A good actor, I'll best remember him for a remark by Groucho Marx; Marx once ended a letter to someone asking, "Did you ever notice that the name Peter O'Toole has a double phallic meaning"?
Lawrence of Arabia stands as one of the greatest pictures ever made, and O'Toole's performance (his debut) is one for the ages. This is a huge loss.
"Io sono stanco, sono imbigliato, and I wan't everyone here to know, there ain't gonna be no trouble from me..Don Corleone..Cicc' a port!"
