Omar Sharif (April 10, 1932 - July 10, 2015) was an Egyptian actor, generally regarded as one of his countrys greatest male film stars. The son of a precious wood merchant, he grew up in a united Christian family of Syrian and Lebanese descent with his parents and his sister. Enrolled at Victoria College, a prestigious British school in Alexandria, the teenager studied science, and foreign languages, and would later discover theater classes. A brilliant student, he continued his studies at Cairo University where he obtained his diploma in mathematics and physics. He later converted to Islam.In 1962, he took on the role of Prince Sherif Ali in Lawrence of Arabia under the direction of David Lean. This film, the first outside Egypt for the actor, marked the beginning of a long friendship with Peter OToole and a turning point in Omar Sharifs career. He won the Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actor and decided to leave his native country for Hollywood.
