      You're very fortunate; I can imagine those eyes that close. In the 80s I saw him on Bway doing "Pygmalion". I always got a matinee seat in the third row, stage right. It was super! But what the reviewer said, which I'm sure was supposed to be saucy and judgemental, was true. The part I remember was that he walked about the stage often looking into the audience "as if to say 'yes, it is I, Peter O'Toole, looking back at you". 'Twas true and not something for an actor to do, but I kind of liked it. He was the only blonde that I can remember admiring and that all began with him in "Lawrence of Arabia".

    • @emmettwalz

      WRONG! O'Toole was, by no stretch of the imagination a "Method" actor. He was classically trained in the British theatre model, with never a thought of "character motivation", nor to the exclusive emphasis on verisimilitude, both of which "features" dominate that "school" of acting referred to by the name "Method". The Method was popularized in America, after its "birth" in Russia, out of the work of the director, Stanislavski.

    My dad used to play cards with him around this time back in Clifden in Ireland, considered a back water then. O'Toole used to love winding people up, especially by singing god save the Queen (this was rural Ireland in the seventies)
    One nights he got a few punches for doing it, and when he begged for forgiveness he sang it again. And again, and again. He didn't care less about the Queen of course, he liked the hell
