Peter O’Toole, 1932 -2013
If you’ve never seen Peter O’Toole act, watch Lawrence of Arabia now. (The screen is black at first because epic movies used to have orchestral overtures. Apart from being one of David Lean’s masterpieces, Lawrence is an interesting backgrounder on the Middle East situation.)
If you are very young, David 8 in Prometheus modeled himself on O’Toole’s T.E. Lawrence.

Remember that great visual masterpiece. It’s so rare nowadays to see such great actors like him, and a true and fine gentleman moreover.
