Oops... how could I have forgotten, Olivier and his third wife whom he adored, Joan Plowright! (i like her a lot too )

I once cut a rug with Ms. Plowright. I was a callow college student on my first trip to NYC (1979 or thereabouts), and our group happened to be seated next to her party late one night upstairs at Sardi's, where the Manhattan Rhythm Kings were holding forth.

The two groups began to intermingle, and she and I danced a slow number together.

Sir Larry was doing a Broadway show at the time and wasn't, alas, on hand (can't recall which show it was).

These are all so wonderful! I'll have to see if I can dig up a few more to get this thread rolling again.

Peter O'Toole is one of my favorite actors... here's a few of him.

He was born in 1932, so a tad on the late side for this forum. Here he is as a young lad:

His big break, playing Lawrence of Arabia, 1962

One of my favorite movies ever, Henry II in The Lion in Winter with Katherine Hepburn (1968)

Playing Casanova in the 2005 BBC miniseries:

What about this one

 

[ZombieGirl]

Man I'd forgotten that Elvis dyed his hair... but I definitely could tell who it was!!!

 

[Miss sofia]

Such a cutie when he was a kid, and as a man, well i will never get bored of swooning over Elvis!

 

[Kiri]

I didn't know he dyed his hair! I don't know that much about him at all really. I knew that little boy looked familiar but I didn't actually get it till I scrolled down. You can really tell it's him once you know though.
