British actor Sir Christopher Lee has died at the age of 93, his wife of over 50 years announced, at a hospital where he had been receiving treatment for heart failure. Lee died on Sunday morning, but a public announcement was delayed so she could inform family. Lee first gained fame as Dracula in Dracula Has Risen From the Grave, and went on to star as Count Dooku in the Star Wars films and Saruman in The Lord of the Rings. He was knighted in 2009.
