R.I.P sir.
Rest in peace Mr O´Toole.
R>I>P to a great actor and a Icon.
Really? I thought with all the hooch he imbibed he was permanently preserved
A great actor - I thought that he was superb in 'The Ruling Class'
RIP
Such a shame. I suppose all generations feel this way, but we are losing the greats.
The last of the old school hell raisers

I FEEL LIKE I'M DIAGONALLY PARKED IN A PARALLEL UNIVERSE

Great shame, RIP.

A great actor who will be missed by many. R.I.P
Very sad, star of one of my all time favourite films " Of course it hurts, the trick is not minding it hurts".
Given his lifestyle reaching the age of 81 was no mean feat, watched him a few weeks ago in Thomas Becket, RIP.
Thats news that has really saddened me.
A great actor, and one who's performances have truly entertained me.
RIP
My mum worked for him a long time ago as nanny to his kids.
Top bloke by all accounts.
She's got some interesting stories that get told out of the blue after a gin and tonic or two.
A marvellous film, one of his best IMHO. RIP indeed.Originally Posted by Velorum
F.T.F.A.
The finest man that ever breathed does so no more .............. how sad. RIP
One of the greatest actors.
Test in peace.
Great actor and last of the true hell raisers.
Don't see them like that anymore.
Very sad news. I really liked him and his work.
Just by chance I sat down to watch the 218 minutes of Lawrence of Arabia this afternoon, surfaced to find that he his death had been announced. He'll always be remembered for that brilliant portrayal as El Aurance.

Nominated eight times for best actor Oscar....should have got it..RIP
A legend in his own life time, RIP sir.
I saw him in Jeffrey Bernard is Unwell when he revived the role in 1999 at the Old Vic. Amazing performance.
Best wishes,
Bob
He was fantastic in Man of La Mancha! RIP to one of my favorite fringe lunatic thespians!!
Goodbye Alan Swan. RIP.
Another old school character gone. They don't make them like that any more. Rip Peter
Very very sad. RIP Peter.
A lovely story about him. He went on the piss one day with a mate, they then decided to see a play. Shortly after curtain-up, O'Toole turns to his companion and says, "you'll like this next bit, this is where I come on”.

Ignorance breeds Fear. Fear breeds Hatred. Hatred breeds Ignorance. Break the chain.
Wonderful actor, nothing like him nowadays.
RIP
Cheers,

RIP Peter, what a real great actor he was.
The great will always be missed RIP

Thats the last of the greats then. O`Toole, Burton, Harris all gone. RIP.
Top actor. I've been slowly persuading my wife (who's from Tatarstan in Russia and not so culturally literate when it comes to films) to watch Lawrence with me. Now I shall force the issue!
RIP. One of the greats!

A great actor and a real shame that he's gone.

One of his best performances with great comedic timing, wit and pathos. A vastly underrated actor and will be much missed.
Ever heard the story about him taking Michael Caine out on the piss???
He went out boozing with Michael Caine when he was O'Toole's understudy for 'The Long And The Short And The Tall' at the Royal Court Theatre in 1959. The last thing Michael Caine remembered was eating egg and chips, before waking up in a strange flat with a headache. "What time is it?" he inquired. "Never mind what time it is," said O'Toole. "What f***ing day is it?" Two days had passed and they were due on stage in three hours.
Just read he was tea total for the last 17 yrs
