Actor Peter O'Toole, who starred in Sir David Lean's 1962 film classic Lawrence of Arabia, died on Saturday aged 81, his agent has said.

He was being treated at London's Wellington hospital after a long illness, his agent added.

O'Toole's daughter Kate said the family was overwhelmed "by the outpouring of real love and affection being expressed towards him, and to us".

He received an honorary Oscar in 2003, having initially turned it down. ...

Prayers to his family for peace.  He was one of my favorite actors.

Frank, what do you know of Mr. O'Toole?  I ask, because I knew of him through his movies, and I know you don't watch television (for obvious reasons).

I like what Michael Parkinson is reported to have said, that (paraphrased), "It's hard to be surprised at his passing, as he really didn't leave much of life unlived, did he?"

One of the true legends of the silver screen.  RIP, sir.

Damn, nowhere near as old as I would have thought him to have been.


I loved "My Favorite Year".

Wasn't he the Roman general in some TV epic "Masada"(sp)?

He was good in whatever he did.
