Born Michel Chalhoub in 1932, he started in Egyptian cinema in the early 1950s before Lean cast him opposite Peter O'Toole in Lawrence of Arabia (1962), earning an Oscar nomination. Doctor Zhivago (1965) made him a global romantic lead and won him a Golden Globe. He moved between Hollywood productions - Funny Girl (1968), Genghis Khan (1965), Che! (1969) - and European work, speaking five languages and chafing at Nasser's travel restrictions in the 1960s. His 100-film career stretched into old age with Monsieur Ibrahim (2003), and he kept working until 2015, the year he died. He was a world-class bridge player, a horse racing devotee, and one of 25 people ever given UNESCO's Eisenstein Medal.
