PETER O'TOOLE GONE ONE MONTH

PETER O'TOOLE 
August 2, 1932-December 14, 2013 


AT THE NATIONAL PRESS CLUB 
Washington, D.C. 
Two decades after Lawrence of Arabia 

Some of the more interesting obituaries and remembrances can be seen here and here and here; a rather different British interview from 1972, with some anecdotes about his beginnings, here; and a Joseph Wambaugh tale from his police days here

Two films of O'Toole's (just to start with) that certainly made politics visual and memorable: Lawrence of Arabia, of course, but Becket very much so also.
