RIP Peter O'Toole. One of the only actors I can think of where the word "powerful" applies. He was also blessed with that rare natural gold-blond hair and coloring which runs in my family (got a handsome brother who had the exact same Lawrence hair/complexion when he was Lawrence's age some 30 years ago) and which is so dramatic in real life as to make O'Toole's Lawrence all the more believable.

Peter O'Toole was absolutely fabulous in Lawrence of Arabia, a great movie all around. (Ever notice that any movie with Jack Hawkins in it is great?!?) ONLY O'Toole could have done Lawrence. The role belonged to him completely.

Thanks for all the hours of great entertainment and acting, Peter O'Toole. God take you.

“ONLY O’Toole could have done Lawrence. The role belonged to him completely.”

Agreed. He should’ve won the Oscar that year for Best Actor instead of Gregory Peck IMHO.

"(Ever notice that any movie with Jack Hawkins in it is great?!?)" I like a lot of his films. Ever seen this one?

They say “There’s no accounting for taste.” I guess that’s true. I’d prefer having a colonoscopy to watching anything with Peter O’Toole.
