Comments: My very warmest regards to Peter O'Toole. I consider him to be the finest actor of both the late 20th and now the early 21st centuries. I have never seen another actor with his daring, strength and vulnerabilty. I admire his work deeply. Thank you for constructing this page. I found it as a part of my search to obtain a copy of his film, Becket, which is perhaps my favorite movie. I discovered that a friend of mine had never seen the film. She will see it very soon. Again, my very best to Mr. O'Toole.

Comments: Since Peter O'Toole is such a loyal Irishman, that he NEVER wears anything but GREEN socks (it's true!), I wanted to wish him a HAPPY St. Patrick's Day, and everyone else who is a Peter O'Toole fan a happy St. Patrick's Day, too!! Top o' the mornin' to ya! (If kissing the Blarney Stone gives you the gift of eloquence, Mr. O'Toole must have kissed it numerous times!) Happy St. Patty's!!

Comments: * o s c a r s / oo / IF PETER O'TOOLE was surprised by ' the gorgeous and ridiculous 60s', I'm definitely under the spell of the 70s in American CINEMA. As PETER grew up with movies like 'Blonde Venus' and succeded a modern touch of his acting, I'm curiously conservative in this field, although I'v always looked for the m o d e r n in everything. So, THE NEW. Not very easy to get familiar with. Yet, it's a fact, it's true: motion picture INDUSTRY is changed. Definitely. 'The Sixth Sense' staring Bruce WILLIS, six times NOMINATED for OSCAR this year, proves it. And, why not admit it, breathless movies like De PALMA's 'Mission Impossible' or 'Con Air' are quite nice pieces/ DANNA/ copyright/

I just heard an interview with Rose McGowan who said she looked forward to working with O'Toole on "Phantoms" because she loved him in "Lawrence" and when she saw it on its rerelease, it was the first time she'd been to a movie that had an intermission, which impressed her. She said O'Toole was very "elegant" when she worked with him, which I thought was a good word for him.

I guess this note is not an up-to-date information for all of you, but perhapes for some fans in Germany, who still want to get the Lawrence of Arabia 35th Anniversary Collector's Edition. This edition (217mins/Pal/Widescreen), hardly available in lots of stores there, – including all the the footages and dramatic scenes, which suffered major cuts in many versions and were lost for years – is totally restored to Director's cut. Leave for www.cinemabilia.de in order to get this painstakingly produced masterpiece. Take a look on their Peter-O'Toole-Video-list including many other films. But be careful, the homepage is in German. If there's a problem, just mail them. Pussycat

Comments: my favourite year (II) / richard benjamin / 82 / THE PART suits PETER O'TOOLE like the left shoe on the right foot; still, it's useless to say how good actor is PETER, even if the story is a bit puzzled. The movie I saw it begining with the second half, but I don't think that it is necesairly a special production; neither the part isn't quite a creation(from the script); special in truth is the smile of PETER O'TOOLE at the end of the movie; it's like it doesn't belong to him: a weird lovelyness. I would add a thing: I think the shape of American movie modifies somehow his image: about my oppinion, the European CINEMA, exploits the real side of the nature( human's generally), yet, with all the values alltgether: the positives, but especially the evil ones. And, how perfect this type suits PETER O'TOOLE is well known (Lawrence and so); his rebel attitude , kind of, if I think a bit, is not that unusual for the English, but, in this movie , shooting for HOLLYWOOD, he's seemingly 'tammed like a shrew'; it is modified all: qualities are distinguished to be as good-looking as a real star, American. Well, with others appearances he looks good, but a kind of beauty according to the caracter he's playing, ugly or sublime. Then he is subjugated to a typified aesthethic, mostly positivist, which shows the dark side of the soul or conscience, but under the triumph of the good ones by warming up the positives clues. Finally, a good part for PETER O'TOOLE, who combines two sides of his personality, this time keeping them balanced; the well known ' constructive' prefferences and somehow ethical of the American classic movie-which are not bad at all-succed to mark this film, too / OSCAR nom/DANNA/ copyright/

Anyway, I was just last night watching O'Toole on the BRAVO Channel in "Lion in Winter", and he is brilliant! He was playing opposite great actors like Anthony Hopkins and Timothy Dalton, and wiping them off the screen. But then, I remember reading an interview with Hopkins in "Playboy" and he said "O'Toole was the greatest, most intense, most brillant actor I've ever worked with." Or words to that effect. To those into trivia, the writer of "Lion in Winter," Goldman, both the play and the screenplay, was (he's now dead) the brother of William Goldman, who wrote "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" and many other great films.

Well, not just a guess, I did just see the play on video tape, and the name "Bernhard" in the text, gives me a clue (even though I don't remember the play's lines that well, so this is rather a guess.) If not that, then an excerpt from O'Toole's autobiography. Did you know O'Toole once saw a policeman beating up a whore? So the next thing he did in a dance club, was pretend to dance with a policeman in the dark, when he was actually punching him up! An Irish sense of justice, that.... And when O'Toole was hauled before a judge on the charge of public drunkeness, and singing loudly in the dark and creating a disturbance, O'Toole told the judge, "Well, the urge just suddenly came upon me to woo an insurance building."

Now the system's down and I'm finding it increasingly difficult to concentrate on one thing or another. I trundle past the mooing Freesians, and the walls resound with banging. This place reminds me of that brazen, God-like creature I met on the way. They think by adorning themselves with feathers and tiaras they may perhaps bring themselves closer to Heaven, or Nirvana, or some other such nonsense. Well, I have been a long way in the opposite direction and I can assure these preening amateurs they are heading for calamity. But good riddance anyway. Mad glory and delusion forever.

Comments: Hi, surfed in on my daughters advise!! Florence (my daughter. who has made some remarks in this very guestbook some days before) became a fan of Peters through the film Lawrence of Arabia from which we have luckily a video copy. She watches it almost every day and finds out a lot about the film and therefore of one of my favorites: Peter O'Toole. I'm far away from having seen all his films but I think the most important ones I have had the opportunity to see. It is wonderful to share this love to Peter O'Toole with ones daughter, isn't it? She is 14, I am 54.... but these 40 years of difference just don't make a difference at all in the love of one of the best ever actors. I'm looking forward to seeing soon a new film. I wonder why he never played a Shakespeare role in a movie!? I think this is what I would love to see from him: playing on stage at the theatre. But then again, I would have to travel to England! Rather an expensive, but nevertheless worthwhile journey! Keep on playing Pete! Hope to see you soon somewhere! Lilo

Comments: In reference to a previous posting, O'Toole's latest stage outing in JEFFREY BERNHARD IS UNWELL may be his last, but I've read in more than one interview of his that one of his life's ambitions has been to play KING LEAR on stage. Something he hasn't done yet. And something I hope he will. And something I possibly would be willing to get on a plane to see.

Comments: * * * m i l l e n n iu m special * * * / m a n f r i d a y/ j. gold/ 75/ THIS movie- not PETER O' TOOLE this time- quite moved me; it is as if something inside myself shaked a bit. A certain pure ungle to look over life; it makes you see values which becomes twisted as the time is passing. When they begin to get twisted? Because they certainly do, quite often. Robinson CRUSOE can be the human nature, which is the same or which is forever: basic instincts: the self defense, to opress, to educate, to look for civilization, the native religious insinct ( more or less ), the self control or the torments of conscience, the weakness or the gifts. Still all fails, I don't understand or I don't agree. The color bar superflu, yet, there are some things quite true: etnics that cannot be put together, simply, and, nobody civilizes anybody, finally. Pitty that CRUSOE commits suicide in the end, because I think he was right all the time. A part purely theatrical which makes me ' forgive' the recent flamboyant ones in 'Rebecca's Daugters' or Gulliver's Travels'; PETER's simple appearance in this movie brings me a curious peace/ DANNA/ copyright/ HAPPY MILLENNIUM for all/

Comments: I think O'Toole should be knighted, too. But Connery's good. The one annoying thing about him being knighted, is, like all typical Scottish, he's made anti-British comments again and again (read his interview from the 60's with Oriana Fallachi). He's all for Scottish independence. And then a Welshman, Anthony Hopkins, got knighted, and all the sudden Connery wants to be knighted, too (admittedly he's more deserved of it than Hopkins). He wants to be fed by the hand that he bit. But no movie of Hopkin's nor Connery's will be viewed a hundred years from now the way LAWRENCE OF ARABIA will be...so I think Lord O'Toole sounds good!! Sir Peter, too. Yes! But, as Paul McCartney said when he got knighted, "It's a Hard Day's Knighthood."

Comments: I just finished watching O'Toole in the taped (the address for which I got from an earlier guest posting) version of his latest stage triumph JEFFREY BERNHARD IS UNWELL and I thought it was terrific. It's a witty, thoughtful well-written play, and O'Toole does a wonderful job as Jeffrey Bernhard. It is a play, which requires more concentration than a regular TV show/tape, but once you adjust to that, it's worth it. The other actors are terrific, too. The camera cuts to audience reactions which adds to the "live" feel of it. And at the end, the audience gives O'Toole a deserved STANDING OVATION! The credits site O'Toole as co-director. Here's to ya, Peter!

In the article, the writer observes O'Toole on the set of MY FAVORITE YEAR. So it must have been an issue of "Playboy" that was published in 1982. In case anyone is in a research mood, that's the year of "Playboys" to peruse. It's a great article, so I hope it is found and posted here.

Comments: I saw Peter O'Toole on stage in Shaw's MAN AND SUPERMAN in the 80's, twice. In one scene, he was in the background with sporting equipment as Octavius spoke. I knew how the scene went, having seen it once, when I went back a second time. This same scene occurred, when Octavius spoke and O'Toole was again in the background holding a bag of croquet balls. He was just supposed to stand there, but he began to move toward the actor playing Octavius...and I knew he was not doing as scripted...and O'Toole came up to this actor, surprising the actor, held the bag of balls up and said to him, simply, "Balls!" and walked away to set them down. The actor playing Octavius finished his line, and as the next actor took over, covered his face and laughed and laughed, quietly, because O'Toole's impromptu "Balls" line had been such a hilarious surprise. Finally he recovered himelf, and could continue in character as his next line was due. Most of the audience didn't know O'Toole's joke, since they didn't know what he NORMALLY did in the scene. But I did, and I loved him for being so irreverent! It was very O'Toole, in the best sense of that word.

Tremendous..A tour de Force" wrote The Evening Standard, "A Superlative Performance"," He won an immediate lasting standing ovation, and he deserved it" told The financial Times. ECSTATIC REVIEWS ARE PILING HIGH UP ON O'TOOLE'S PERFORMANCE AS JEFFREY BERNARD IN 'JEFFREY BERNARD IS UNWELL' STAGED AT THE OLD VIC THEATRE IN LONDON RECENTLY. So here in Texas, foetus-ed- on chairs, we watched the recorded version(because Texan reviews are most likely not longed for in the world, will soleley keep to our reaction): for a while laughs hiccuped from every seat, now touched.. ,seconds later convulsed.. ,next roaring.. ,we zigzagged from start to finish. Who is in the driver's seat? the magnificently ripe O'Toole with an expressive bag full of treats. PS: Fans who want to purchase O'Toole's performance video-ed- are welcome to contact me for direction.

Comments: * * * THE POETIC sense of an old- fashioned star; this is what I have when I think about PETER O'TOOLE. Who can say that, beyound his stardom, there is a common human being. False. It cannot be so, simply. It is the old perfume of a chic hat in 'The Night of the Generals'; the fragile success being young and temperamenal as LAWRENCE; it is RITZ HOTEL in between; also, the stage, the make-up for every night performance. HENRY II, certainly; the austere castle. Lovely women, from time to time, it's possible. Even NAT KING COLE's 'STARUST', the splendid soundtrack of 'My Favourite Year'. Agets, a lot, contracts, all, cars and bars. In some place it can be Omar SHARIF, I'm sure; and Richard BENJAMIN or Richard BURTON. Definitely, quite out of common/ DANNA/ copyright/

I read that Peter presented a film award recently to Omar Shariff in Egypt, so any more information about that would be appreciated. Also, Gay Talese wrote a fascinating article about O'Toole in Esquire back in the 60's which was subseqently included in a book called "The Overachievers" --though maybe that book was subsequently renamed. It would be great if that could be found and posted here. Also, either Life or Look magazine in 1964 had a wonderful photo-spread of O'Toole and Richard Burton in costume and laughing on the set of "Becket" -- I'd saved that for a long time but my grandma inadvertently threw it away -- so I wonder if those pictures might be archived somewhere. Anyway, thanks for this site. I hope Peter looks at it, since he deserves to know how well he's thought of.

He was going to e-mail that it wasn't O'Toole, soon after, but his computer went to hell and it's never been fixed, and he couldn't e-mail anyone anymore, and he couldn't find Hamish's phone number on this site anymore to phone and break the news THAT way. And now that he's read recent comments on it, in the guest book, he's asked me, a computer owning friend, to break the news (not that it's that big of news), since he's got a guilty conscience. He meant no harm. Anyway, I wish all of you could see him do O'Toole after he's had a couple pints in him, because you'd swear you had O'Toole at your table!

Curious resemblance with RICHARD BROOKS, yet anything else definitely. The delicate problem of surviveing; the life which blinks only, incredible story today, as terrifying things were happening in modern times, the XXth century. SAGAL's human touch for sure, and, without PETER O'TOOLE (with Maximillian SCHELL) . A note: my essay, in progress for printing - I hope, tells about the concentration camps; but as I see, it is far from SAGAL's movie. And how far is ART from reality - virtually, of course ? Very far. PETER O'TOOLE said something in an iterview quite special: 'Does ilness teach you something?'- the rep.'NO. Being sick is a bore'. So he was wright, I think.

'ALL ABOUT EVE', a classic for sure, tells the story perfectly about it.

Comments: Gloria Stuart--who played "Old Rose" in THE TITANIC--recently published an autobiography "I Just Kept Hoping." I read a bit of it standing in a book store, and the bit I read was of her experience with Peter O'Toole when they filmed the Stork Club scene together in MY FAVORITE YEAR. (There is a photo of O'Toole in the book). Among other things, she says, "O'Toole is one of the few actors I've worked with who cares about the other performer." Probably one of the reasons he's one of the greatest actors who ever lived, I say! Anyway, the O'Toole part is only a few pages, and not worth buying the book, but if you see it in a book store, read the O'Toole section (I believe the book has an index). It will only take a moment of your time. It's worth a look, if you're an O'Toole fan.

LEE-THOMPSON is a director who's poetical beauty as approaching is irresitible. The same is happening with STUART ROSENBERG, my favourite director, I'm certain of it . 'ICE COLD IN ALEX' with LEE-THOMPSON as director solves the mystery: to see things, drama, LIGHT. Both directors are like this. As for ' ICE COLD IN ALEX' it is a puzzle of familiar pieces: first, the d e s e r t, exotic, stylish view and very open; then we can see JOHN MILLS, DAVID LEAN's Michael in 'Ryan's Daughter'; and then, ANTHONY QUAYLE, co-starring with PETER O'TOOLE in 'Lawrence of Arabia' or 'Masada',the years will fallow.

Comments: Great site. I found your link on my nephew's web page that he set up for O'Toole Clan. click on www.clanotoole.org There are lots of us out here. Wouldn't it be nice for us all to meet Peter someday? For several years I have mailed him flyers about O'Toole Rallies in Ireland, but I always get them back. The next Rally is to be in County Wicklow next September. Maybe I'll find a better address thru this page.Anyone wanting to be on my mailing list, please E-mail me . Thanks, Milliebeth

Comments: Shari- the film you are thinking of is 'The Ruling Class' - it's a little odd but you do get to see how talented he is, playing all those different characters and all. Rocco - if you read this, I have a copy of 'Pygmalian' on video Hamish - very soon I will be sending you pics of when I recd autograph at Plymouth Theatre in 1987. 2 great shots - 1 of him signing playbill and another of him looking right at the camera. My dad's camera was a bit noisy and he turned around to see what the racket was all about. The autograph, the photo and the pen he borrowed from me (to sign for other people) are among my most treasured posessions. I'm still thrilled (12 years later) that he remembered who loaned him the pen and returned it to me before getting into his limo with little Lorcan - who was probably around 4 - 5 yrs at the time.

I've been a great fan of his since "Lawrence" and am so pleased that his wonderful acting career has recently been honored with an Emmy (he should have AT LEAST three Oscars by now!) and his success on the London stage. For some odd reason I don't think Peter surfs the Web much ;) but maybe his young son does. If so, I hope Peter gets the chance to know how many people out here admire and respect him.

Comments: * * How to Steal a Million / 66 / WILLIAM WYLER 'means 'music and refined humour ; one of the most attractive movies , it has something entertaining and picturesque at the same time ; sensitive values are considered , with a delicate manner to express it ; the snsation of ellegance is spread all arround , and everything has style without being baroque or obsessive ; an old art lover , has a collection , the Bonett's , but almost all the paintings are made by himself ; out of any possibility to give up his work , he expose the so called 'Cellini's Venus ' at Kleber - La Fayette museum ; Monseur Grammont , the owner of the gallery put it under a strong safety ; yet , because of a ' technical examination ', his daughter Nicole , played by AUDREY HEPBURN , plans to steal it with a burgler who is not a burgler in fact , played by PETER O'TOOLE . By chance , in the very middle of the 'robbery ', they fall in love ; the story has a fine happy - ending . Brilliant choice of the characters , including the very picturesque guards of the museum . Somehow , because of the pieces of ART , especially VAN GOGH's , it is a fascination of the Impressionism mixed with a tender love story / DANNA / cpyright / ( danna_queen@yahoo.com )

Comments: First off, I would like to Congratulations to Peter for his Emmy Award! I'm only 17 and am currently a senior in high school. I have been interested in Peter O'Toole every since my English class and I viewed the film "Becket" about a month ago. Peter O'Toole surprised me with his beautifully wonderful forte as an actor. He played a wonderful role in the film and played it very, VERY well, so every since I have been researching the great Peter O'Toole and am and will continue to keep up with him and what he's doing. He is such a beautiful, EXTREMELY handsome man in the film Becket and is still EXTREMELY handsome. What makes him so unique is his ability to express himself using only his eyes! I love the way he moves his brows in the movie Becket-It's very expressive, and I love those unmistakeable blue eyes. You are my favorite actor Peter! I simply love the man!

Comments: /JEFFREY BERNARD IS UNWELL/ point of view / PETER maintained his appearances on s t a g e ; never makeing long brakes. Of course , there is the magic of being a s t a r, if there is the 'luck'; who can resist it ,and ,why not , we are liveing in the c e n t u r y of CINEMA , once with BROTHERS LUMIERE invented it . As an irony , French Cinema after GABIN , DELON , CATHERINE DENEUVE is like absent. But it was LOUIS De FUNES, yet; he upholded brilliantly the 80s , when movies like 'E.T.'and others took the place of the classics .Quite a creation,'L'AVARE':the s t a g e meets the big s c r e e n , as MOLIERE meets the XXth century. As a co-director with De FUNES the humour goes to perfection .Also , we can see PETER O'TOOLE from a stylish burgler in WILLIAM WHILER's 'How To Steal a Million' to an Artistc or Associated D i r e c t o r for stage , in real life . Yes , PETER did it, in the late 70s; its the Dramatic ART and 'the whole damn thing'( half of PAKULA's movie title ). JEFFREY BRRNARD IS UNWELL was a success in '89 ; so is it now; so , no surprise . At all / DANNA/ copyright /

Comments: * THE d e s e r t fascinates still ;or , is the exotic ; the mysterious sensation of spaces with sand , immense , and the yellow-red or white sun ligh and rocks ; camels and bedoins who lives to live only . Quite recently BERNARDO BERTOLUCCI with 'The Shaltering Sky' ín the 90s; beautiful adventure , almost documentary as vision , very accurate view of the d e s r t , no poetry at all. While DAVID LEAN in 'Lawrence of Arabia' uses extremely large and flat images but fix , without air paradoxically , catching what he feels poetically , BERTOLUCCI is more open although with a lot of small sets . FREDDIE YOUNG said 'we used to go miles in the d e s e r t' , for DAVID LEAN to be satisfied; 'never saw a man so in love with the d e s e r t ' thinks PETER O'TOOLE. This time as a Turk , OMAR SHARIF in 'Harem'- 85 : Egyptian actor , he is exotic by nature , has arab blood , and he belongs to the d e s r t more than any other actor by his gestures or his lovely 'twisted' English . Also , 'Sahara' with BROOKE SHIELDS ; the exotic is linked with romance often ; a mysterious prince , black-dressed appears quite regularly / DANNA / copyright/

He was born in 1932 , Ireland , when Joseph von STERNBERG was shoting 'Blonde Venus'with beautiful DIETRICH .Only at his seventeens , PETER is on stage as an amateur ; in the late 50s at OLD VIC Theatre, and then , the debut on the s c r e e n. In '60 , DAVID LEAN sees 'The Day They Robbed the Bank of England': 'I thought , good actor , big screen personality'; so , here we are in '62 , with 'Lawrence of Arabia': 'The life and death of a war hero ', says PETER; the ambivalent temper of this historical figure made him a s t a r ; then 'Becket', 'The Lion in Winter','Lord Jim'. PETER grew up with movies like 'On the Town' or 'Casablanca'; still ,he is considered m o d e r n . The 60s , the early 70s , are the best years , he is among the leading box - office attractions . But the late 70s are bitter . While shoting 'Caligula', ALLAN PAKULA is shoting 'All the President Men'. The movie industry is huge now . PETER gets ill ; major surgery lives him without a part of his stomach , and the doctors say he has blood cancer and one week to live , only . Yet , he survived ; mostly , he continued his work :a seventh OSCAR n o m i n a t i o n with 'My Favourite Year'in '82 , shoted in HOLLYWOOD , a place wich he is not very fond of . The 80s : his mood is changed :flamboyant parts . A success with 'Jeffrey Bernard is Unwell'in '89 , a good year : 'Loitering with intent'also , an autobiography , admired by the critics , fallowed by a part two . He is performing on s t a g e again now , in'99, at OLD VIC Theatre . Beyound all , I think PETER is f u n n y : in an intrwiew : does he curses that he began his career with an apotheosis ?

Well it has taken many, many years for me to arrive here! I discovered Peter in a dark theatre when I was 13 years old, as T.E. Lawrence. It changed my life irrevocably, and if it is possible to be in love with someone you have never met, I have loved him ever since and to this day.

During that first "encounter", at the same time, I fell in love with film as the pentultimate art form, Lawrence the human being, and of course the actor who managed to mesmerize me at such a tender age. I immediately read everything I could find in the library on T.E. and have collected any significant magazine article on him I've run across since. That follow-up was the first "research" experience I'd ever done just because I WANTED TO KNOW, and since then I've used the library to study every subject that interests me. Peter, by simply existing, brought to life my own personal fire for knowledge.

As for O'Toole's effect on other areas of my life (ask anyone who has known me at any time over the years), he instantly and singlehandedly forged in me a life-long passion for, first, film-as-art, and soon after, for theatre. I majored in theatre in college and, although I left it as a career, the theatre is still my greatest passion.

In my divorce in the early 80s, I managed to retain custody of my O'Toole audio* & video library but, alas, it is all on Beta Max and I've never found a working one to purchase. LOL.

To make this lifelong fascination even more interesting, since I evolved into a poet and not an actor, the second volume of his autobiography reveals his astonishing facility with blank verse disguised as prose. One more thing in common...

Peter, if you are reading this:
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SOON!

There is much you have already done, and yet can do, in this world that you may not even imagine when you are so gifted with the combination of extraordinary talent, unequalled charisma, acute intelligence, a poetic sensibility, and all of that topped off with the most delightful irreverence.

Here is one life you changed forever:
Take it to the bank.

As the tragic death of the president , this is a case , wich can be any case today . Mafia , FBI ,CIA , Army , wars , money , power , and so , can be a serious trap for high - level VIPs .

Comments: * ROGUE MALE / Clive DONNER / 76 / TV / The movie resists by the story ; a claustrophobic sensation , without air and the GRAY of London ; no way out . The acion ' a bout de soufle' and a lot of smart dialogues to replace emotions.Rogue male is an elephant , lost , who becomes isolated and dangerous. In fact ,paradoxically, it is about a tender love story mixed with torments of conscience and political ethics or fight of the main hero. PETER O'TOOLE acts a man who wanted to shoot the FUHRER , chased according to the rules of h u n t i n g , by a NAZI major. Somehow happy - ending and somehow never - ending vicious circle of earning justice by oneself , and where the struggle for b r e a t h i n g is not fantasy. - DANA / copyright /

Actually, that is also the birthday of an ex-girlfriend of mine; if I'm not mistaken, she and I had a lovely evening after seeing "Creator" way back when I was in college. Other than O'Toole, who was beautiful in it, I thought that was a wrecthed movie. But that's somewhat coincidental since other than that night, it was a pretty wretched relationship I was in!

Comments: * MASADA / Boris SAGAL / 1981 / Maybe the most successful part for PETER O'TOOLE , meaning that it suits him perfectly ;a Roman general , spoilt as usual , yet wise and sensitive ; of course , unfailing , are the monologues about virtue , but they still work ; his partner , Peter STRAUSS , surpriseing , keeps the balance perfectly in this rival couple ; close by Barbara CARERRA -a bit fatigued , kind of 'rumped ' , PETER O'TOOLE acts the lover part , with unusual alive tenderness: FLAVIUS SILVA is a mature man , still charming , with an expressive alure plus his white legs , wearing roman sandals , takeing the girl by the hand with the innocence of a teenager . Interesting supporting roles - very clear details in composition - for example CEZAR , or the rival general. About the sybject : quite serious , and , with an acute message , very subtle ; the conflict between the two characters , wich are in fact , two different people : Jewish and Romans ; finally , fighting , both lose , each with just reasons ;( ... ) . Anthony QUAYLE , as usual is the perfeect refined supporting actor ever ; with class , he played with PETER O'TOOLE as partners in BECKET or LAWRENCE OF ARABIA / DANA / copyright /

Comments: One of the first things I did when I had an internet connection, was to run a search on 'Peter O'Toole' and that's how I came to find this wonderful site. Peter O'Toole was the first actor who made a 'lasting impression' on me as a child (I saw 'Lawrence of Arabia' on TV when I was about 8 or 9 years old), and I still am a huge fan of his. Since this is a guestbook, I will keep it short: keep up the good work on this site! I hope it will become even better and that more fans of O'Toole will find each other here. One request though: is there anybody out there who has taped the TV-series 'Massada' or 'Strumpet City' on video (or any TV show appearences of O'Toole)? If you do (or just want to send me a mail concerning O'Toole) PLEASE contact me at roccob@jeeves.be Thanks a lot

Comments: / AWARDS / ( I ) / It might be a reason why PETER O'TOOLE haven't won an OSCAR , still ; looking over the award winners versus his appearances those years , it can be said that they where quite rivals ; chooseing '69 for instance - Goodbye, Mr. Chips : Best actor : JOHN WAYNE ; '64 - Becket : Best actor :REX HARRISON in My Fair Lady; '72 - The Rulling Class - awarded MARLON BRANDO in The Godfather , or , a late nomination for My Favourite Year versus Gandhi , directed by DAVID LEAN . Yet , at the same time , PETER O'TOOLE deserved an Academy Award , for sure . How can it be solved ? I think HOLLYWOOD said every time :Let it be next time . He shared the same situation with RICHARD BURTON , both nominated seven times . A NOTE : incoherences regarding the YEARS when the movies where released , appears from a Guide to another ; I consider my encyclopedia and Halliwell's Guide , generally . * Also , for ' nine nominations' will be 'seven nom.' -error of typeing / DANA / copyright /

By far , the most acid or cynical movie about THE WAR . Its cruelty is pushed to the limits , but not wased . As ' APOCALYPSE NOW ' is more symbolic , ' CROSS OF IRON ' is more like modern expressionism, also a lucid and kind of realistic view ; a lot of anger is put in it . As for the characters , I think they are right , but rather I agree with oter critics : ' The concern of Pekinpah ( ... ) for the presence of VIOLENCE and the ambiguous values gets birth to complex characters , who's ethics you can doubt easily .'

Comments: Ever since I saw Peter O'Toole in "Lawrence of Arabia" in 1963 he was to be numbered among my favorites. In 1988 (I believe that was the year) my brother and I had the pleasure to sit six rows center stage at the Plymouth Theatre on Broadway and watch Mr. O'Toole do a GREAT portrayal as Henry Higgins in "Pygmalion". That is my high point in going to the theatre (and I have seen other greats live on stage as John Gielgud, Ralph Richardson, Margaret Leighton, Alec Guiness, Richard Harris, Alan Bates, John Carradine, Michael Redgrave, Julian Glover, John Hoyt, Tony Church, John Mills, Lionel Jeffries and Amanda Plummer to name a few---all great), but O'Toole is the highlight. I still will go to the movies to see any movie that Mr. O'Toole appears in if for no other reason than to watch a great talent at work. He has never let me down in enjoying his performance. To me, it is a shame that of the seven academy award nominations that he has received that he has not yet won any. This is a great site...keep up the good work. One thing on the list of credits. "Masada" and "The Antagonists" are the same film, just different titles.

Comments: It should be noted that the crown does appear to make exceptions - the Beatles, for instance, whose contribution to UK life was admittedly somewhat more across the board than Peter O'Toole's has been, were given knighthoods, and while they did end up refusing them initially, they were said to have smoked pot in the washroom at the ceremony, and Paul McCartney is _still_ known as an inveterate dopehead. So there's hope yet for O'Toole - he merely carroused and drank.

Comments: Mr. O'Toole is one of a handful of celebrities I have always wanted to meet. Cary Grant was another, but I blew that by missing an opportunity to catch one of his lectures shortly before he died. Jason Robards is another. Laurence Olivier I did get to see at an awards ceremony in New York. James Cagney was yet another. All of these actors have or had the ability to do it all--comedy and drama, even song and dance when the role called for it. Mr. O'Toole has magnetic screen presence, is always interesting to watch, and gives us those "little stabs of pleasure" that wonderful acting and great performances are all about. He shows us the best parts of ourselves, can make you feel proud to be part of the human race, because he shows us the noble, poetic side of humanity. I think he should be knighted, but I fear that his past drinking and eccentricities (which only endear him to me) will prevent the government from granting him the knighthood. I protest this--a man's work should be viewed separately from his private life--but I hope that if the government does decide to proceed, they should do so quickly or they will regret not having honored Mr. O'Toole while he was still alive.

Comments: I've been a fan of Peter O'Toole since I saw Lawrence of Arabia 3 times in 2 days when it first came out. I liked him them but decided I'd be a "o'Toolie" for life when I read an interview with him at that time saying his personal idea of adventure was carrying a jar of bitters from "one smoke filled room to another." He's a real character and I'm waiting for "loitering part 3" with great interest. Thanks for setting up this page. P.S. I went to EBay and bid on a signed picture of Peter and apparently "won." Thanks for adding that site to this page!

Comments: 1999 / OSCARS / A controversial OSCAR this year was ELIA KAZAN's ; considering the ' mistakes' of his youth - pleading for the blacklisted directors of HOLLYWOOD with communist views - he steped on stage with SCORSESE on one side and with DE NIRO on the other : brilliant moment , as the two personalities appears as ' heavyweight' figures as artists ; there was an expectation the director will apologise to the audience ; ROD STEIGER is one of the actors against the award , and CHARLTON HESTON undeniable PRO . ELIA KAZAN didn't apologise . I think artists must be judged only for their works . Communism is a bad thing , and to accept the conspiracy against directors is a bad thing also . But I think I' m still for this OSCAR / DANNA / copyright /

Comments: Untill 5 days ago I was as many of you just one of the fans of Peter O'Toole and with great joy watched all the news which this site provides about him. But, since 5 days ago I don't live a normal life anymore - my country is bombarded by NATO air forces and killing people, children and young girls like me. I am 23 years old and I didn't care about politic untill now. Seeing my friends who are not for Milosevic's government, scared and without peace, I am sending this message as a notice that while there is normal life in this planet, many innocent people are dying here right now. Maybe this is my last message ever. My life is continuing now in shelter, with uncertenty will my parents, friends and I be alive tommorow. Nadja

Comments: Hey Anna... Good question - I looked into the Monarchy's official site and discovered the office that deals with knighthoods - we could start a petition, hmm? In the meantime, I'll send a letter to the Secretary of the Central Chancery of the Order of Knighthood, Lord Chamberlain's Office, to ask what is required to recommend a person be admitted to the knighthood. I think O'Toole deserves to be Sir Peter O'Toole as well!

Comments: Does anyone know why Peter has not been knighted? I don't know what is involved but can anyone deny that he is one of the finest living actors in the world. His talent is certainly on the same level as Alec Guinness. Is this oversight because of the drinking?

Comments: * * OSCARS * * 1999 The magic night of the OSCARS ; THE 71th edition , hosted by WHOOPY GOLDBERG who says she is a FAN of MOVIES . Quite lovely . For PETER O'TOOLE , HOLLYWOOD means something common ; he preffers to watch the ceremony or not in England . But PETER is still in business ; so it can be said that he belongs to HOLLYWOOD wheather he is present or not in the spot's light of L A . * * In 1998 , PETER was awarded " Comander des Arts et des Lettres " / DANNA / copyright / OSCARS /
