Christopher Lee, R.I.P.

I was very bummed about reading this.... Really liked him as an actor and my first exposure to him was Dracula.

R.I.P. Mr. Lee........
 
Oh, man. Loved him in "The Wicker Man" and the Dracula movies. A true gentleman.

And I only found out a few years ago that he played an uncredited role in the 1960s version of "Ten Little Indians". You know the recorded voice that says, "Ladies and gentlemen, you are charged with the following crimes..."?

Christopher Lee, Ron Moody (the guy who played Fagin in Oliver!), Jazz great Ornette Coleman, and Dusty Rhodes.

R.I.P, all of you.

BL.

Yes, I just spotted that the death of Ron Moody had been announced, (he was excellent in Oliver!) shortly after the death of Christopher Lee had been made public. Thoroughly enjoyed Christopher Lee as an actor - he had an excellent range, and could convey camp and menace with equal conviction.

RIP to them both.

Agree that Christopher Lee was brilliant in 'The Wicker Man' - a stunning movie.
 
I first heard about this and Ornette Coleman on Blade Forums of all places. It's sad to see all of them go, I think I'd like to slow the march of time.
 
The Godfather of Dracula movies in my opinion, I grew up on Hammer movies, of which he appeared in a few, will be sadly missed, God has a rival now.

Hammer Films had the most wonderfully chesty actresses. They and their buxom charms transfixed this little kid in the early 70s.
 
The library is getting me his autobiography thru ILL. Too bad I didn't even know he wrote it until I read it in the obits. Shame on me. 😡

should be a good read, he would've had an interesting life, especially as you mentioned starring opposite those well-proportioned ladies, lucky man 😉

Christopher Lee literally lived up to the famous advertising tagline, The Most Interesting Man in the World. Fluent in multiple languages and a World War II hero, not only did he have a great career in horror movies, but got himself famous again by play Saruman in the Lord of the Rings movies.
