Summary

Christopher Lee’s film career spanned seven decades. He played "Scaramanga", the lead villain in the James Bond film, The Man with the Golden Gun..."Count Dooku" in the Star Wars prequels...and "Saruman" in The Lord of the Rings trilogy.

Yet, despite his chagrin, perhaps Lee’s most memorable role was the one that first brought him international fame, "Count Dracula". Over a period of years, he not only played the blood-sucking Count in 10 films, but he also found time to play the Frankenstein Monster and The Mummy, among other creepy characters.

Perhaps these roles were enhanced by the nightmares her witnessed during World War II?

Christopher Lee: A One-Person Play by Michael B. Druxman (Lee’s one-time publicist), joins the actor in 1976, as he is about to depart his home in England for the United States. It is his hope that, in America, he will be able to abandon the horror genre, and find a greater variety of roles.

Superb

It’s as if the late Sir Christopher Lee is in the room, listening with me to Jamie Harris’ excellent portrayal. Superb.
