HOW TO PARK ONE’S CAMEL

[defrog]

Peter O’Toole: so awesome that he once arrived for his Letterman interview by camel. Then gave the camel a beer for its trouble.

"Jefferson Starship - Stranger" (Watch on YouTube)

Notice also how he smokes throughout the interview. You can’t do that on American TV talk shows anymore. Unless yr Peter O’Toole, that is.

If you have some extra time, the anecdote about camels, Omar Sharif and booze is worth sitting through. Because yr never going to get a story like that from most of today’s A-list.

Whose round is it,

This is dF

I could listen to that man talk all day long. He has one of the most unique voices I've ever heard.

Two of my favorite Peter O'Toole movies that never seemed to get mentioned when people name his films: MY FAVORITE YEAR and CREATOR

My Favorite Year is highly underrated. I liked Creator at the time but haven't seen it since, so not sure if it still holds up.

If I had to choose one O'Toole favorite, I'd have to go with The Lion In Winter (great play, great movie, O'Toole and Hepburn pwn everyone, the end), if only because The Ruling Class seems too obvious a choice.
