Peter O'Toole honoured by Irish President
Ireland's President MICHAEL D. HIGGINS paid tribute to acting great PETER O'TOOLE at a special memorial event over the weekend (17-18May14).
The Lawrence of Arabia star passed away in December (13) at the age of 81, and following a funeral service, his ashes were scattered at his birthplace in Connemara, Ireland.
A memorial event was held at London's Old Vic Theatre over the weekend to honour the multi-Oscar nominated actor, and Higgins told guests of his admiration for the star.
He said, "The Peter O'Toole that I knew and loved was a man of immense charm, grace, intelligence and eloquence."
