He would've been 92 in 2024 but he died in 2015 at age 83 so that was a goal unable to be accomplished .
As all DLers know he co-starred in Funny Girl in 1968, They had a bit of an onset romance which caused quite a bit of gossip at the time as Omar is of Arab descent and Barbra is Jewish. At the same time Israel and Egypt were involved in the 6 day war.

He was a dab hand at bridge, too.
He WAS Omar Sharif!

Ah, the birthday of Egyptian actor Omar Sharif—known for his iconic roles in such films as “Lawrence of Arabia” (1962) and “Doctor Zhivago” (1965).

Fun fact: in high school, he endlessly tormented and bullied Edward Said, who later became a famous literature professor and music critic.

Filming Lawrence of Arabia he was a lousy camel jockey, they had to tie him on the saddle.
Peter O'Toole later remembered that Omar Sharif was so afraid of falling off his camel during the charge at Aqaba that he tied himself onto his camel prior to the start of the scene. They managed to stay on the camels during the actual charge, but after David Lean yelled "cut!" and the camels started slowing down, O'Toole looked over and noticed that the ropes on Sharif's camel had slipped just enough to catch Sharif mid-fall off the saddle, so the camel slowed to a stop with Sharif dangling upside-down under its belly.

My husband is a butch Elderbear. But he's also a Broadway showtune queen. Before I slipped several benzodiazepines into his digestif, we were having a major argument in which he brutally attacked me for not knowing the difference between "Funny Lady" and "Funny Girl". WTF? Who cares? She was on a Staten Island ferry singing something, and then handsome Omar Sherif shows up and does something. I was in the third grade, damnit. And now I'm senile. He might wake up in 10-17 hours. I need answers, or we'll be headed to Divorce Court. Please help, DL. I pray thee. Must pass this quiz.
