Members I Am A Swede Posted June 11, 2015 Members Share Posted June 11, 2015 How sad. But he had a long and successful career which reached new heights in the last decade or so. He also had a very exciting and eventful personal life, and a long happy marriage. You can't ask for much more than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members heffer Posted June 11, 2015 Members Share Posted June 11, 2015 With all due respect to the great Bela Lugosi, RIP to the REAL Dracula Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members quartermainefan Posted June 11, 2015 Members Share Posted June 11, 2015 Gotta disagree on that. Christopher Lee was great, but 85 years later if you still want to effect a Dracula "accent" you are basically doing Lugosi. Lugosi will always be the template for Dracula from the hair to the accent to the formal clothes and cape. If a movie doesn't go that route they are making a conscious effort to not do Lugosi.

Members heffer Posted June 11, 2015 Members Share Posted June 11, 2015 IMO Bela had all the frightfulness of someone's weird eccentric uncle. Lee could just appear on the screen and scare the bejesus out of me with that stare. In fact, he spent one Dracula movie not saying anthing at all.Lugosi was the originator, but CL was the perfector. You say tomAto, I say tomatO.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members applcin Posted June 12, 2015 Members Share Posted June 12, 2015 He was also in the Guinness Book as "The Tallest Leading Actor" at 6'5". I'll have to rewatch Horror of Dracula soon. Lee, Cushing & Gough. Good movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaytimeFan Posted June 12, 2015 Members Share Posted June 12, 2015 He was a grand actor, born into privilege, a man of good humour and great style. He lived a fabulous life. And I loved him in The Man With The Golden Gun. Farewell, Sir. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
