millwall32 114 Posted January 29, 2013 like K Richards, he is pickled (preserved) from the inside out but even pickles have a use by date Probably a fair bet but I agree with Mousse: he does seem to have a very strong constitution. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RichardFeynman 16 Posted July 29, 2013 Strange that this is the candidate with the least posts in his forum, I imagined it would be clogged up with Caligula jokes by now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sean 6,314 Posted July 29, 2013 http://www.contactmusic.com/photo/peter_o'toole_1787760 I personnally thought that Peter O`Toole was the weakest candidate on the list until stumbling upon these pictures in which he looks almost as tired and vacant as Zsa Zsa Gabor !

wildstorm 297 Posted August 30, 2013 This article from May (That seems to have gone by unnoticed), states poor health as his reason for retiring from acting. It mentions his previous hospitalization with a viral lung and bladder infection and also alludes to 'persistent health battles' since. Not too mention all those years of alcohol abuse.

Yeah but comparing him to Zsa Zsa Gabor might not give too much cause for hope seeing as how indefeckingstructable she is Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bibliogryphon 9,570 Posted October 15, 2013 I was a bit concerned to see four picks for Peter on the latest death poll is there something in the media that is making people suspicious or is it just a coincindence? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bibliogryphon 9,570 Posted October 21, 2013 Not attending 50th Anniversary of the National Theatre despite playing Hamlet in the first performance. There is no suggestion of diva antics nor an explicit mention of ill health, but one wonders if he were not ill what other reason for not attending would be.
