Popular Post KK 3,307 Posted June 11, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted June 11, 2015 PJ's touching eulogy for the legend:Sir Christopher LeeIt is with tremendous sadness that I learnt of the passing of Sir Christopher Lee. He was 93 years old, had not been in his usual good health for some time, but his spirit remained, as always, indomitable. Christopher spoke seven languages; he was in every sense, a man of the world; well versed in art, politics, literature, history and science. He was scholar, a singer, an extraordinary raconteur and of course, a marvelous actor. One of my favourite things to do whenever I came to London would be to visit with Christopher and Gitte where he would regale me for hours with stories about his extraordinary life. I loved to listen to them and he loved to tell them - they were made all the more compelling because they were true - stories from his time with the SAS, through the Second World War, to the Hammer Horror years and later, his work with Tim Burton - of which he was enormously proud. I was lucky enough to work with Chris on five films all told and it never ceased to be a thrill to see him on set. I remember him saying on my 40th Birthday (he was 80 at the time), “You’re half the man I am”. Being half the man Christopher Lee is, is more than I could ever hope for. He was a true gentleman, in an era that no longer values gentleman. I grew up loving Christopher Lee movies. For most of my life I was enthralled by the great iconic roles he not only created - but continued to own decades later. But somewhere along the way Christopher Lee suddenly, and magically, dissolved away and he became my friend, Chris. And I loved Chris even more. There will never be another Christopher Lee. He has a unique place in the history of cinema and in the hearts of millions of fans around the world. The world will be a lesser place without him in it. My deepest sympathies to Gitte and to his family and friends. Rest in peace, Chris. An icon of cinema has passed into legend.

Matt C 452 Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 RIP.The first film I saw with Lee, outside the LOTR trilogy and SW prequels, was Howling 2: Your Sister Is a Werewolf. I don't know if he needed money or lost a bet, but that movie is gloriously awful. And Lee's '80s shades.... has to be seen to be believed.He had a rich and varied resume, I can say that much. A definite screen legend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red 75 Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 What a life this man lead. Sad that a true legend's no longer with us but he had an incredible run. Any one of his achievements would have been enough of a highlight for a lifetime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
