M Sidd you make a good point about Peter o Toole and drinking ,it’s thought it was an image he cultivated ,he did drink but I think it was over blown ,he and Richard Harris loved to tell tall tales , the pair of them were great story tellers

I'm beginning to agree with those who seem to think the 'hellraiser' tag, if you will, was a part of the act perhaps or one that wasn't the entire fabric of his being in those days. How can one be so articulate and well spoken and well read if one were drinking and doing whatever it is that gives one the title? A charming collection of interviews. Thank you for uploading. If we can view the entire Michael Parkinson interview anywhere, please do advise. Thanks again.

Being known as a 'hellraiser' doesn't necessarily mean whiskey on one's cornflakes. The interviews come first, the hellraising later (unless you were Ollie Reed). I've rarely seen O'Toole, Harris et al too inebriated to articulate themselves correctly or hold court in a coherent manner. As for being well read/spoken/articulate, that would tend to be the result of an education and an enduring love for the English language. The whole 'hellraiser' tag was foisted upon O'Toole and one or two of his peers by the media, something which on the one hand they probably found somewhat of an irritant, but on the other hand yes I'm sure there *was* the temptation to play it up, certainly. This is not the same a calling it "a part of the act", though. I think the acting was done in front of the cameras, everything else was for real.

Most alcoholics are the best drunk drivers and liars and writer’s and poets so I expect nothing but commitment in an addict and peters other addiction was the acting

One can tell O' Toole despises Russell Harty (like all the best people did).... keeping his contempt under control out of respect for the audience...looking his prey up and down, *tolerating* him...nothing more, nothing less.

He was perfect for T.E.Lawrance. They were both a bit unconventional.

He is only 48 here and he looks 78. Great actor, I guess that's due to smoking and drinking most of his life.
