When
the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences told Peter O'Toole
that he'd be receiving an honorary Oscar for a body of work that
included seven best actor nominations and no wins, he surprised
officials with his response.
While
he would eventually accept the honor, he politely reminded academy
members that he was "still in the game" and that he'd
rather "win the bugger outright."
He
never would. But O'Toole, 81, who died Saturday in a London hospital
following a long illness, would earn an eighth nomination and cement
his legend as yeoman actor, Oscar bridesmaid and poster boy for the
Hollywood hell-raiser.
