I miss you Omar Sharif. You were a big part of my childhood, even if it was just watching you in your great movies like Lawrence of Arabia, Doctor Zhivago, and Funny Girl. I always thought you were the most handsome man I had ever seen. I often think of your son, Tarek. He must miss you terribly. I hope you are doing okay, Tarek. You can be forever proud of your father. He always displayed the utmost class and refinement you don't find anymore. Thank God we are able to memorialize Omar through his movies by watching them again and again.

MY CONDOLENCES TO THE FAMILY. I WAS SORRY TO READ ABOUT THE PASSING. MAY GOD COMFORT YOU IN THE DAYS TO COME.

So glad he had the time to fulfill the wish to be with family as he aged after an active movie presence All will recall him with admiration for the roles he took and did with an intuition and performan to be admired. In a more recent interview, he spoke of doing more in life of import. The arts require one's youth. He found a greater balance later, and hopefully both Mr. Sharif and his family met in the place where caring and leisure were fused with satisfaction, understanding and love.


appreciated his work and hope the family, in the end, forgives the time he gave over to his craft. He did realize he might not have gotten the very best balance and hope his family understands an artistic necessity have involved other

My deepest sympathy to the Sharif family. I remember my mother talking about how she loved to see the movies Mr Sharif acted in because of his accent and charisma. He will truly be missed by many. The words of Daniel 12:13 tells us that our loved ones are only resting and will be made to stand again. Keep that promise close in heart and mind. Many thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.

i am an armenian living in egypt and i had the privilege to have seen a lot of his egyptian films that i loved more than his international career. dr. zhivago was banned during a time and i first saw it in the lebanon. the passion and love he gave in that film simply jumped out of the screen with an incredible chemistry with julie christie. he was definitely a gentleman definitely a handsome humble one and definitely eternally a prince. rip dear sir and my sincere condolences to his family.

July 11, 2015

Omar El-Sherif as I grew up watching him in Arabic speaking Egyptian films was as charming and talented as I saw him later in western movies. He was original and rare talent with a suave and voice of a proud Arab. His elegance and off and on screen presence touched so many lives through his movies and storytelling. He loved Egypt and likes to call himself the son of Alexandria. He will be terribly missed in these turbulent times. Deeply missedforever remembered.

AGAIN, SORRY ABOUT THE TWO ENTRIES I TURNED IN, ON OMAR SHARIF, THAT DIDN'T GET COMPLETED, MY COMPUTER HAS BEEN ACTING UP TERRIBLY, BUT AS I WAS TYPING, OMAR SHARIF, AND THE ACTOR FROM "STAR WARS", BILLY DEE WILLIAMS, BILLY RECEIVED A COMPLEMENT, BECAUSE HE WAS A GOOD ACTOR, AND NICE LOOKING TOO, AND PEOPLE AND CRITICS CALLED HIM THE "BLACK OMAR SHARIF". BILLY WOULD LAUGH ABOUT THIS, BUT THOUGHT IT WAS A COMPLEMENT, TOO, AND APPRECIATED IT. I THINK BILLY PORTRAYED, LANDO, OR LANDAU CALRISSIAN. I SURE WILL MISS OMAR SHARIFF, IN OUR HOME TOWN NEWSPAPER, OMAR WOULD OFFER BRIDGE TIPS, FOR SEVERAL YEARS, AND THEN ON DAY, HE WASN'T THERE ANY MORE. I GUESS THIS IS WHEN HE STARTED TO GET DEMENTIA. I KNOW BARBARA STREISAND WILL MISS HIM, TOO, SHE STARRED WITH HIM IN "FUNNY GIRL". HE WILL LEAVE BEHIND A HUGE AND GREAT LEGACY OF FILMS, AND I HOPE THE ACADEMY AWARDS ARCHIVES, ON PRESERVING FILMS, WILL TAKE GOOD CARE OF HIS. HIS WORK IS FOR THE GENERATIONS, PAST, PRESENT, AND HOPEFULLY, FOR THE FUTURE. SURE AM GOING TO MISS HIM, ANOTHER PART OF MY PAST GONE.

I offer a sincere commemorative voice of admiration and the deepest respect for Mr. Michel Demitri Chalhoub (Omar Sharif). The film perseverance and dedication will be extremely hard to fill, his service, loyalty, and humility will be very much missed in the film and movie industry. Omar's movie Lawrence of Arabia was on the silver screen for all the world to hold in a reflection on the positive impact and contribution to the greatest movie of all times. Omar will be deeply missed as a great actor and performer for the silver screen.
