Veteran British actor Christopher Lee dies at 93
Online Edition
BRITISH actor Christopher Lee, the ultimate movie villain who played Dracula and starred in "The Lord of the Rings", has died aged 93, a local government official told AFP Thursday.
"I can confirm we issued a death certificate on June 8. Mr. Christopher Lee died on June 7th," said a spokeswoman for the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea in London.
According to The Daily Telegraph newspaper, Lee died in hospital, where he had been treated for respiratory problems and heart failure over the preceding three weeks.
"The family wishes to make no comment," his agent told AFP.
Tall, pale and with a deep, resonating voice, Lee will forever be remembered for his spine-chilling performance as Dracula in the cult Hammer Horror movies.
He went on to scare a new generation as Saruman in the adaptation of J. R. R. Tolkien's "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy and as Count Dooku in the "Star Wars"
