Laurence of Arabia and the 80s miniseries Masada are two of my favorites.

Edit: oops....forgot about The Lion in Winter and Becket as well...

I thought he was older than 81... He certainly looked to be in his 90s.

Another of the great actors gone. An Irishman too. The new generation doesn't quite cut it.

Sister of Olivia de Havilland.

Joan's paternal cousin was Sir Geoffrey de Havilland.

Might have something to do with the fact that he hated physical excercise and was a heavy drinker. I will look the same without a doubt if I make it that far :D

RIP Peter O'Toole
