Omar Sharif, star of Dr Zhivago and one of the world's greatest bridge players, has died aged 83. His agent Steve Kenis said on Friday: "He suffered a heart attack this afternoon in a hospital in Cairo." Egyptian-born Sharif, who had Alzheimer’s disease, won international acclaim for his role in the 1962 epic Lawrence of Arabia – his first English-language film. He won two Golden Globes and an Oscar nomination for his turn as Sherif Ali in David Lean’s iconic film.

“i’ve never felt the same about him since i learned that.”
Same here, but who knows what happened before he died.
He converted to marry an Islamic woman.
Greater sexual privileges. /s
From Lawrence of Arabia: “It is written”
Why don’t you do YOUR homework and find out?
Disguising a sleazy accusation as a question is a particularly vile thing to do.
“Somewhere my Love...”
One of my favorite movies is “Hidalgo” and I loved Sharif in his role as Shiekh Riyadh. Classic good looks and star power to boot.
That makes sense, he did not look typical Egyptian.
Sex is no big deal for movie stars. It is more prevalent than you think.
One of the greats.
Dr. Zhivago is a classic.
R.I.P.
Heart attack took him in Dr Zhivagoim as well.
I saw this movie in 1969 in Bangkok on R&R. It was the first movie that I saw was in Dolby sound.and I still remember the sounds shooting up and down the walls.
Thailand?..............................
(Sorry, couldn’t resist)....................
Or the beautiful Julie Christie in Dr. Zhivago.
Getting old an wrinkly in Malibu stuffing cats in the freezer....................
He converted to Islam because his current wife is Muslim. I doubt it was a sincere conversion.

the movie.Pretty good ww2 story.German General
