The Telegraph reports that the actor passed away on Sunday at London’s Chelsea and Westminster Hospital. His family delayed the public announcement to inform close family members first.
Lee was being treated for respiratory problems and heart failure over the last few weeks before he succumbed to his illnesses.
The actor who first became famous as a Hammer Horror star went on to achieve global star status thanks to high profile roles as Scaramanga in “The Man With The Golden Gun”, Saruman in “The Lord of the Rings” and “The Hobbit”, and naturally as Count Dooku in “Star Wars: Attack of the Clones”.
Lee’s film career began in 1947, making his debut in Terrence Young’s ‘Corridor of Mirrors’ but it was his relationship with British horror stable Hammer that would establish his career for the coming decades.
