Celebrities : In Memory Of : Omar Sharif (1932 – 2015)

In 2015, we said farewell to one of my favorite actors, an unforgettable screen legend, Omar Sharif.  He may be gone but he is not forgotten.  At least not by me.

One of the few actors in American cinema from back in my day, who was not American or even of Western / European descent. He was Egyptian, born in Alexandria. Remembered (especially by me) for his role in Dr. Zhivago and for the fact that he was just an absolutely gorgeous man.

Honestly! You're a loyal fan and think you know all there is to know about a celebrity you admire so much. Followed his career while growing up and did not learn until after he departed that his real name was Michel Shalhoub.

Nevertheless ... Goodbye Mr. Sharif. ♥
