“A big mistake”: The iconic comedy role Christopher Lee turned down
Even Saruman has regrets.
Adding new strings to his bow.
And it never saw the inside of a cinema.
“One of the most important scenes in the whole trilogy.”
A rare distinction nobody else could claim.
A backstory and history more engaging than any fictional character he played.
He turned down the chance to star in one of the most popular horror movies.
This British icon made history with the most film credits in one year.
