Not sure how to make the pic show. Apologies.
We have lost a true icon.
RIP Sir.
To say that this artist was huge in the world of Bond is an understatement.
Thoughts and prayers to his family, and to all who care for him.
Just read the news. Rest in peace Mr Lee.
I certainly agree and what a nice quote to use.

While Lee wasn't my favourite Dracula, repeats of his Dracula films are among my earliest of horror memories, and no doubt went some way to making me the horror buff that I am today. I trust that wherever he is, he is joined by friends and fellow horror actors, Vincent Price & Peter Cushing, the three of them causing merry hell together.
R.I.P. Sir Christoper Frank Carandini Lee
A lot of people think so including myself the films he starred in won loads of Oscars and baftas etc but personal accolades were far and few between.
The first horror film I remember seeing was HORROR OF DRACULA (1958), on U.S. television in the late 1960s... That incredible ending blew my 7-year old mind! Made me a lifelong fan.
Requiescat in pace, Sir Christopher.
A close friend of mine met him a few years ago and Sir Christopher retold an amusing story to her. Lee had recently returned from the Thai island that TMWTGG was filmed on. It was a very low key personal visit (without any publicity or media attention). He wasn't very impressed and found the island had been spoilt by tourism nowadays. But the funny thing was that no one recognised him at all and apparently some Japanese tourists even asked him to take a photo of them whilst they posed like Bond/Scaramanga back-to-back on the beach. He didn't let on who he was and took their photo! He laughed telling this story apparently.
