Omar Sharif, Doctor Zhivago Star, Dies
15:11, UK, Friday 10 July 2015
Doctor Zhivago star Omar Sharif has died after suffering a heart attack in hospital in Cairo, aged 83.
The Egyptian-born actor had been in a hospital for patients suffering from Alzheimer's disease, his agent said.
The Egyptian-born actor rose to international stardom with his role in the 1962 epic Lawrence Of Arabia - his first English-language film.
He earned an Oscar nomination for his turn as Sherif Ali in David Lean's iconic film opposite Peter O'Toole.
Sharif followed the breakthrough performance with the title role in Lean's Doctor Zhivago, co-starring Julie Christie.
He then played Fanny Brice's husband, Nicky Arnstein, in Funny Girl alongside Barbra Streisand.
His grandson, Omar Sharif Jr, posted a picture of himself and the actor on Facebook on 3 July with the message: "I love you."
His last completed feature film credits were in 2013.
