Mrs Gail J Gray.

I have been a dedicated devoted fan of Sir Christopher lee since 1958, he has inspired to write a book for him, I contacted his wife to ask her can I get it published but I have had not a reply. Over the years I have collected vast amounts of unsigned photos of him also over 200 DVD films I love all their films. I also like Peter Cushing, both I have given joy and wonderful entertainment. I love listening to Christopher when he reads stories by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Agatha Christie. There shall ever be pair like these two. legends of the silver screen. They ought to erect 2 bronze figures in London's I miss them a great deal Trafalgar square to show the world that they are the best pair in macabre films as the next generation will know that they are the finest actors in the cinema world. I miss them dearly as I still have not got over their deaths.
