CLASSIC ACTORS A-Z: PETER O'TOOLE
A. ACADEMY AWARD Nominations - 8 of them and no wins. O'Toole was given an Honorary Oscar in 2003. B. BROTHERLY Love (1970) Stars in this "Controversial tragicomedy about a brother's obsessive love for his sister. Having left her husband, Hilary moves in with her unbalanced brother, Pink, who uses wit and humor to hide his amorous yearnings." C. CATHOLIC School - He attended St Joseph's Secondary School in West Yorkshire where he was "scared stiff of the nuns." D. DIAMOND Cartel (2017) His final feature film - He played a character named "Tugboat" E. ENGLISH Stage - O'Toole earned recognition as a Shakesperean actor at the Bristol Old Vic. He also attended the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, 1952-1954. F. FISK Senior - his role in "My Talks with Dean Spanley" (2008) Set in Edwardian England, Fisk Senior has little time or affection for his son, but when the pair visit an eccentric Indian, they start a strange journey that eventually allows the old man to find his heart. G. GALWAY or Leeds? O'Toole often gave Connemara, County Galway, Ireland as his birth place - and he had the birth certificate to prove it. A second birth certificate - yes, he had two of them - says he was born in Leeds, England. He was, in fact, born at St. James's University Hospital in Leeds on 2 August 1932, but since his father was Irish, O'Toole was entitled to full Irish citizenship and the right to call himself an Irishman! H. HENRY II - O'Toole played the English king twice - in Becket (1964) and The Lion in Winter (1968). He earned Oscar nominations for his performances in both films. I. IRISH broadcaster RTÉ - Strumpet City miniseries (1980) in which O'Toole played union leader Jim Larkin. J. JESUS - In The Ruling Class (1972) O'Toole plays a schizophrenic who thinks he's Jesus Christ. O'Toole said he couldn't turn down the chance to play such an eccentric character and performed many of his own stunts, including jumping down from the cross. His fifth Academy Award nomination for Best Actor. K. KATHERINE Hepburn - Peter's co-star in "The Lion in Winter". Indeed it was she who persuaded him to take the role of Henry, as she said "before I die". [What a sensible woman! :-)] L. LAWRENCE OF ARABIA - O'Toole gives an Oscar-nominated career-defining performance as enigmatic British hero T.E. Lawrence in David Lean's 1962 cinematic masterpiece. M. MIXED - He had a mixed English-Irish accent.

CLASSIC ACTORS A-Z: PETER O'TOOLE
A. ACADEMY AWARD Nominations - 8 of them and no wins. O'Toole was given an Honorary Oscar in 2003. B. BROTHERLY Love (1970) Stars in this "Controversial tragicomedy about a brother's obsessive love for his sister. Having left her husband, Hilary moves in with her unbalanced brother, Pink, who uses wit and humor to hide his amorous yearnings." C. CATHOLIC School - He attended St Joseph's Secondary School in West Yorkshire where he was "scared stiff of the nuns." D. DIAMOND Cartel (2017) His final feature film - He played a character named "Tugboat" E. ENGLISH Stage - O'Toole earned recognition as a Shakesperean actor at the Bristol Old Vic. He also attended the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, 1952-1954. F. FISK Senior - his role in "My Talks with Dean Spanley" (2008) Set in Edwardian England, Fisk Senior has little time or affection for his son, but when the pair visit an eccentric Indian, they start a strange journey that eventually allows the old man to find his heart. G. GALWAY or Leeds? O'Toole often gave Connemara, County Galway, Ireland as his birth place - and he had the birth certificate to prove it. A second birth certificate - yes, he had two of them - says he was born in Leeds, England. He was, in fact, born at St. James's University Hospital in Leeds on 2 August 1932, but since his father was Irish, O'Toole was entitled to full Irish citizenship and the right to call himself an Irishman! H. HENRY II - O'Toole played the English king twice - in Becket (1964) and The Lion in Winter (1968). He earned Oscar nominations for his performances in both films. I. IRISH broadcaster RTÉ - Strumpet City miniseries (1980) in which O'Toole played union leader Jim Larkin. J. JESUS - In The Ruling Class (1972) O'Toole plays a schizophrenic who thinks he's Jesus Christ. O'Toole said he couldn't turn down the chance to play such an eccentric character and performed many of his own stunts, including jumping down from the cross. His fifth Academy Award nomination for Best Actor. K. KATHERINE Hepburn - Peter's co-star in "The Lion in Winter". Indeed it was she who persuaded him to take the role of Henry, as she said "before I die". [What a sensible woman! :-)] L. LAWRENCE OF ARABIA - O'Toole gives an Oscar-nominated career-defining performance as enigmatic British hero T.E. Lawrence in David Lean's 1962 cinematic masterpiece. M. MIXED - He had a mixed English-Irish accent. N. NIGHT of the Generals, The - he played General Tanz O. O'TOOLE, Patrick Joseph "Spats" - Peter's Father P. PETER PLUNKETT - His role in HIGH SPIRITS (1988) Q. QUIXOTE - In 1972, he played both Miguel de Cervantes and his fictional creation Don Quixote in Man of La Mancha. R. RICHARD Benjamin directed O'Toole in the 1982 comedy MY FAVORITE YEAR, in which O'Toole played hard-drinking, swashbuckling film actor Alan Swann, a character said to be based on Errol Flynn. S. STUNT MAN (1980) - O'Toole plays director Eli Cross = A fugitive stumbles on a movie set just when they need a new stunt man, takes the job as a way to hide out and falls for the leading lady. T. TORONTO - Appeared on the 1978 Toronto stage in Uncle Vanya (Vanya), Present Laughter (Gary Essendine), Caligula (Tiberius). Also seen on Washington and Chicago stages. U.

VIETNAM War - Was an active opponent. Exactly what difference he made, I've no idea. :-) W. WINGS OF FAME - (1990) "Cesar Valentin , a famous movie actor (Peter O'Toole) claims that he has written a book. The real author, vengefully kills him but then dies as a result of an accident. They both find themselves together in the after-life."
