On Sunday, June 7, 2015, the legendary actor who portrayed Count Dooku in Attack of the Clones, Revenge of the Sith, and The Clone Wars (film) passed away in the hospital following respiratory problems. Sir Christopher Lee acted for over 70 years after serving in the Royal Air Force during World War II, making his first film appearance in 1948. Other notable roles include Dracula (1958), The Man with the Golden Gun (1974), and as Saruman in the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Though he was never nominated for an Oscar, he received near-universal acclaim throughout his career, which in recent years included musical performances. Lee is survived by his wife and daughter.
