Famously, O'Toole once went out for a drink in Paris… and woke up in Corsica. He's confirmed this actually happened.

I don't care what anyone says, that rocks.

Glad he made it to 80 and wish him more years. He’s looked old for at least 15 years so alcohol must have preserved him.

I had to look up Richard Harris because I thought I remembered him dying a year or two ago and wanted to be sure.

TEN YEARS AGO!!!

WTH happened to the time???

Young O’toole and Orson Welles and others discuss Hamlet. I’m not familiar with what they are talking about sad to say, but it sounds terribly interesting:

One of my favorite scenes from Lawrence of Arabia. Okay, the whole movie is my favorite scene.

I remember seeing O'Toole on Letterman in the mid 80s. Dave asked him about the nature of his relationship with the recently deceased Rock Hudson. O'Toole proceeded to tell a story:

He woke up in the morning with Hudson handing him a drink and saying "Today is a day for getting drunk".

He said the last thing he remembered was the sun setting and both of them riding on a horse still in their pajamas.

‘The Night of the Generals’ with O’Toole and Sharif is a favorite of mine. Amazing movie.

[Moonmad27]

When I was a kid and saw him in Lawrence of Arabia, I thought he was GORGEOUS. Looking back at the film now, my opinion was right.

Happy Birthday to one of the all-time greats.

And no snarky comments about drinking, late hours, carousing, health, and longevity; superior genes inevitably will show.
