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.

Barbara Streisand is so far left and loves all the downtrodden, abused political jail inmates that she wears a t-shirt that says “Free the Indianapolis 500!

At one time he was given a death sentence by fatwa because he had kissed a “Jewess”, Barbara Streisand, in “Funny Girl.”

...

I would think that kissing BS was punishment enough.

One of my favorite movies.

“Truly, for some men nothing is written, unless they write it”

“Did you know your own?”

“Yet here is a tulip the Turks could not buy.”

“L’awrence. Damascus. Go around.”

Peace be with you, Sharif.

What’s better than Dr. Zhivago and Lawrence of Arabia?

---

I vote for Dr. Zhivago—if only because it had Julie Christie in it.

One thing for sure, they don’t make movies like those anymore.

Julie Christie is so distractingly beautiful in Dr. Zhivago, I had to watch it several times before I figured out what the plot was.

My friend in Minnesota, who is a big Lawrence of Arabia fan like myself, sent me a message on Facebook about this. I just read it. I had my play list on You Tube playing as I read her message. It was on this:

Maurice Jarre - Doctor Zhivago (Live)

Partisan Commander: Comrade Doctor, I need a medical officer.
Zhivago: I'm sorry, I have a wife and child in Varykino-
Commissar: And a mistress in Yuriatin.
[The commander laughs.]
Partisan Commander: Comrade Medical Officer, we are Red Partisans, and we shoot deserters.

O’Toole was my favourite, but it’s all kinda hitting me that now they are ALL gone. Lean, Jarre, O’Toole, and Sharif.

Listening to beautiful Lawrence of Arabia music:
