WHILE

applauding the bravery of actress ashley Judd for being one of the first to out Harvey Weinstein, I rather doubt her claim that he blocked her from getting a leading role in the first the Lord Of the Rings movie.

there are only two heroines in it, arwen (Liv tyler) and Galadriel, (Cate Blanchett) neither of whom the sweet but uninspiring Ms Judd could have bettered. Or did Weinstein stop her playing a female orc?
