a quote from there
"Remembering Sir Christopher Lee - On meeting Professor Tolkien (Taken from our May 12th 2001 interview at Cannes):

Very little. I was up in Oxford meeting some friends, and we were in the Randolph Hotel. And someone said, "What are you doing here, this is all rather correct and proper. Lets go to a pub." This was a way long time ago. Forty-five plus years ago. And we went to this pub, it's now world famous, but I can't remember the name of it. I can't honestly remember. We were sitting there talking and drinking beer or something, and someone said, "Oh, look who walked in," it was Professor Tolkien and I nearly fell off my chair. I didn't even know he was alive. He was a benign looking man, smoking a pipe, walking in... an English countryman with earth under his feet. And he was a genius, a man of incredible intellectual knowledge. And he knew somebody in our group. He (the man in the group) said, "Oh Professor, Professor," and he came over. And each one of us, well I knelt of course, each one of us said, "How do you do?" And I just said "Ho... How... How..." I just couldn't belive it. But I'll never forget it."

First thing i saw when i woke up this morning. talk about a bad way to start the day.  :(

Not only was he a phenomenal actor (who met Professor Tolkien), he was a SAS agent during WWII, related to the renowned Frankish emperor Charlemagne ("and we can prove it", he said) and a metal god (crowned by none other than Tony Iommi himself)

Namarie, Curumo
