During the making of “Lawrence of Arabia” in 1961, O’Toole was the toast of European society as excitement grew about the epic movie. The cast and crew moved to Seville, Spain, for the shooting of final scenes.
At a party at the home of Gen. Francisco Franco’s daughter, Carmen, O’Toole met April Ashley, a model and fashion icon who, unbeknownst to him, was transgender. She invited him back to her villa. At a climactic moment in the early hours, she whispered in O’Toole’s ear, “I was born a boy.” She later claimed, “Peter was too far gone at that point to worry about what sex I had been born.”
