My dad died last year at the age of 74. The first time I heard stories of Dracula and my earliest memory of him mentioning anything related to cinema - was him telling me (when I was 7 or 8) that the great actor Christopher Lee played Dracula. So it always amazed me that a name and actor from my ancient memory (Im in my mid-40s now), and I would've thought any actor my dad admired when he was young would have passed away a long time ago, was not only well and alive, but marvellously ingraining another character (Saruman) into my and my 10 year old son's memories! RIP Christopher Lee.
