The Importance of Being Titled



Christopher Lee has had many fictional titles through the years, but a very real one was added to that list today as Lee's name was on the Queen's birthday honors list announced today.

It’s a dazzlingly impressive achievement for anyone who has dwelled in the ghetto of horror as long as Lee has to be knighted, and we’re hard pressed to think of many more artists from that world to be so honored. I think that Lee will wear Knighthood with tremendous style (not like those long-haired Beatles.)

He's been a Prime Minister...



A King...



A Captain...



A Lord...


A Count...

A Doctor...



And a Professor...



...has anyone carried a title with more style?
