Happy 90th Birthday Christopher Lee!

[JCoatsworth]

Yep, acting legend Christopher Lee, aka Count Dracula himself, turns 90!!!

Sir Christopher Lee has appeared in over 270 movies and is probably most famous for his portrayals of Dracula, Saruman in the LotR movies and Count Dooku in Star Wars Episodes II and III.

Happy Birthday!!! 🙂

Hard o believe that ol' Chris is 90 now. Course, it's hard to believe that I can remember seeing him in movies when he was just a young pup of 50, too. One of us must be getting old.

Here's a little bit of Christopher Lee/Dracula trivia for you. Lee was the first actor to portray a vampire who was actually shown with retractable fangs. Before him, they all had just regular teeth, and the make up department just painted a couple of marks on the victim's neck whenever needed for closeups.

Happy Birthday Mr.Lee, but I think every knows his best as Saruman from Lord of the Rings 😀

I love this man. I grew up watching him and Peter Cushing in Hammer films. Happy to see he's still kicking around making great movies.
Happy Birthday, Mr. Lee.
