Christopher Lee

Something terrible has happened to the entire world, we've lost Christopher Lee.
He was Count Dracula and he was also Saruman in The Lord of the Rings trilogy.
He starred as Francisco Scaramanga in a James Bond film and as Lord Summerisle in The Wicker Man.
He believed that his greatest performance was as Mohammad Ali Jinnah, the founder of modern Pakistan.

He starred in two Star Wars movies as Count Dooku.
He was a talented actor, a singer and an author too.
Sadly, this fantastic thespian has died at the age of ninety-three.
People are shedding tears as we say goodbye to Christopher Lee.

(Dedicated to Christopher Lee who died on June 7, 2015.)

This is a wonderful dedication. Christopher Lee happens to be one of the best Dracula... I saw my other favorite Dracula Luke Evans, pay respect to him on the day he passed.... Enjoyed. **SKAT**

Christopher Lee was my favorite Dracula. I'm sorry to hear he has died, but at 93 he lived a long life. RIP Christopher Lee.
