Was walking in the French Quarter with my wife, Omar Sharif was filming in NO, and while she was looking at an Omar Sharif poster, the actor walked by with a small entourage. Our eyes met, I nodded, he nodded back. As he walked on by I told her that I just spoken to Omar Sharif. She turned and got a chance to see his back side as he walked on down the sidewalk. She’s a big fan, was disappointed she missed out.
Not a big man, probably 5’ 9” or so, maybe 165 pounds.
