Anyone know who did the voice of Gollum in the animated movies?  It fit what I
thought his voice sounded like very well.

Isn't Galadriel supposed to be the most beautiful woman in Middle-Earth?  No

back, though, if you really want to see him.

Either marry 'em all at once, or marry them on your anniversary.  "Happy
