The Christopher Lee Blogathon Is Here – Day 1 Recap

 

The Christopher Lee Blogathon

After months of planning, the big day has finally arrived. Yours Truly and my co-host with the most, Gill Jacob of Realweegiemidget Reviews, proudly present Day 1 of the Christopher Lee Blogathon! It’s an honor to dedicate this three-day event to one of my all-time favorite actors, who was the embodiment of wit, charm and continental sophistication. There are not enough superlatives in the English language to adequately describe the formidable talent and prodigious exploits of a man who lived a life that would have made James Bond envious. We’re kicking off this blogathon with an impressive batch of posts that would undoubtedly bring a smile to Sir Lee’s typically resolute face.

The Mummy

If you plan to participate but you’re not quite ready, don’t fret, we’ll post your link on Day Two. And of course, it’s never too late to join.
