More than 50 years after Omar Sharif’s star-making turn in Lawrence of Arabia, the actor is getting the Google Doodle treatment on what would have been Sharif’s 86th birthday.

Google is paying tribute to legendary actor Sharif, who was 83 years old when he diedafter suffering a heart attack in 2015. Sharif, who had a son with his spouse and actress Faten Hamama, also appeared in films such as Funny Girl, Doctor Zhivago and Genghis Khan. Sharif is the grandfather of actor and model Omar Sharif Jr.

Omar Sharif’s animated Google Doodle was created by Sophie Diao and is meant to show the actor in “true dashing form,” Google says.

5 Things to Know About the Hollywood Icon Omar Sharif

50多年前，演员奥玛尔·沙里夫因参演电影《阿拉伯的劳伦斯》一炮而红。在沙里夫诞晨86周年之际，谷歌涂鸦特地为他制作了一张定制图标，以纪念这位传奇影星的一生。

2015年，83岁的奥玛尔·沙里夫因心脏病突发去世。沙里夫与同是演员的妻子法丁·哈马麦育有一子，哈马麦也曾因参演《妙女郎》、《日瓦哥医生》、《成吉思汗》等影片而名动一时。当代演员、名模奥玛·沙里夫是他的孙女。

谷歌公司介绍道，奥玛尔·沙里夫的动画纪念图标是由苏菲·迪奥制作的，意在展示沙里夫“真正的潇洒风采”。

好莱坞传奇影星奥玛尔·沙里夫的五件轶事

1. Omar Sharif was born Michel Shalhoub

Sharif was born in Alexandria, Egypt, in 1932, with the given name Michel Demitri Shalhoub. Before becoming an actor, Sharif worked for his father’s lumber company and studied mathematics and physics at Cairo’s Victoria College, the Telegraph reports.

1、曾用名米歇尔·沙尔霍布

据《电讯报》报道，沙里夫1932年出生于埃及的亚历山大港，最初的名字叫米歇尔·德米特里·沙尔霍布。在进军演艺圈之前，沙里夫曾在父亲的木材公司工作，并曾在开罗的维多利亚学院学习过数学和物理学

2. Omar Sharif had a successful film career in Egypt

Before he made his legendary Hollywood entrance in Lawrence of Arabia — starting as a tiny speck on the horizon before galloping into focus on the back of a camel — Sharif appeared in Egyptian films including Struggle in the Valley, A Rumor of Love and There Is a Man In Our House. Sharif parlayed his 1962 appearance in Lawrence of Arabia into a thriving international film career.

2、在埃及的电影事业也相当成功

在他凭《阿拉伯的劳伦斯》一片在好莱坞一炮走红之前，他还曾参演过《山谷中挣扎》、《爱的流言》和《房中有人》等埃及本土影片。但最终令他一跃成为国际一线影星的，仍是1962年在《阿拉伯的劳伦斯》中的亮相。

3. Sharif met his wife on a movie set

Omar Sharif met his spouse on the set of 1954’s Struggle in the Valley and married her shortly thereafter, according to the Guardian. Sharif converted to Islam so that they could be married, and the union lasted 20 years and several more co-starring roles, theTelegraph reports.

The couple divorced in 1974 because of the strain of fame, Sharif said. “It’s not that we stopped loving, it’s that life separated us,” Sharif said in 2001, according to the Telegraph. “After I became famous in the West, I just didn’t see enough of her. She was a famous actress in Egypt, and I was living all over the place, in hotels, not seeing her. And I was afraid that I’d fall in love with some dizzy blonde and leave my beloved wife for her.”

3、在片场认识妻子

据《卫报》报道，奥玛尔·沙里夫在1954年拍摄《山谷中挣扎》时认识了妻子，不久之后便结婚了。为了能与妻子顺利成婚，沙里夫还皈依了伊斯兰教。两人的婚姻维持了20年，期间还多次共同联袂同一部作品。

受名声所累，二人最终于1974年离了婚。据《电讯报》报道，沙里夫2001年曾说过：“并不是我们不爱对方，只是那样的生活将我们分开了。我在西方出了名后，我经常没有很多时间陪她。她也是埃及的一位知名演员，而我经常在各种地方跑来跑去，住在酒店里，没有陪伴她。我经常担心某天我会爱上一个金发美女，并为她离开我亲爱的妻子。”

4.Sharif received the first UNESCO Einstein Medal

UNESCO’s Sergei Eisenstein Medal is given to “deserving individuals from the world of cinematography for their contribution to cultural diversity and a dialogue among peoples.” Sharif — who brought characters including an Armenian king, a Mongol leader, a Russian doctor and an Arab warrior to life on the big screen — won the inaugural medal in 2005.

5. Omar Sharif was also a skilled bridge player

Though Omar Sharif is primarily remembered as Hollywood royalty, he was also one of the world’s best-known bridge players, according to the World Bridge Federation. Sharif wrote a syndicated column about the game for the Chicago Tribune, wrote several books on the topic, lent his name to a bridge game and even founded the Omar Sharif Bridge Circus, which played exhibition matches.

４、被联合国教科文组织授予首届爱森斯坦奖

联合国教科文组织的谢尔盖爱森斯坦奖主要授予“为促进文化多样性和人的交流做出杰出贡献的电影界人士”。沙里夫的一生中，在大屏幕上饰演过的角色多种多样，包括亚美尼亚国王、俄罗斯医生和阿拉伯战士等，因此他在2005年荣获首届爱森斯坦奖。

今天，谷歌Doodle发布了奥玛尔·沙里夫的纪念图标，他生于1932年的今天。

5、技术高超的桥牌大师

据世界桥牌联合会介绍，奥玛尔·沙里夫之所以被很多人铭记，主要是因为他在电影界的杰出成就。然而鲜为人知的是，他也是世界最出名的桥牌大师之一。沙里夫曾为《芝加哥论坛报》专门写过关于桥牌的专栏，还曾出过几本关于桥牌的书。他还冠名了一款桥牌游戏，甚至举办过奥玛尔沙里夫桥牌巡演，到各地举办桥牌表演赛。

在他的生日这天缅怀奥玛尔·沙里夫，以及他在《阿拉伯的劳伦斯》中的搭档彼得·奥图。
