



A couple of years ago I put together a Lawrence Pic Spam with all the reasons I love O'Toole in the film. Those reasons still hold true.

Want to watch the movie again!

I just love Peter O'Toole and Lawrence, and now I HAVE to watch the movie again! It's a favorite of mine. Thanks for the wonderful pic spam, loved it too.

Bad months, this month and the last: we lost Lewis Collins, Nelson Mandela and now Peter O'Toole. Very sad, although Lewis' demise is the worst, IMO, because he was definitely too young to die.

Lewis' loss hit me the hardest, but they're all bad.

(I'm also sad about Eleanor Parker, who was fab in Scaramouche, and fantastically bitchy in The Sound of Music. When I was a kid, I liked her Baroness much better than Julie Andrews' Maria, because apparently I liked snark better than sweet. So, no change there. *g*)
