Sir Christopher Lee will live on

People talk about his heavy-metal albums, but did you know he also recited Tolkien poetry for the Tolkien Ensemble? I'm sure it was playing Saruman that got him the gig, but what a voice!

And he'll live on generationally, too. Did you know that Harriet Walter (best-known to me as Fanny Dashwood in Emma Thompson's Sense and Sensibility) is his niece?

He did! Which is why I'm asking rather anxiously whether I'm the last man alive who met both Tolkien and Gandalf...?
