The veteran actor, immortalised in films from Dracula to The Wicker Man through to James Bond and the Lord of the Rings trilogy, passed away at 8:30am on Sunday morning at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital in London.

His wife, the former Danish model Birgit Kroencke, decided to hold back the information for four days until all family members and friends were informed. The couple had been married for over 50 years and had one daughter, Christina.

The actor was knighted in 2009 for services to drama and charity and was awarded the Bafta fellowship in 2011.

News of his death prompted an outpouring of grief from actors, musicians, and even the Prime Minister, who all paid tribute to Lee’s great talent. His Lord of the Rings co-star Dominic Monaghan and Sir Roger Moore, who played 007 opposite Lee in The Man With The Golden Gun, were among those leading the tributes.http://www.theguardian.com/film/2015...-of-93-dracula

When I was a kid, my best scenario for a Friday night after 10 pm was a Hammer Dracula flick on Friday Fright Night. I loved those movies! RIP, Count.

RIP.

I forgot he was the Man with the Golden Gun.

I never realized that was him at all, huh

I can't even tell what that is???

It's the death of Saruman, you plebe!

Is the reason I ever decided to pick up a comic book. RIP Mr. Lee.

Wrong Lee.

I LOVED that movie and it was the first Bond movie I ever saw in the theater.

Mr Scaramanga with his Golden Gun and third nipple plus Britt Ekland in a bikini!

Totally awesome and the "funhouse" that Bond had to go through was great PLUS the car that turned into an airplane.
