June 11, 2015 17:37

The Telegraph's obit on Sir Christopher Lee: "It was the 1958 film Dracula Has Risen From The Grave that made him a star. He played Count Dracula opposite Sir Peter Cushing as Van Helsing. He and Cushing remained the closest of friends until the latter's death in 1994. More Dracula films followed in 1960s for the Hammer studio, but the actor was keen to move on. In a 2011 interview with the Telegraph, he said: "Please don't describe me as a 'horror legend'. I moved on from that.

"The film of which he was most proud was Jinnah, in which he played the founder of Pakistan. It is certainly the most important role I have ever played, because the responsibility on my shoulders was immense, he explained."
