Only one person on the Lord of the Rings film set met J.R.R. Tolkien during their life, and now his own life is at it's end.
Christopher Lee, who played the corrupt wizard Saruman and once met the author of his iconic adaptive role, has died at 93 years of age.
In a 2010 interview with Cinefantastique, the talented British actor described meeting the Lord of the Rings author decades ago "quite by chance."
He said, ""I met him with a group of other people in a pub in Oxford he used to go to,"
He added, "I was very much in awe of him, as you can imagine, so I just said, 'How do you do?'"
Lee, a fan of the book series, called it the "greatest literary achievement in my lifetime."??
