“I’m not an actor, I’m a movie star.” Peter O’Toole intoned that line as Alan Swann in 1982 farce, “My Favorite Year.” This was the truth as irony, because the Irish born O’Toole was both a movie star and one of the notable actors of the British stage.
His memorable role as T.E. Lawrence in the Oscar winning Best Picture of 1962, “Lawrence of Arabia.” solidified his legend. Mr. O’Toole died Saturday in London after a long illness, according to his daughter Kate.

While his birthplace in 1932 was in dispute – O’Toole himself was not sure of the location – his place as a lion of British theater and film is undisputed. After a stint in the Royal Navy, he joined the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts in 1952, within the same class as Albert Finney and Alan Bates. He...

The star of David Lean’s Lawrence Of Arabia who earned eight Oscar nominations has died at Wellington hospital in London following a long illness. He was 81.
O’Toole was reportedly born in Ireland – there is some dispute over this and it is said his birthplace may in fact be Leeds – and despite his global fame and London residency remained very much a son of the country.
The Irish president Michael Higgins, a personal friend for several decades, led a list of tributes and called O’Toole “one of the giants of film and theatre.”
O’Toole served two years in the Navy before attending the Royal Academy Of Dramatic Art in the early 1950s. He cut his teeth with a series of major roles in regional theatre for several years and eventually landed his cinematic breakthrough as Te Lawrence in Lean’s 1962 classic Lawrence of Arabia, which earned him one of eight Academy Award nominations.

Peter O’Toole, arguably the most strikingly charismatic, most eerily handsome, most preternaturally gifted actor of his acting generation, died Saturday at a London hospital at age 81.
O’Toole was part of the 1954 graduating class of London’s Royal Academy of Dramatic Art along with Richard Burton, Albert Finney, and Alan Bates. After a supernova first decade — a 10-year run from 1958 to 1968 that included two stage Hamlets, two filmed Henry IIs, and an incandescent, career-defining title role in David Lean’s Lawrence of Arabia — O’Toole let the momentum slip. The 1970s were a blur of bombs and bad health...

var brightcovevideoid = ' 2937710634001'; Peter O'Toole, who over a 50-year-career delivered majestic performances as unforgettable characters both noble and notorious, died Saturday at the Wellington Hospital in London following a long illness, his agent Steve Kenis said, according to various reports. He was 81. In a stunning announcement in July 2012, the acclaimed actor said he was retiring from the arena that made him a household name going back to 1962's Lawrence of Arabia. "It is time for me to chuck in the sponge," is how he put it as he bid his profession "a dry-eyed and profoundly grateful farewell." "He was six years old,...

Actor who shot to fame in David Lean's 1962 masterpiece and received eight Oscar nominations has died in hospital in London
The actor Peter O'Toole, who found stardom in David Lean's masterpiece Lawrence of Arabia, has died aged 81, his agent has said.
The acclaimed leading man who overcame stomach cancer in the 1970s passed away on Saturday at the Wellington hospital in London following a long illness, Steve Kenis said.
O'Toole announced last year he was stopping acting saying: "I bid the profession a dry-eyed and profoundly grateful farewell."
He said his career on stage and screen fulfilled him emotionally and financially, bringing him together "with fine people, good companions with whom I've shared the inevitable lot of all actors: flops and hits."
Early in his career O'Toole became emblematic of a new breed of hard-drinking Hollywood hellraiser.

Sharon Osbourne, wife of Ozzy Osbourne and a judge on "America's Got Talent," has announced that she has undergone a preventive double mastectomy because she has the gene that is known to increase risk of breast cancer, Britain's Hello! magazine first reported.
"As soon as I found out I had the breast cancer gene, I thought: 'The odds are not in my favor,'" Osbourne told Hello!. "I've had cancer before and I didn't want to live under that cloud: I decided to just take everything off, and had a double mastectomy."
"I didn't even think of my breasts in a nostalgic way, I just wanted to be able to live my life without that fear all the time," the 60-year-old told Hello!.
Osbourne has survived cancer before, as she was diagnosed with colon cancer 10 years ago, the Associated Press reported.
While Osbourne didn't reveal which breast cancer gene she has,...

*a screener of this film was provided by Osiris Entertainment.
Director/writer: Carl Lindbergh.
If you handed an apathetic eight year old a camera and told him or her to shoot a movie, then you would come up with a film like the Bunnyman. This film is not terrible because of its budget or because of laziness, this film is terrible because director Carl Lindbergh is incompetent. Lindbergh does not know how to co-ordinate a film crew or cast to the detriment of the film's audio and characters. The sum of all of his ineptness is another entry into 28Dla's Worst Films for 2011.
Here is the film's story in seven words: six youths encounter a family of cannibals - the end. And these six characters would be classified as mentally retarded on most intelligence tests. When a character dies by murder they roll their eyes and mope about the screen.
