Legendary Lawrence of Arabia star Omar Sharif is battling Alzheimer's, his agent has said.
Steve Kenis gave no further details about the 83-year-old or his care. His son, Tarek Sharif, revealed the diagnosis in an interview with Spanish newspaper El Mundo.
The Egyptian-born Sharif rose to international stardom with his role in the 1962 epic Lawrence of Arabia - his first English-language film. He earned an Oscar nomination for his turn as Sherif Ali in David Lean's film opposite Peter O'Toole.
