Omar Sharif Of films and life

Omar Sharif Of films and life
Omar Sharif, who <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2015/07/10/entertainment/omar-sharif-dies/index.html">died Friday, July 10, at 83</a>, rose to international stardom with his performance opposite Peter O'Toole, left, in "Lawrence of Arabia" (1962). His work earned him a Golden Globe win and an Oscar nomination.
Omar Sharif appeared in a relative handful of films compared with his colleagues, but many he did were indelible. Here are a few.


Sharif grew his famous mustache at the request of "Arabia" director David Lean, but he didn't always wear it. He's shown here in 1963, a year after "Arabia's" premiere.

Sharif also made 1965's "Doctor Zhivago" with "Arabia" director David Lean. The epic film about a Russian physician was one of the biggest box office hits of the '60s. Sharif is shown here with co-star Geraldine Chaplin.

In 1968, Sharif starred with Barbra Streisand in "Funny Girl," a biography of singer and comedian Fanny Brice. Sharif played Nicky Arnstein, Brice's husband.

Streisand and Sharif attend the premiere of "Funny Girl" in 1968. At the time, Sharif was one of the biggest stars in the world.

"Funny Lady," released in 1975, was a sequel to "Funny Girl." Both Sharif and Streisand reprised their roles.

Julie Andrews and Sharif appear in a scene from the 1974 movie "The Tamarind Seed." The Cold War tale marked Andrews' return to movies after four years away and was directed by her husband, Blake Edwards.

Blake Edwards also directed Sharif in 1976's "The Pink Panther Strikes Again." The star, uncredited, played an assassin.

In an unlikely role for the dapper Sharif, he played a secret agent in 1984's "Top Secret!" a parody of spy films and Elvis movies created by the "Airplane!" writers and directors.

Sharif won a Cesar award -- the French Oscar -- for his performance in 2003's "Monsieur Ibrahim." He plays a Turkish-Muslim shopkeeper who befriends a lonely Jewish boy.

Sharif accepts his Cesar Award at the 2004 ceremony.

Sharif shows his hand during the Sunday Times International Bridge Pairs Championships, at the Hyde Park Hotel, London, in 1980. Sharif was a champion bridge player and had a regular column about the card game.

Sharif shows the Golden Lion he received for his career achievement during a ceremony at the Venice Lido in 2003.

Writer Clyde Jeavons and Sharif attend the "Lawrence of Arabia" restoration screening in 2012. The film is perhaps director David Lean's finest use of widescreen, particularly in the scene in which Sharif emerges from the distant desert.
