Sir Ian simply had an epiphany as he prepared to take on the great Shakespearean role for the first time -- that the aged king likely had had two wives, the first bearing him his eldest daughters, now so plotting and duplicitous, and the second giving him sweet Cordelia, the youngest. McKellen imagined a more detailed back story for that second marriage too, one that has the beloved second Queen Lear having died in childbirth, and now their girl is about the same age she was then, putting all these complex feelings in the recesses of the king's mind -- and Sir Ian's -- as they make their grand entrance and for 3 1/2 hours become one and the same tragic figure.](http://www.latimes.com/media/thumbnails/story/2007-10/33138117.jpg "THERE'S not a word in "King Lear\" about any \"Queen Lear,\" but Ian McKellen takes the stage nonetheless wearing two wedding rings, ones few in the audience will notice.
