Lars writes: The Danish newspaper ‘B.T.’ is running a theme on The Lord of The Rings, and qoutes Danish actress Iben Hjejle (eee — bin yie (like tie) — lee) as saying she was offered a part in the third movie as “warrior princess” – presumably she means Eowyn. Iben has played together with Ian Holm in the movie Napoleon. She declined the offer, though, as she did not fancy going to New Zealand for seven months. Maybe she will live to regret that!
