OMAR SHARIF

Egyptian actor Omar Sharif is best known for his roles in the films Lawrence of Arabia and Doctor Zhivago. Throughout his career, he was the recipient of prestigious awards such as the César Award and three Golden Globe Awards. Unfortunately, he passed away at the age of 83. At the time, being an Arab in the Hollywood industry was a rare occurrence to see, so it was a big success when Sharif was recognized in his career.

His role in Lawrence of Arabia earned him an Oscar nomination and helped boost his career to international fame. He was one of the few actors in Hollywood who remained a bachelor throughout his life, never marrying or having children. Despite that, he considered himself one of the luckiest actors in Hollywood, as he never found himself getting bankrupt and having to take on money loans in the span of his career.
