The rumor mill is fit to burst with possible news regarding kiwi siren Angela Dotchin (Shortland Street, Jack of All Trades) being cast in LOTR.

While remaining female roles are few and far between concerning the trilogy, this rumor could pan out. TheOneRing.net has sent out a few feelers to try and snag down this rumor, stay tuned!

Thanks to Michael Martinez and his Xenite.org for the lead!

Greetings — Quickbeam here.

The Brain Bender contest is officially over and at last we have a winner. All entries were checked and re-checked for accuracy, then a random drawing yielded the name of one lucky Tolkienite. More than just lucky, mind you, she was remarkably diligent in her pursuit of minutia and has truly earned the grand prize. Click here to learn of our winner and discover at last the answers to this diabolical gauntlet of Trivia Terror.

Much too hasty,
Quickbeam
