He was the best vampire of all time performer, opponent of James Bond and High Priest of warmongering in “The Lord of the Rings”. At the age of 93 years, the Briton has died in London of a heart attack.
of course Dracula teeth in not critical, but the view. With the eyes of the noble vampire must capture his victims, they must take on so that they indulge him almost willingly. Repelled and attracted at the same time they expect the deadly bite full of dark desire and fear to fall into his arms. Because a true Dracula coat not he seduced. Christopher Lee was the real Dracula
With its high, noble figure, he was an ideal prince of darkness, and so many Draculas it has given to him -. His performance in 1958 Terence Fisher remained unmatched. Here Lee began his film career at the side of the law, had played police officers among others in German Edgar Wallace films. His aristocratic appearance had predestined him for actually heroic figures. But it is precisely this distinction, this gaunt integrity he took then in his Dracula representation and became the noblest of all vampires, the creepy Count of ambivalence.
In fact, Lee came maternal from an old noble family and has also like told. His mother Estelle Marie Carandini di Sarzano The family roots reportedly up in the time of Charlemagne back, and so called Lee’s film company also Charlemagne. His father had been an officer in the British Army, Lee himself served during the Second World War with the Royal Air Force. Then he took off his uniform, from 1947, he made films.
In the period of the Cold War won Christopher Lee Status those of personified evil that made him unforgettable. The figure of icy bloodsucker, the relentless Zubeißers fit in time.
for a superpower that shuns the light of day in the 70 years Lee put his vampire teeth then finally off and got more attractive – In the 60s it was receptive to an absolute evil whose desires no one escapes. roles, such as the villain Francisco Scaramanga in the James Bond film “The Man with the Golden Gun”. Since he is a worthy opponent Roger Moore, The Sorcerer’s Gentlemen. Again and again wrote with Lee on the film history, including supporting roles were his. So you will keep him as Saruman in “The Lord of the Rings” and “The Hobbit” in memory. As the armies he summons as warlike high priest – he has since again this concentrated look of evil seer, who seems already to behold the apocalypse on the horizon. And is not afraid.
He has occasionally made fun with the finest mockery of his performances as Saruman. “Eyebrow Acting” he called his own art, as already over 80-year-old man to proclaim in a white cassock evil wisdom and to give words solely by the facial expressions weight.
For the last part of the “Hobbit “movies he no longer flew to the film set in New Zealand, but turned lonely in front of a green wall in London. “Then you really have to try the imagination,” he commented at the time. Of this had the highly intelligent performer, who spoke 13 languages, including Swahili and Urdu three dialects, most abundant. His characters he invented as complex personalities and film always showed only a fraction. That’s why his game was never boring. That’s why he could again make a great career as an old man. You always saw that he was ahead of its viewers.
However, Lee was not just vampire noble villain and the fallen Jedi Count Dooku in “Star Wars”. At the heart of the Briton was a musician, has performed in musicals, loved Wagner, worked as a spokesman with symphonic metal bands. And when journalists asked him how he could enjoy it just, he clipped only mocking the face -. Eyebrow acting, he dominated them actually
At the age of 93 years Christopher Lee is now in a London clinic died of heart failure. Of course, he lives on – as Dracula
