Omar Sharif! *swoons* I love the first part of Lawrence of Arabia- before all the fighting, when he and Peter o'Toole are handing out- blond and blue eyed goodness with dark Egyptian goodness- sighs

Are you sure it was a famous person who played Jem (the brother)? Or are you referring to the character of Boo Radley - played by Robert Duvall, in one of his earliest roles?
