Good article. I was just about to post it but you beat me to it.

Did not know that trivial tidbit about his 2 birth certificate.

I wonder if Mr. Steyn would consider a gig with P.J. O’ Rourke.

Peter o Toole did a wonderful job as Lawrence of Arabia. in 1962.

I did see My Favorite Year, but had substantial dissonance while watching it, as I recalled him being 30is in 1962, and hadn’t seen any of his work between LoA and MFY.

“But, that aside, it’s because of Peter O’Toole that I never dismissed the Obama birther stuff out of hand. O’Toole had two valid, government-issued birth certificates”

Ummmm

“Did not know that trivial tidbit about his 2 birth certificate.”

Yes, I saw that today in one of the news articles. It didn’t say there were 2 BCs, just that it was unclear where and when he’d been born.

I guess he never thought to ask his mother, I’m guessing she’d’ve remembered!

I’m watching a little bit of the Lawrence vid you posted on FR. Can’t resist. Told my fellow O’Toole/Lawrence loving friend about it and she thinks it’s sacrilegious to watch on small screen. :)

I know what you are saying. I love so many, but if I had to pick one, it would be Lawrence.

O’Toole was one of several venerable actors who brought an element of class to that epic porno, Caligula. A tip of the hat to him for that.

I’ve heard about that one, but never seen. Malcom McDowell in that one, too, right?

Yes. John Gielgud and Helen Mirren are in it as well. Apparently the more hardcore pornographic scenes were inserted after principle filming…I'm not sure how aware these actors were of what they were participating in. I suppose I could Google it...

Absolutely agree. It's an epic motion picture that simply must be viewed on the Big Screen in a classic movie theater setting in order to be fully appreciated. I pity the younger generation who will never be able to view it in its proper setting. The way it was meant to be viewed.
