Legendary martial arts master and film icon Bruce Lee died 36 years ago today (Monday July 20, 2009). Lee’s short life is overshadowed by a legacy that far exceeded his film star status. Though best known for his martial arts – especially his pioneering of the Jeet Kune Do fighting style — he was also a philosopher (after majoring in philosophy in university), writer, and director whose role in films was sometimes offscreen, as well.
