Christopher Lee was born in May 1922 in the capital of the United Kingdom. He was born in a simple family. His parents were teachers, who were very much fond of art and theater. That is why they were educating their children in the same atmosphere. After a few years of work on the supporting roles, he finally got the role that was meant for him- he performed the role of the beast in the movie “Frankenstein’s Curse” which was the first of twenty one films which were filmed by him on the Hammer studio. Opposite to the general opinion “Frankenstein” was not the first movie in which he performed with Peter Cashing. They met each other on the filming set of the movie filmed by Lawrence Olivier, which was called “Hamlet” where Cashing performed Ostrich’s role, and where Lee was carrying the torch in one of the episode scenes of the movie. In 1968 Christopher appeared in front of everyone in the image of “Conte” in the movie “Dracula’s Curse” where he performed with Peter again, and where Peter played the role of Van Helsing. A year later after Dracula’s role, he added one more significant role into his list, as he performed the role of Sherlock Holmes in the movie “Baskervilles dog”. And ten years later after it was released on the screens, Christopher Lee became the only actor who performed both of the characters Sherlock’s and his elder brother’s Mycroft.
