Don’t forget he was “The Man With The Golden Gun” who battled James Bond, too.

Neat story about his serving in Finland against the Soviets.
Anti-Soviet and anti-Nazi. Definitely both pluses.

When setting up the scene for Saurman’s Death by being stabbed in the back by Wormtounge, the Peter Jackson tried to tell him what noises to make when he got stabbed.

Lee told him that he new quite well what sounds a man makes when he gets stabbed in the back. No one questioned him beyond that.

This thread or the article isn’t about Jimmy Stewart.

It’s about a GREAT living actor, Christopher Lee.

A living legend.

Try reading the article before posting next time.

No, he’s alive. The other night, we saw him in an early 60s episode of “The Alfred Hitchcock Hour”, so I got curious and looked up his Wikipedia page. He is a conservative, he’s 90 years old, and he sings and records HEAVY METAL albums, LOL! Wow.

I have a book about Sherlock Holmes, sort of a Sherlock Encyclopedia.

I noticed Christopher Lee had written a nice introduction, he clearly knew a lot about Sherlock.

Big Hollywood runs occasional articles about performers who served in the military.

I’m almost sure they’ve featured General Stewart already; today’s profile is about Sir Christopher.

Lee did a great job as Sherlock Holmes in The Hound of the Baskerville remake.

[Bratch]

He's portrayed the character.

Sherlock Holmes and the Deadly Necklace (1962)

So he was with the Nazi’s before he was against them? He sounds confused.

[Bratch]

Actually, he played Sir Henry in The Hound of the Baskervilles.

It was his frequent movie partner, Peter Cushing, that portrayed the famous sleuth.

He fought the Sovs with the Finns when the Sovs and Nazis were allied.

Good to know about Christopher Lee’s war record & that he is still with us.

IMO he was the best of the Draculas. An interviewer asked him about his Dracula teeth & Lee opened his mouth; his natural teeth were long as piano keys & makeup only had to add the long canines.

“The Wicker Man” was chilling. I have it on DVD. I think I will watch it again today, before Denny Hamlin wins Richmond!
