CHRISTOPHER LEE

Christopher Lee as Saruman
IMDb Entry

Date of Birth: 27th May 1922

Trivia
A distant cousin and frequent golfing partner of Bond creator Ian Fleming, Lee was the author's personal pick for the role of Dr. No (1962) in the first 007 film. The part, of course, went to actor Joseph Wiseman, who was brilliant. However, fans of the literary Bond might want to check out Lee's portrayal of Chinese master criminal Fu Manchu, for an idea of how Fleming himself envisioned Dr. No.

Although Lee did not land the role of Dr. No as his cousin Ian Fleming envisioned, he DID get the title role in The Man with the Golden Gun.

Is it not odd that Vincent Price and Christopher Lee were born on the same day (27th May) and Peter Cushing was born on the 26th?
