O'Toole sliced off the top of his finger in a boating accident during the production of "The Lion in Winter." His remedy? The actor dipped the finger in brandy before pushing it back into place and getting it bandaged. Three weeks later he unwrapped the bandage and found he'd put the top of the finger on upside down. "Probably because of the brandy, which I drank," he quipped.
I saw the 70mm re-release of
Lawrence of Arabia at a great theater - the Paris, in Manhattan. Stunning. If you ever get a chance, go. Also a great film to get your Guinness on, since - as we all know - we're not allowed to appreciate Alec Guinness in
Star Wars.

My Favorite Year is also a great movie.
Guinness was a brilliant actor, but it always bothered me that he talked shit about Star Wars. Those movies were somehow beneath him but Murder By Death got a pass?
Why aren't any of us commenting on the obvious: how awesome is the last name O'Toole?
