We're going to miss you, Peter, you were one of the most notable and talented actors of all time. Whether you were in the most acclaimed films, or campy trash, you treated each role as if it were gold, well-studied, and most importantly, worthy of your time. He acknowledged his role in Caligula as Tiberius as the funniest thing he ever did on the silver screen. Lawrence of Arabia might never have been a classic without O'Toole, who brought mystery and ambiguous sexuality into his performance in a time when it was nearly unheard of. In the words of the immortal Roger Ebert, "Using O'Toole's peculiar speech and manner as their instrument, [the filmmakers] created a character who combined charisma and craziness, who was so different from conventional military heroes that he could inspire the Arabs to follow him in a mad march across the desert. There is a moment in the movie when O'Toole, dressed in the flowing white robes of a desert sheik, does a victory dance on top of a captured Turkish train, and he almost seems to be posing for fashion photos. This is a curious scene because it seems to flaunt gay stereotypes, and yet none of the other characters in the movie seem to notice--nor do they take much notice of the two young desert urchins that Lawrence takes under his protection. What Lean, Bolt and O'Toole create is a sexually and socially unconventional man who is simply presented as what he is, without labels or comment." His drunken exploits were epic, his parties the stuff of legends. His instructions for a New Year's party at his house one year, verbatim: "Fornication, madness, murder, drunkenness, shouting, shrieking, leaping, polite conversation and the breaking of bones: such jollities constitute acceptable behavior, but no acting allowed." Your charm, wit, and amazing talent will live on with your acting legacy. <3 <3 A fond farewell to you good sir. You were the BOMB in Phantoms <3
