FILE - In this 1961 file photo, actor Peter O'Toole is shown in the title role in the film "Lawrence of Arabia." In a statement released Tuesday, July 10, 2012, the 79-year-old actor said he would retire from films and stage. “The heart of it has gone out of me,” he said, adding, “it won't come back.” O'Toole won acclaim as a Shakespearian actor before rocketing to fame in “Lawrence of Arabia.” His last of eight Oscar nominations was in 2007 for the film “Venus.” (AP Photo/Columbia Pictures, file)
