Another classic gone
I remember going to see Dr Z with my Mum many years ago and being entranced by this Egyptian actor. Made an effort to watch as many movies with him in as I could.

Lawrence of Arabia and Funny Girl comes to mind too.... he was such a good actor and will be missed!

 

[Fata Morgana]

Doctor Zhivago.

I think I'll watch Lawrence of Arabia in his memory. It's years since I've seen it. And Omar had the best entrance in cinema history in that flick.

What a great movie. Made a star of Sharif as well as Peter O'Toole, of course.

I'd post here, but the reason I love him is Top Secret.

Between Lawrence of Arabia and Dr. Zhivago he spent more time on screen than some guys with twice as many credits.

My dad and I went to see it at the drive in when it came out. Yeah, time to find the DVD.

But the frontier post is wrong about his entrance. The movie starts out with him getting on his bike, riding down the road and getting killed.

Here's a photo of T. E. Lawrence on his bike, though he wasn't in the Army at the time of his death.

That's O'Toole's entrance, not Sharif's.

I'm sorry, but Funny Girl...
