Christopher Lee, a veteran Hollywood actor who played several horrific and fantasy roles in a long career lasting more than six decades, is dead.
The British actor who turned 93 on May 27, 2015, rose to fame when he played iconic monsters such as Frankenstein’s creature and the mummy in Hammer Films productions throughout the ’50s, ’60s and ’70s.
Among others iconic roles in movies like Star Wars and Lord of the Rings, he will surely be remembered most of all for bringing a feral sexuality to the role of vampire Count Dracula in several Hammer films.
