Christopher Lee entered my childhood consciousness in Airport 77, playing one half of the troubled marriage between his character and that of the amazing and beautiful Lee Grant. I used to call them the Lee's and thought they were married in real life (ah, to be 8 and impressionable).
Christopher Lee has been working it since 1946 and never stopped. And gave us great performances in some of the most fun genres from Bond to horror to action and sci fi. And some of the best villains ever.
Who could say they held the golden gun, a light saber and a wizard's staff in one lifetime. What a life of play and hard work. Rest easy Prince of Darkness, Istari from Valinor, and Sith Lord!
