Peter O'Toole died today after an extended illness, according to multiple sources. He was 81 years of age.If the only role that O'Toole ever played was that of T.E. Lawrence, he would forever go down as one of the greatest actors of his or any generation.

Thus, Willem (now age 10) and Miranda (now age 9) open up the continuing series of Ghibli discussions with Castle in the Sky.
