"My philosophy of life is that I'm living every moment intensely, as if it were the last moment," he said in an interview with The New York Times in 2003. "I don't think of what I did before or what I'm going to do. I think of what I'm doing right now."

Dr. Zhivago is one of my favorites of all time :/
RIP
'world class' competition bridge player too
I liked him in Top Secret. Always awesome to see 'serious' actors not take themselves too seriously to do a bit of slapstick-type humor. RIP
Forgot about Top Secret. One I need to rewatch. It was an 80s staple.

he was last week... I thought the rule was that they would come within consecutive days, no?
Otherwise, sure - we can count Weintraub.
I still vote for a Kardashian.
Or a Hilton...

Maybe Sharif or Snake was 3rd?
I thought he had died years ago.
Ever since I saw that he'd attached his name to a line of smokes in Korea, I automatically associate his name with the ciggies and the cheeseball quote on the pack. It just all seems so 1960s. I bet he had a sweet love den!

RIP, Mr. Sharif.
A true classic.

I'm stuck, I don't know whether it's my perception alone or anyone else's - apparently on Lawrence of Arabia the first day he met Peter otoole they went out and got smashed to bits which I think is awesome, and I think all the tales of the old time stars getting battered and turning up to film the next morning is great - but when today's stars do it I roll my eyes and think 'entitled assholes' - am I getting old, is it me or is it because these guys were legends and the current crop really are overpaid entitled wankers
Dear lord i think I've turned into my dad

I think there's a sort of perception that back in the day, those guys took their job seriously working in film, and didn't do films in order to go out and party; consequently it's okay if they partied because they worked hard at their job (e.g. they didn't call in sick the next day for a hangover, but came to work and got the job done). Whereas the perception today is that a lot of actors think of filming as a way to afford going out to party -- it isn't their job.

You and me both, pal. I had the same thought just a few days ago.

I suspect you've put your thumb on it, Jason. Well said.

Well shit. :(
RIP Mr. Reese. In addition to
Cheers and
Men In Tights, I loved him in in the recurring role of Lord Jon Marbury in
The West Wing.
