Omar Sharif was born Michel Demitri Shalhoub on April 10, 1932 in Alexandria, Egypt to Joseph Shalhoub, a Lebanese immigrant and timber merchant, and his wife, Claire Shalhoub who was an Egyptian of Lebanese and Syrian descent.

In 1953, he began his acting career with a role in the Egyptian film, Sira` Fi al-Wadi, (English, The Blazing Sun or Struggle in the Valley or Fight in the Valley). Numerous Egyptian productions followed. His first English language film was Lawrence of Arabia in 1962, in which he played the Sherif Ali. This performance earned him a Best Supporting Actor Oscar nomination and worldwide fame. He also played the title role in the 1965 film, Dr. Zhivago by David Lean. After a period in which he made headlines more for being a professional bridge player than an actor, he made a comeback with the film adaptation of the novel Monsieur Ibrahim et les fleurs du Coran.

Raised a Catholic, he converted to Islam to marry renowned Egyptian actress Faten Hamama in 1955 and took the name Omar al-Sharif. The marriage lasted almost 20 years and ended in 1974, producing one child Tarek Sharif (b. 1957), who appeared in Doctor Zhivago as Yuri at the age of 8. Rumours that Sharif would have married actress Sohair Ramzi in 1977, have turned out to be untrue. In fact, he never remarried and his attempt to restore his relationship with ex-wife Faten Hamama after returning to Egypt failed

If anyone has Omar's phone number, would you send it along or ask him if he'd like to meet for coffee next weekend? Omar Shariff has been one of my favorites since I was a kid.
