    R.I.P Peter O'Toole.
    For me the man was a legend.

    Absolute icon.

    Lawrence of Arabia still ranks as my favourite O'Toole performance.

    Lawrence of Arabia classic but much more to man.
    Hellraiser which to be honest I loved but also pleased he reformed to get his life back.
    Great film and stage actor.

    It's incredibly sad you've only seen him in such a pile of ****.

    Lived and loved life to the full. I've been told I look like he did as a youngster.

    RIP Pete, thanks for the memories.

    Loved him in "Jeffrey Bernard is Unwell", a role for which he was born for.

    I pass Lawrence's birthplace most days and I was thinking the other day that I need to see that film again especially as the missus has never seen it.

    Another Hollywood great.
    Fontaine and De Havilland haven't spoken since a family feud in the 70's,both seeming to being jealous of the other.

    As a co-incidence we wached REBECCA the night before she died and we looked her up on Wikipedia to find her still alive. Next day, alas not.

    Yes he was s SAFC supporter for years as well, his family lived and worked in Sunderland in the 1920's, what's new pussy cat was his best film I think. And I hope Sunderland win the league cup and stop up and you finish in the champions league, and that is fact.
