Peter O'Toole won his career-making (and legendary) part as T.E. Lawrence after it was turned down by superstar Marlon Brando and a then-unknown Albert Finney. Director Sir David Lean and producer Sam Spiegel wanted Brando. Spiegel had produced On the Waterfront (1954), the movie for which Brando and Spiegel had won their first Oscars. But Brando turned the role down, allegedly saying he didn't want to spend two years of his life riding on a camel. Their second choice Finney was put through extensive screen tests costing 100-thousand pounds sterling, but he refused to sign a 7-year contract demanded by Spiegel. O'Toole signed the 7-year contract and got the part.
