Rest In Peace, Sir Christopher Lee

[calliopes_pen]

Sir Christopher Lee has passed away at the age of 93, after suffering from respiratory issues. May he rest in peace. The news was the very first thing I saw on my friends list this morning.

When I didn’t know who he was when I was small, I loved his evil voice in The Last Unicorn. When I was 10 or 11, I fell in love with his Dracula movies, and progressed onward from there through as much of his horror and assorted work as I could find. He was great in almost everything he happened to appear in no matter how truly awful the material around him may have been, and he will be greatly missed.

Does anyone else remember his role in the 90's version of The Tomorrow People? At the time, I loved it.

(I don't have a Christopher Lee as Dracula icon--just one of Nosferatu, and a Bela Lugosi icon, so the former will have to do.)

Oh, hell. Thank you. I hadn't heard.
