QuoteActor Omar Sharif dies aged 83
Actor Omar Sharif, best known for his roles in classic films Lawrence of Arabia and Doctor Zhivago, has died aged 83.
Egypt-born Sharif won two Golden Globe awards and an Oscar nomination for his role as Sherif Ali in David Lean's 1962 epic Lawrence of Arabia.
He won a further Golden Globe three years later for Doctor Zhivago.
Earlier this year, his agent confirmed that he had been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease.
I should watch Dr Zhivago and play Revolution Under Siege. :(
Two of my favourite movies of all time.
RIP
RIP. Didn't know he was still alive.
On that note, I discovered the other day that Olivia de Havilland is still alive. :blink:
Dr Zhivago has one of the harshest post-coital lines IMO:
Komarovski: [to Lara] And don't delude yourself that this was rape! That would flatter us both!
I will always remember him in Top Secret!

Man I love Dr. Zhivago. Such a great film. RIP Omar. :weep:

I am terrible with that scene. Everytime I pass by a sex shop or a souvenir stand I just cannot help but start saying 'souvenirs, novelties, party tricks'

That scene is truly a pinnacle of modern comedy. :lol:

He was my mum's huge crush and the reason I was forced to see "Doctor Zhivago".
Rest in peace, moustached one. I remember you from such a varied selection of movies as one of the Pink Panther movies and "Lawrence of Arabia", quite possibly the best movie ever made.
'Forced' to see Dr. Zhivago?!!! :o
Philistine!

I was eight. I'd rather have watched Donald Duck.

She's the only main character who dies in "Gone with the Wind" yet IRL outlived all the other main characters.
RIP Omar

Scarlett and Rhett died in the 60s ,but Ashley made it to 1989.

My mistake; I had confused Vivien Leigh's real life husband Laurence Olivier with her on screen crush.
The scholar survivor of the Sack of Magdeburg really died this time. He had been in a bad shape with Alzheimer for a while now but that's still a great loss.
RIP
