I remember them (especially Lorre) as much for their non-horror roles as for the horror films.

He wrote an autobiography twelve years ago.
Perhaps someone will turn out a complete biography for him in the next few years.
He was alway somewhat reticent regarding his service in the Second World War.
Maybe that can be recounted in more detail with his passing.

Not everyone was unaware of Sir Christopher Lee's status as an exceptional human being.

True.

Students of the second world war and fencers tend to be at least generally aware of his accomplishments.

A picture of this man should be printed beside the word "epic" in the dictionary.

Sad
It is always sad to hear of deaths, Christopher Lee was a childhood hero of mine. I still remember getting scared at his portrayal as Dracula in the old Hammer Horror's when I was a kid. But I am also a fan of some of the music he got involved with.

All I can think to say is Thank You for the endless hours of entertainment, insight, intelligence, you will be sorely missed.

There were many sides to the man, and one was his sense of humor.

Quote:
“The most moving and surprising portion of the conversation was when Lee was recalling his friend Peter Cushing, who had just passed away in the summer of that year. Lee missed his friend terribly but also delighted in telling me the way the two would keep each other entertained in the down time during the shoots of the many films they worked in together. Apparently they were both keen Looney Tunes fans, and used to conduct entire conversations in the voices of their favorite characters. To demonstrate, Lee actually laid his Foghorn Leghorn impersonation on me.”
Intermission

Imagine if he had accepted the role of Eddie in Who Framed Roger Rabbit? He could have been surrounded by all his favorite characters.

I was sorry he passed away.
Piece of weird trivia: all three of the horror stars, Christopher Lee, Vincent Price and Peter Cushing had the same birthday 5/27. Same as mine, but I'm an engineer - go figure.
