Rest in Peace, Peter Seamus Lorcan O'Toole!

So many good movies but for me 'Murphys War' was his best

A true hell-raiser in his youth

One of the best. I can't imagine some of the pictures he made with someone else in his role.

And sometimes he did comedy:

A shame but considering his hard living ways Id say an innings well played with many a six knocked out of the stands.

For a serious fan of classic cinema like me its a blow. Peter brought an intensity and gravitas to the screen no matter if it was a serious epic like Lawrence, or one of his more comedic roles.

A true great.
