Blindspot, new tv series set to debut in September QUOTE Starring Jaimie Alexander -- A vast international plot explodes when a beautiful Jane Doe is discovered naked in Times Square, completely covered in mysterious, intricate tattoos with no memory of who she is or how she got there. There’s one that’s very clear, however: the name of FBI agent Kurt Weller, emblazoned across her back. “Jane,” Agent Weller and rest of the FBI quickly realize that each mark on her body is a crime to solve, leading them closer to the truth about her identity and the mysteries to be revealed |

QUOTE (Doc @ Jul 10 2015, 01:32 PM)  Bet if they put him on a proper track after a few laps he woukd be real quick. I believe it was that same car that went into hay bales on the outside of a corner later in the week. Wasn't a hard hit but the fibreglass didn't look pretty / would have ended the cars weekend. |

loved his work in Lawrence of Arabia. R.I.P. QUOTE Omar Sharif, Star of 'Lawrence of Arabia,' Dies of Heart Attack at 83
Hollywood actor Omar Sharif who rose to fame for his roles in "Lawrence of Arabia" and "Doctor Zhivago" has died. He was 83. He passed away in Cairo on Friday afternoon after suffering a heart attack, his agent told NBC News. Omar Sharif seen during the photo call for the film 'Al Mosafer (The Traveler)' in 2009. Andrew Medichini / AP, file He was known to be suffering from Alzheimer's disease. His grandson, Omar Sharif Junior, last week posted a picture of the two together on his Facebook page with the message: "I love you." Born in Egypt to a Syrian-Lebanese family, he was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor in 1962 for playing Sherif Ali in "Lawrence of Arabia," a movie that launched him to stardom. Three years later he starred as the title character in Doctor Zhivago. He tallied 118 acting credits, according to IMDB, and had been due to appear in a short movie '1001 Inventions and the World of Ibn Al-Haytham.' He was also an accomplished bridge player and keem gambler, reportedly once winning a million dollars at an Italian casino but also losing a villa in Lanzarote, Spain as a result of a card game in the 1970s. Sharif was not "Lawrence of Arabia" director David Lean's first choice to play Sherif Ali. the tribal leader with whom T.E. Lawrence teams up to help lead the Arab revolt against the Ottoman Empire. Lean had hired another actor but dropped him because his eyes weren't the right color. The film's producer, Sam Spiegel, went to Cairo to search for a replacement and found Sharif. He remained a sought-after actor for many years, playing Argentine-born revolutionary Ernesto "Che" Guevara in "Che!", Italian Marco Polo in "Marco the Magnificent" and Mongol leader Genghis Khan in "Genghis Khan." He was also the Jewish gambler Nick Arnstein opposite Barbra Streisand's Fanny Brice in "Funny Girl." The 1968 film was banned in Egypt because he was cast as a Jew. In his middle years Sharif began appearing in such films as "The Pink Panther Strikes Again," "Oh Heavenly Dog!," "The Baltimore Bullet" and others he dismissed as "rubbish." He suffered a public embarrassment in 2007 when he pleaded no contest to misdemeanor battery and was ordered to take an anger management course for punching a parking valet in Beverly Hills. He was also involved in a scuffle at a Paris casino in 2003. He spent much of his later years in Cairo and at the Royal Moncean Hotel in Paris. |
