In this episode of FORGOTTEN HISTORY host Colin Heaton takes a
look back at the intriguing life of English-born actor Sir Christopher Lee.
Before his legendary roles as Count Dracula, Saruman the White in the
Lord of the Rings, James Bond villain Scaramanga, and Count Dooku,
Sith Lord and central figure in the Clone Wars of the Star Wars franchise,
Christopher Lee played a significant part in a real-life battle that was far more
dangerous than any of the characters he later portrayed on the Big Screen.
A highly decorated war hero of World War II, Lee served in the
Royal Air Force and was quietly recruited into Britain's elite special
forces-the SOS and SOE- in which he was sent on daring missions
behind enemy lines-some of which remain classified to this day.
From hunting Nazis to inspiring Ian Fleming's famous character
James Bond, Sir Christopher Lee not only remains one of the most
fascinating men of the 20th century, but the first successful
geriatric heavy metal music artist in world history!
