Paid Members DEF Posted June 11, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted June 11, 2015 Easily my favourite Dracula. Got to see it on the big screen once a few years ago after the restoration. Also saw The Wicker Man as well. Really love some of his films. 93 is a good innings though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Maverick Posted June 11, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted June 11, 2015 Loved him as Dracula, saw him in The Wicker Man on the big screen recently too. TMWTGG is one of my favorite Bond's, very underated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Tommy! Posted June 11, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted June 11, 2015 I'm gutted, he was an amazing actor and, from some interview's I've seen, a fascinating man all round. Â 93, Its a cracking age to go though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
