Omar Sharif

Recommended Posts

Damn - I realised we already had a thread with the 'Sheik down' pun. What should this one be?

 

 

I can only think of these lame options:

 

'Die Like an Egyptian'

'Mummy's boy'

'Under wraps'

'Lawrence of Alzheimer'

'In de-Nile'

Bit harsh considering his condition, but as a bridge player, perhaps "Playing Dummy"? He was in films called Mysteries of Egypt and The Last Valley, so something from that perhaps?

Just seen the above. I'm thinking that's a perfect character for Viz and - therefore - a fitting tribute to a loveable rogue.

Well he wasn`t known to be ill until a few weeks ago so a big miss but not an obvious one.

Rather overshadows the death of another Egyptian actor, Sami El Adl who has died at 69. http://english.ahram.org.eg/NewsContent/5/32/135007/Arts--Culture/Film/Prominent-Egyptian-actor-and-producer-Sami-ElAdl-d.aspx

 

Omar Sharif - Scene Stealer lol.

 

I've never seen Dr Zhivago - is that wrong of me? I first saw him in Funny Girl, a superb actor.

He apparently died of a heart attack so it wasn't the Alzheimer's that killed him in fact in probably died in the early stages of it

I was hoping he'd make it to 2016.

 

No, not cause I wanted him to live longer. Ew. I'm not nice.

 

But because I wanted to include him on my list.

There's a site called famous birthdays and I checked out 1932 and I was surprised with the amouth of dead people in comparison to the year before. I counted and out of the 36 people there 22 were dead.I would be shaking if I was born that year

Well, probably not in the early stages, since he was unable to work and had to be nursed by his family.

 

"It's a serious disease and he hadn't been able to take any work for many months.

(...) He's under the care of his family."

Well, the ABC News report also stated that he was a heavy smoker, had a triple heart bypass surgery and a minor heart attack by 1994, so it could have been predicted... Well, kinda, Abdullah of Saudi Arabia was a much more obvious miss.

Sir Nicholas Winton has to be the worst miss of the year though.

I dont like that game, but it'd be someone like Shaw Taylor, in that they just picked him 12 months too early, then dropped him. Whoever he was.

If you go down that route and factor in the degree of fame then Terry Pratchett is probably the biggest miss.
