AFP - Egyptian actor Omar Sharif will refuse to pay a 455,000-dollar civil judgement made against him stemming from a scuffle with a Beverly Hills valet, the Los Angeles Times reported on Wednesday.
Veteran actor Omar Sharif has been ordered to pay $318,000 in damages to a parking attendant he punched in 2005. The Doctor Zhivago star was leaving Mastro's Steakhouse in Beverly Hills, California when he tried to pay Guatemalan valet Juan Anderson for his car in euros.


In 1976 a collection of 55 treasures from the tomb of the Pharaoh Tutankhamun left the Cairo Museum en route to the United States. It took the country by storm and introduced millions of Americans to these wonders of the ancient world.


A California judge has ordered Omar Sharif to take anger management classes, to stay away from Juan Anderson, whom Sharif allegedly struck and called a "stupid Mexican," and to not come within 100 yards of the restaurant where the incident occurred. Sharif was also placed on probation and fined $1000.

In June 2005, in addition to Sharif's racial remark against Anderson, Sharif was accused of breaking Anderson's nose because his car was not waiting for him. The suit also accused Sharif of intoxication and belligerency.
