Great actor and even better bridge player. Loved him in Lawrence of Arabia and Dr. Zhivago.

And Funny Girl.

When my parents were teaching me how to play bridge, my mom would show me his bridge column which was carried in our local newspaper (next to the comics) and we'd test out his sample plays. Good stuff!

A great actor from my favorite movie, Lawrence of Arabia.

Had no idea until I read the obit that he was the same guy who co-wrote the bridge column in the funny papers for thirty years. Amazing.

A great actor from my favorite movie, The Pink Panther Strikes Again.
