  O'Toole was a gift to us all. 95% of today's actors and entertainers will fade, yet, O'Toole, along with many others from time gone by, will live forever.

  Nothing wrong with Peter O'Toole's memory. Those that say he rambles on, just cannot remember the detail he provides. His body language shows he is reliving ten times more with every breath.

  Peter O'Toole was certainly a fine classically trained actor and a great storyteller; you don't see his kind anymore. Also, Robert Osborne, I miss his intros for TCM and his knowledge of the cinema. R.I.P Peter and Robert. Happy 60th anniversary Lawrence of Arabia; a masterpiece.

  Peter had such an enchanting voice: his diction and timbre is just so delightful. Plus he was such a charming raconteur.

  I think this is Peter O’Toole’s best interview. He seemed quite game for this and Robert Osbourne was fantastic in conducting the interview. I think Peter O’Toole deserved the Academy Award for Lawrence of Arabia. While Gregory Peck did a fine job in To Kill a Mockingbird, O’Toole really conveyed something that seems to have been something many who knew the real T.E. Lawrence from working with him in the military: while they knew him quite well, they also didn’t know him. And watching Lawrence of Arabia between 3 and a half to 4 hours, we know a good amount about Lawrence, yet by the end of the film, there’s an enigma about him and a good part of that is thanks to O’Toole. It’s a little thing, but it’s very important to the character and the film. That’s the best performance I’ve seen on film and I’ve watched many films in my life and Peter O’Toole is one of my favorite actors I love to watch on the screen. There will never be another Peter O’Toole. RIP to Peter and Robert.

  I’m always amazed at how fragile Peter looks, and yet how clear and resonant his voice is.

  The single greatest performance of all time in "Lawrence of Arabia." His performance made that film, and he alone made it one of the greatest films ever made.

  Love how he tries to include the entire audience! A true gentleman. Self depracating and funny. I love his laugh! RIP Peter.
