Back in 1999 I interviewed Christopher Lee in New York City. Having just gotten around to compiling all the interviews I've done in the last ten years or so I was editing this little gem when I found this reference, which I'm sure all Dario Argento fans are gonna' LOVE:
Christopher Lee: Dario Argento.... The man is insane! Q: Really, why would you think so? Lee: Well not too long ago I was at a film festival and he came over to me. I knew who he was of course, but he embraced me warmly, and spoke highly of my work. He said that he wanted to shoot some footage of me reminiscing about my Italian heritage. My family is originally from royal Italian stock, and he wanted to shoot this over a period of a few hours. So, we went off into the hills with him, and his crew, and the man became a madman. I never before have heard such language. He was shouting, and cursing at his crew the whole time, for even the simplest set-ups. It was only about three hours of work or so, but I made up my mind that if he ever approached me about appearing in one of his features that I would decline, and not be interested. |

On his mother's side, the Carandini family; the ones of Modena (from way, way back), I'm presuming; if so, these fellows are related to Lee:
