CAIRO (AP) — Omar Sharif, the Egyptian-born actor with the dark, soulful eyes who soared to international stardom in movie epics, "Lawrence of Arabia" and "Doctor Zhivago," died Friday. He was 83.

Sharif died of a heart attack in a Cairo hospital, his longtime agent, London-based Steve Kenis, and the head of Egypt's Theatrical Arts Guild, Ashraf Zaki, told The Associated Press. The actor had been suffering from Alzheimer's.

I know most people know him from Doctor Zhivago, but my favorite movie of his was 'Genghis Khan' 1965

I saw Dr. Zhivago three times and it remains one of my all-time favorite films. R.I.P. Omar.
