Another great loss for the acting world. I had heard about his suffering from Alzheimer's, so that couldn't have made his last few years very good. But certainly he leaves a legacy, both with LAWRENCE OF ARABIA and DOCTOR ZHIVAGO (both directed by one Sir David Lean).

"I think honesty is of the first, utmost importance in art... any art. After that comes technique and... after that comes talent. Honesty is first. All the rest of the things are important, too, but they're secondary. Without honesty, I don't care how much technique you have, you have nothing."--Linda Ronstadt

He will be missed..
