Trivia
Grandfather of Jonny Lee Miller
He worked as a fruit porter to fund his drama studies.
He was notorious for enjoying a drink, but never let this affect his work. During filming of The Third Man, Lee went missing and the director sent crew to trawl the local bars to find him.
He was seriously ill during the filming of Live and Let Die (1973), causing the producers to consider replacing him with Kenneth More. However Lee recovered sufficiently to play the character M until Moonraker (1979), the last Bond film made before his death from stomach cancer in 1981.
Was preparing to reprise the role of 'M' in For Your Eyes Only (1981) at the time of his death. As a sign of respect, the script was changed to say that M was on leave, rather than recast the role with another actor (which did not occur until Octopussy in 1983), and scenes originally meant to include M were rewritten with other characters, such as Q for the confession booth meeting with James Bond (Roger Moore).
