I would say you are referring to actor Christopher Lee and his famous cousin Ian Fleming. Lee volunteered to join the Winter War in Finland at 17 but was not allowed to go to the front... Feb 24 05, 8:50 PM

Indeed Peasy. And which other two distinguished actors of low budget horror movies had the same birthday as Lee and one a day before? Feb 24 05, 9:11 PM

Low budget horror could only mean Vincent Price......I'll never forget Blood Bath in the House of Death---- Must be at least C-grade. Feb 24 05, 9:19 PM

Yay, Stew! And of course, Peasy also gets hers... Feb 25 05, 9:46 AM

From what I can gather, Peasy always gets hers ... I took a gamble that you meant "famous horror actor" in the traditional sense, gmack, and not as some kind of film-buff purist, because May 26 was also John Wayne's birthday! Speaking for myself, I love the Duke's films, but there are contrary views. Feb 25 05, 10:56 AM

No need to put your little reminder in there gmack......I did remember! Was planning to jump out of a birthday cake for you.... Feb 25 05, 9:04 PM
