Some other good otoole clips on you tube.
My favorite year was a tour de force as was Lawrence and some others.
He was bigger than life and one of a few actors I would go see perform regardless of the movie.
Thank you! I actually watched that while looking for the quote I remember. I didn’t find the particular one I remember though. As I recall, the Hollywood brats were all turning their acceptance speeches into anti American speeches, and cheering each other for their efforts. O’Toole came up to speak. I don’t remember if he was accepting an award, or presenting one. He said “America has always been very good to me.” It was not well received by those in attendance. They were on a feeding frenzy. I don’t recall him saying anything else. I remember him looking befuddled, as though he was completely shocked by the views of those around him. Like he had fully expected a rational reaction to the attacks against us, and never suspected that Hollywood truly hated America, and like he couldn’t understand how that was even possible. That’s the way I remember it anyway.
