Saturday night live

Lee hosted Saturday Night Live which aired march 25, 1978. I dont see this listed in his filmography 69.123.159.211 (talk) 05:29, 11 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Von Rosen family

I recently corrected a factual error about this relationship. Christopher Lee wasn't engaged to Agnes von Rosen (1924-2001), daughter ofGustaf-Fredrik von Rosen (1895-1956), but to Henriette von Rosen (1933-2016), daugther of Fritz von Rosen ( 1899-1969) https://archive.org/details/lordofmisruleaut0000leec/page/220/mode/ https://www.genealogics.org/getperson.php?personID=I00663301&tree=LEO- The page from the autobiography listed in the reference wasn't even right.--QTHCCAN (talk) 16:27, 17 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Name

"Christopher" sounds mighty priggish. Please tell me his friends and family called him "Chris" 2600:8800:218F:2D00:B8D7:91D0:7A5D:7D76 (talk) 05:49, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
