One of my personal favorite male actors. I'm saddened to hear the news.
Wikipedia confirms my suspicion that O’Toole holds the record for most Academy Award acting nominations without a win: He received 8 Oscar nominations – for Lawrence of Arabia (1962), Becket (1964), The Lion in Winter (1968), Goodbye, Mr. Chips (1969), The Ruling Class (1972), The Stunt Man (1980), My Favorite Year (1982) and Venus (2006).
