Peter O'Toole is confident a new film written by an English medic is the key to his first Oscar. The veteran actor, who has been nominated eight times in the Best Actor category but has only won an honorary Oscar, believes Love And Vision is his ticket to Academy Award success.


Oscar nominee Peter O'Toole is in final negotiations to bring one of America's most beloved art pieces to the big screen. Movie bosses at Lionsgate plan to turn artist Thomas Kinkade's A Christmas Cottage painting into the focus of a new film about how the piece was inspired.


Veteran actor and former hellraiser Peter O'Toole has branded Irish women the most beautiful in the world - because of their shapely bottoms. The Venus star, 74, was born in County Galway, Ireland, and believes he knows exactly how native ladies gain such attractive behinds.


Veteran actor Peter O'Toole may be wowing the critics in his latest film Venus, but co-star Leslie Phillips doesn't believe his pal will scoop the Best Actor Oscar on Sunday.

Phillips desperately hopes his friend wins the esteemed trophy but deep down he's convinced Forest Whitaker will triumph for his portrayal of Ugandan dictator Idi Amin.


AP - Peter O'Toole has a hangover. And he's relishing it.
