An Icon of British and international film passes. 
"Christopher Lee, the mystical British actor whose haunting, intimidating performances as Count Dracula, the Frankenstein monster and Fu Manchu made him an icon of horror films and the cinematic embodiment of villainy, has died. He was 93.
According to media reports, Lee died on Sunday morning, June 7 at Westminster Hospital in London after being admitted for respiratory problems and heart failure. The Guardian reported that his wife, former Danish model and painter Gitte Kroencke, decided to release the news days later in order to inform family members first. The couple had been married since 1961."

				I knew that was coming.   ac_natch
			
			
			
				I have it in the back of my mind that he holds the record for the most number of movies an actor has appeared in.
...and, as usual, I am right.

				I respect him as an actor. He will be missed.

I thought the Chinese or Korean actor. ac_toofunny
			 
			
			
				Even though he was Dracula, a scary character, I already knew who Christopher Lee was even when I was a young girl. I watched him often with his pal Peter Cushing. I enjoyed watching him as Count Dooku in the Star Wars series. Can you believe that he preferred doing his own stunts?
I mention this because I know a 60-year old American woman who asked me today, "Who is Christopher Lee? He's an actor?" I rolled my eyes. Where has she been all these years?
			
			
			
				America, of course.
Nuff said.

Yeah and just remember that it was an American that started this thread, so you can take your foot out of your big uncouth Aussie mouth. Do that and maybe, just maybe, I'll take MY foot out of YOUR ass, old man.
			 
			
			
				Calm your flab, flubbertits...I was simply answering her question.
I'm nice that way.
