Sir Christopher Lee interviewed during his first day on the set of new Hammer Film “The Resident.” (directed by Antti Jokinen).

The film is set for release this year and marks Lee’s first acting role for Hammer in 33 years.

As you’ve guessed, he’s one of my favourites! Wonder if his Dracula cape is still on show at the ‘Dracula Experience’ in Whitby?

Christopher Lee has clocked up more film credits than any other living actor in a 62-year career, several of which were made in Borehamwood.

I wish I’d had the opportunity to meet the man himself at the recent Elstree Film Evening.

Here’s an interesting snippit about the VERY heavy cape that Christopher Lee wore in his Hammer Films role of Dracula.

Yours truly has seen the said cape at The Dracula Experience in Whitby – not terribly interesting, I have to say, but it does look big and heavy!
