Author Existence Failure is when a creator dies leaving unfinished work. As far as I know, this isn\'t the case with O\'Toole.


Regarded as one of the best actors of all time, he received 8 AcademyAward nominations [[AwardSnub but never won]]. However, in 2003 the Academy gave him a [[ConsolationPrize Honorary Oscar]] for his entire body of work and his lifelong contribution to film. On 10 July 2012, Mr. O'Toole announced his retirement from acting.
