Sir Christopher Lee's passing - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

My favorite Lee story (while he was filming Lord of the Rings)...is when he corrected Peter Jackson.

Jackson wanted Saruman to scream out in the scene where Grima stabs him in the back. Lee says "Do you know the noise a person makes when he's stabbed in the back? I do. I know what to do."

One of the best on screen, and sadly it seems the type of men in his profession is a dying breed. Maybe he can be reunited with his old friend Peter Cushing....Lord Tyrannus and Grand Moff Tarkin, in a galaxy, far, far away.
