Beschreibung | Peter Seamus O'Toole (/oʊˈtuːl/; 2. August 1932 - 14. Dezember 2013) war ein britischer Bühnen- und Filmschauspieler. Er besuchte die Royal Academy of Dramatic Art und begann am Theater zu arbeiten, wo er als Shakespeare-Darsteller am Bristol Old Vic und bei der English Stage Company bekannt wurde. 1959 gab er sein Debüt im West End in The Long and the Short and the Tall und spielte 1963 die Titelrolle in Hamlet in der ersten Produktion des National Theatre. Während er auf der Londoner Bühne brillierte, war O'Toole abseits der Bühne für seinen Lebensstil als "Hellraiser" bekannt. |
When did I realize I was God? Well, I was praying and I suddenly realized I was talking to myself.
We were doing it under the most extraordinary circumstances, but the first out of the tent in the morning would be David Lean. He said to me on the very first day of shooting, Pete, this is the beginning of a great adventure.
I'm the most gregarious of men and love good company, but never less alone when alone.
Irish women are always carrying water on their heads, and always carrying their husbands home from pubs. Such things are the greatest posture-builders in the world.
I woke up one morning to find I was famous. I bought a white Rolls-Royce and drove down Sunset Boulevard, wearing dark specs and a white suit, waving like the Queen Mum.
