Egypt-born Sharif won two Golden Globe awards and an Oscar nomination for his role as Sherif Ali in David Lean's 1962 epic Lawrence of Arabia.
He won a further Golden Globe three years later for Doctor Zhivago.
Earlier this year, his agent confirmed he had been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease.
His agent Steve Kenis said: "He suffered a heart attack this afternoon in a hospital in Cairo."

A flea walks into a travel agency, and tell the fella behind the desk, "I've worked very hard this year and I want to book a holiday." The travel agent replies, "Sure, we've got a great one that I can book for you, it's seven days on Ringo Starr's hair. He's in Nice so should plenty of Sun, beach and good food."

Four days later the flea comes back to the travel agent.
"It was rubbish, he's a drummer, it was loud and he spent all day sleeping and only went out at night"
"Well, Omar Sharif is in Monte Carlo, I'll book you in for seven days on his mustache. There should be plenty of fresh air, sun and beautiful women"

Again the flea returns after four days.
"Omar Sharif plays bridge all day and never left the casino; I didn't see the sun once"
"Ok" replied the travel agent "I've got a special for you. Bridget Bardot is in St Tropez, shall I book you in for a week on her muff?"
"That sounds amazing," said the flea.

Four days later the flea once again walked into the travel agent
"Whats wrong? Did you not like Bridget Bardot?" asked the travel agent.
"No she was wonderful, she spent all day lounging in the sun, waited on hand and foot, eating wonderful food, meeting beautiful people."
"What's wrong why are you back here early?"
"Well, it's strange, after three days I ended up back on Omar Sharif's Moustache!"

It's been 20 years since I have seen Doctor Zhivago but remember it as being very good. Slow and long, but very good.

It was my jimmypasta tribute joke for the year ... figured he'd be the only person with a chance to enjoy it. :D

M'eh ... I get it's purpose among those that tell it as well as to whom they tell it, but it doesn't do a lot for me ... most Shaggy Dog jokes are annoying, but not in an Andy Kaufmann entertaining-annoying way. The "Fuck You, Clown" one is okay, but that's about it.
