Deaths of Minor Celebrities

[kxk]

With the possible exception of the single episode of Who's The Boss? he was in, I have never seen anything with this guy.

No boys in the household? He makes boys movies.
He's been quite a few fun PG movies, one with the Rock. Clean little adventure stories I can't remember.
Seem to recall he's been in some of the teen movies too???American Pie maybe (not one I have seen).
I know I have seen him quite young.
He was fun & funny.

He seems like the chill type celeb, happy to have paid employment and not engrossed in his own ego, happy type.

Peter O'Toole, 81.
Nominated for an Oscar 8 times, won an honorary Oscar only.
Last of the hard drinking hellraiser

I didn't realise Lawrence of Arabia was his 1st film! Far out, he was divine in that movie, I fell in love with Lawrence/O'Toole



Was there ever a more auspicious opening credit in history than “Introducing Peter O'Toole as T E Lawrence”? That brief and simple sentence, which appears on screen at the start of David Lean's Lawrence of Arabia, one of the least brief and simple films ...

Got to love somebody who writes this at 18 -

"I will not be a common man. I will stir the smooth sands of monotony. I do not crave security. I wish to hazard my soul to opportunity."

He was so beautiful! Great post, kxk. Although I think he summed up the thinking of every 18 year old ever born.
