In the last hour, reports
have circulated that the legendary British actor, Sir Christopher Lee, has
sadly passed away at the age of 93. News of his death has been released today,
but it is reported that the actor died on Sunday at Chelsea and Westminster
hospital in London due to heart and respiratory problems.
Sir
Christopher Lee has made a name for himself through his phenomenal acting
career, as he has starred in well over 250 movies. The most notable
performances in his career have encompassed villainous roles, such as Count
Dracula, Frankenstein, the Wicker Man, Scaramanga [James Bond] and Saruman
[Lord of the Rings].
In 2009, he was knighted
for his services to both drama and charity and later merited with a BAFTA fellowship
in 2011.
For Star Wars fans, Sir
Christopher Lee will always be remembered for his excellent performance as the
notorious Sith Lord, Count Dooku in the Prequels. In addition, he superbly
reprised his role as the Count in the film debut of Star Wars: The Clone Wars [2008].
All our condolences must go out
to Sir Christopher Lee’s family and friends.
