While a pretty bad movie, I always liked Creator and that fact that it introduced us to Virginia Madsen with a great shower scene.

Great actor. I always enjoyed his movies.

 

I also thought that guys like him and Richard Harris were very entertaining personalities and a lot of fun to listen to when they were on chat shows.

walked around the river in Stratford with this man a number of times, interesting man and excellent actor , he leaves behind a body of work many will look to.

LoA is tops, but One of my other favorite O'Toole films, Lord Jim.

a special movie for me Mr. Otoole worked in was Good Bye Mr. Chips , it was up for a number of Oscars, in a year that featured, the prime of Miss Jean Brody, Midnight Cowboy. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid , Easy Rider, Bob , Ted , Carol and Alice, it a special year, impactful in terms of the art /craft of movie making , going places not gone before. Good Bye, simply a lovely movie of a proper man finding love.

The Ruling Class.

 

 

He had an air about him as though only he was in on the joke while everyone else was clueless.

Quite a performer, throughout his life.
