Peter O’Toole, R.I.P. By Mark Steyn December 15, 2013 3:28 PM
Peter O’Toole died in London yesterday. He was one of the few actors I was happy to watch in any role. He improved almost anything he was in, although I wish there had been more late-career stuff after his charming turn in My Favorite Year. . . . . But, that aside, it’s because of Peter O’Toole that I never dismissed the Obama-birther stuff out of hand. O’Toole had two valid, government-issued birth certificates — one stating he was born in Connemara in Ireland in June 1932, the other stating he was born in Leeds in England in August 1932. . . . .
There were some great stories about times when O'Tool and Richard Harris were doing Shakespeare on the stage and would be so drunk they would fall off the stage into the audience.
