Christopher Lee, OBE. Much as I deprecate these meaningless baubles, he definitely deserves the recognition.

I see he's in both Lord of the Rings and the new Star Wars film. I always thought he was the Dracula as opposed to Bela Lugosi. But then I always thought Roger Moore was the James Bond and Sean Connery was very overrated.

Strictly speaking, Christopher Lee is CBE, not OBE.

Roger Moore was certainly the best James Bond. Especially when he wore flared safari suits.

Why didn't she make him a count?

We don't have Counts anymore Hildago, due to the confusion when people say things like: "my brother, the Count".
