biography
Born in Britain in May 1922, actor Christopher Lee was raised in and around London. At the age of 19, he joined the Royal Air Force and served his country throughout the end of World War II. Following the war, Lee developed a taste for acting and was accepted in the renowned Rank Organisation. Getting his break in films in the late 1940s, Lee was often cast in small roles. Handsome enough to be a leading man, initially his career suffered a bit from his 6'5" height, but his stature later worked to his advantage. Throughout the 1950s, Lee developed his film career in character roles; when he began his long association with Britain's Hammer Film Productions in 1957, he was finally a star. Much as Universal horror actors Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi had done 25 years beforehand, Lee tackled the title monster roles in The Curse of Frankenstein (1957; with Peter Cushing and Hazel Court), Horror of Dracula (1958; with Peter Cushing), and The Mummy (1959; with Peter Cushing and Yvonne Furneaux). In the late 1950s, Hammer Films forged an agreement with Universal to remake that studio's famed monster movie classics from the 1930s and 1940s. Lee made many films for Hammer throughout the 1960s and 1970s.

Although Christopher Lee is best known for his horror reputation, in reality he's acted in a number of comedies, mysteries, and dramas. In the mid to late 1960s, Lee did a series of Fu Manchu films, including The Face of Fu Manchu (1965; with Karin Dor and Nigel Green) and The Castle of Fu Manchu (1969; with Rosalba Neri). And he makes for a terrific Bond villain as Francisco Scaramanga in the 007 thriller The Man with the Golden Gun (1974; with Roger Moore and Britt Eklund).
While the careers of most actors ebb with advancing age, Christopher Lee has proven to be an exception, continuing to act in films into his 80s. While Lee acted in mostly lower-budgeted films in the 1950s through the 1980s, his career now consists of blockbusters, including Sleepy Hollow (1999; with Johnny Depp and Casper Van Dien), the Lord of the Rings trilogy, and Star Wars: Episode II---Attack of the Clones (2002; with Ewan McGregor). Married for more than 40 years, Lee is the father of a daughter.
