R.I.P. Peter O'Toole
Dec. 15th, 2013 11:37 pmVery 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!
