British Acting Great Dead At 93
Christopher Lee was the greatest Dracula ever. The greatest Bond villain ever. One of the greatest performance in a horror movie ever with Wicker Man. He found mainstream success late in his life thanks to George Lucas and Peter Jackson putting him in Star Wars and Lord of the Rings. And when given the opportunity to play a hero, like in The Devil Rides Out, he proved he could play it as well as he does a villain. RIP
The Wicker Man (1973)
The Man with the Golden Gun (1974)
Lee portrayed Count Dooku in the Star Wars prequels Attack of the Clones (2002) and Revenge of the Sith (2005).
Lee as Saruman in Peter Jackson’s Middle Earth films.
1968’s THE DEVIL RIDES OUT was a film that Lee treasured being a part of.
