Omar Sharif was sued by a restaurant parking valet (Juan Anderson, who is from Guatemala) who says the actor called him a derogatory name ("stupid Mexican") and punched him after the valet refused to accept his European currency. Mr. Sharif's publicist apologized for the error and said that in the future Sharif would refer to Juan Anderson as a "stupid Guatemalan".

"He ... is 5'11" tall."
Is that in Hollywood feet and inches? That would make him about 5'6" in standard dimensions.

The suit claims Sharif was belligerent and intoxicated and called the valet a "stupid Mexican" when he refused to accept a 20 euro note. That's about $23.50 right? That was stupid not to accept it.

I distinctly recall reading about his role in Dr Zhivago, and how he was filmed on platforms because he's 5ft 4in. Perhaps he hadn't hit puberty yet when he played that role. :^)

Excellent!
I hope Omar has to pay the guy millions, just like that histrionic little Kiwi actor who smacked a hotel servant with a phone.
It's Lottery pay-day!

To: Dr. Scarpetta
Don't you have to pay a fee to turn in Euros in the USA?Yep. Plus I am sure that the valet did not know what a Euro converted to in US currency.

Don't you have to pay a fee to turn in Euros in the USA? I think most banks will exchange the euros for a small percentage.
