Peter O'Toole Announces Retirement From Acting

One of my favorite actors.

Dear All
It is time for me to chuck in the sponge. To retire from films and stage. The heart for it has gone out of me: it won't come back.

My professional acting life, stage and screen, has brought me public support, emotional fulfillment and material comfort. It has brought me together with fine people, good companions with whom I've shared the inevitable lot of all actors: flops and hits.

However, it's my belief that one should decide for oneself when it is time to end one's stay. So I bid the profession a dry-eyed and profoundly grateful farewell.

Ever
Peter O'Toole

'How to Steal a Million'. Just a bit of fluff, but the camera spends 20 minutes locked in a tiny broom closet with O'Toole and the divine Audrey and I'll wager that very few viewers noticed the minutes ticking by. Personally, I could watch either of their faces indefinitely--together they are magic.

If any Peter O'Toole Fan has not seen one of his appearances on David Letterman's show then you are missing out. His stories IMO is what life is all about and no one tells them like Peter. This is one of my favorites.
