Actually, Gwaihir doesn't exist. He's just a commercial invention of the publisher, for who would read a book where an old man flies with his eyebrows (Tolkien's original plan), rather than is carried by a noble eagle?

Anyway, I went to see the film Goya's Ghosts yesterday. There was an old priest Father Gregorio, played by Michael Lonsdale, whose eyebrows would surely almost match Gandalf's. Unfortunately, I can't find a proper photo of him anywhere.

As I recall, his hat is described as 'shady'.

Whenever I read that (or read about it

), I always try to picture Gandalf's large eyebrows sticking out beyond the brim of his shady hat. I can never get it. LOL
