Recommended Posts

The veteran actor Sir Christopher Lee has died aged 93 after being hospitalized with respiratory problems, The Associated Press and Reuters reported Thursday.

 

In a film career spanning seven decades, his iconic roles included the wizard Saruman in the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, the Jedi master Count Dooku in "Star Wars," and the Bond villain, Francisco Scaramanga, in 1974's "The Man With the Golden Gun," as well as voicing Ansem in the Kingdom Hearts series.

 

He starred as Count Dracula in 10 different movies, and gained cult-hero status for his roles in the Hammer horror series and the 1973 British cult film "The Wicker Man," which was remade in 2006 starring Nicolas Cage.

 

 

He died on Sunday at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital in London but his death was not announced until Thursday.

 

An official for the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea in London on Thursday told The Associated Press a death certificate was issued for Lee on June 8.

 

Lee also enjoyed a long music career that culminated in 2013 on his 91st birthday with him releasing a heavy metal concept album entitled "Charlemagne: The Omens of Death."
