dirac Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 O'Toole says he's done: An eight-time Academy Award nominee who never won Hollywood's top acting honor, O'Toole shot to screen stardom 50 years ago in the title role of "Lawrence of Arabia," which earned seven Oscars, including best picture and director for David Lean.

Alexandra Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 He's only 80? I would have thought he was older. At any rate, he had some wonderful roles. Link to comment
dirac Posted July 11, 2012 Author Share Posted July 11, 2012 He certainly doesn’t look young for his age, but at least he’s still alive – most of his confreres in the group known as the "hellraisers" have already gone to their eternal reward. Yes, it’s a remarkable gallery of film performances. It’s not every actor whose range extends from Henry II to Mr. Chips. Link to comment
MakarovaFan Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 I'm sad Mr. O'Toole won't be acting anymore but he's left us a phenomenal body of work. Link to comment
sandik Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 He was an incredibly game actor -- great roles and ridiculous roles side by side for years and years. Link to comment
