Trivia
ADD TRIVIA
- When Doctor Zhivago was being made, at the end of every day the crew was one day saying that the performance by Alec Guinness was excellent, on another day that Julie Christie was brilliant and on some days that Rod Steiger was superb. Hearing this on a daily basis Sharif got very worried and asked David Lean why he didn't have any great lines to say or some great scene to act. David reassured him by saying that although everyone would love the individual performances of the star cast, after the end of the movie they would only think of him and remember "Yuri".
