I've heard all sorts of lurid stories about how both Peter O'Toole and Omar Sharif gambled away all their earnings from the movie in some dodgy middle eastern casinos before they had actually completed filming and were consequently quite broke afterwards, any truth in that or just mythology? I would be inclined to think that it was true!

When Peter O'Toole appeared on Omar Sharif's THIS IS YOUR LIFE - he told the story of how he had gambled away his earnings and Sharif topped the story by saying not only had he gambled away his earnings on that film, but also on a more recent film he had worked on. The O'Toole anecdote was clearly rehearsed for TIYL - but the spontaneous reply sounded like a man who was telling the truth.

At least Omar was able to put his mug and name on a software card game, Omar Shariff's Bridge.
