Sad News, RIP Legend

Superb actor :(

RIP indeed - a sad loss......:sad:

One of the most prolific actor in motion picture history, Christopher Lee was born somewhere in England in 1922. His mother was an Italian Countess who was actually descended from the line of Charlemagne, and she was so important that she was allowed to wear the royal seal of Frederich Barbarossa and so MILF-y she had her portrait painted by something like a half-dozen famous Italian artists. One of Lee's ancestors on that side was the Papal Secretary of State who refused to attend the coronation of Napoleon and is buried in the Pantheon in Rome next to Raphael , which seems like kind of a big deal. Lee's father, meanwhile, was a distant relative of Robert E. Lee and was a multi-decorated war hero who'd served as a Colonel in the 60th Kings Royal Rifle Corps during World War I and the Boer

In 1939 Christopher Lee quit his day job, caught a boat to Finland and decided to enlist in the Finnish Army to help them fight off the Soviet invasion of Finland. Lee got geared up to kick some commie asses up and down the frozen wastes of mid-Winter Finland, but didnt see much action and returned home in 1940 to deal with a much bigger and more England-centric problem: Nazis!

Christopher Lee enlisted in the Royal Air Force in 1940, where he worked as an intelligence officer

In North Africa he was attached to the Long Range Desert Group (LRDG), the forerunner of the SAS, where he would jump in a badass ****ing four-wheel-drive jeep with a gigantic machine gun mounted in the back, drive hundreds of miles behind enemy lines, survive the scorching heat of the Sahara Desert, then sneak-attack Luftwaffe airfields by rolling up on them at sixty miles an hour with his .50-caliber machine guns blazing out curtains of white-hot Nazi-smiting justice, planting dynamite on their airplanes, then peeling ass out of there leaving nothing but bullet-riddled corpses and gigantic explosions in his wake. After working with the LRDG, Lee was assigned to the Special Operations Executive – better known as Winston Churchills Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare – a group that did shit like lead a twelve-man assault that destroyed the German top secret nuclear weapons development facility in Norway and assist brave Eastern European partisans and rebels sabotage Nazi supply lines to prevent them from bringing reinforcements up to fight the Soviets. His service records are sealed and Lee doesn't talk much about his service (when pressed on the subject, he reportedly asks his interviewer, "Can you keep a secret?". When they excitedly say yes, he leans in close and says, "So can I."), but we do know that by the time he retired as a Flight Lieutenant in 1945 he'd been personally decorated for battlefield bravery by the Czech, Yugoslavian, English, and Polish governments and was good friends with Josip Broz Tito, so draw your own conclusions. Much more than met the eye. Sad loss indeed !!

 

Alan.......

If anyone thinks Christopher Lee is really dead, they haven't seen enough of his films...

 

PS apparently, he was Ian Fleming's preference for Dr No.
