I wouldn't be surprised if Lee suggest Peter for the role, as all his close friends in the industry community, were often helping him, trying to keep his busy, since 1971 and the passing of his wife, Helen. Cushing, playing Ben is a lovely idea and interesting nugget of info, but as years passed both PC and Lee, did muddle things, as to be expected. If PC was approached to play Ben...he not wanting to leave the UK, remember he did all of Tarkin in just a few days and all at Elstree in the UK.. I can see why he would have turned it down. It was a huge role and after Star Wars, he made some odd choices, most I think based on location and work load. There were lots of supporting roles and a whole elderly Sherlock in 1984, supporting in House of the Long Shadows, with Lee and Price in 1983 and a large supporting role in Biggles in 1986, and a few tv eps like Tales of the Unexpected and House of Hammer.. all in the UK. I think venturing out for 'Shock Waves' to Florida in 77 after Star Wars and 'Hitlers Son' in Europe in 79, along with others, wore him out! In the big picture, I think we got the best deal. He always said, he chose roles, he thought the public would enjoy him playing. That almost always worked, it certainly did as far as Tarkin was concerned... and still does, via Rogue One! How strange was that? CGI work on past players, is a news story that plays out in newspapers, mags and the media every few days, and Cushing is always mentioned. Now, that is good PR for sure! - MarcusAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2521616243630174755.post-63227509912046591652023-06-10T20:30:13.757+01:002023-06-10T20:30:13.757+01:00Did you ever get an answer to this?

If that's true then it makes the idea that Lee suggested Cushing for the part he was turning down as a bit far fetched as Cushing would have already been on Lucasโs radar.Miguel Cruzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10187618355220100633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2521616243630174755.post-44076556433407787982023-05-27T20:02:35.784+01:002023-05-27T20:02:35.784+01:00I remember hearing about the life sized doll &...I remember hearing about the life sized doll & had wondered if weโd ever see it.

I have a huge appreciate of Sellers and his work and read much about the 'trouble' while making 'Ghost in the Goon Day Sun' the director has appeared and given some background f making the film and Peter in a few Sellers docs too.

Thank you for taking the time and tro...Hello there!<br />Thank you for taking the time and trouble to write and give us a much better understanding of your Grandmother's passing. The 'short illness' was actually sourced from a press release, and I never probe, as that 'short illness' statement usually covers for families and friends who want and actually at such a time, want little privacy. Like many here, that Valerie was a victim of Parkinson disease is a very sad fact that we had no knowledge of. So thank you for sharing that. I manage the Peter Cushing Appreciation Society, it was launched back in 1957 by Gladys Fletcher and I took over in 1978. It's a hobby, that has expanded even more since Peter's passing in 1994 and then with the arrival of the internet! I am so glad you appreciate our post on your Gran. She was such a great actress, in such a short time but made a very lasting impression and is held with great affection and admiration here and the many fans of fantasy genre films. I try to keep the memory and the flame burning for not only people who were such outstanding in their work, but also those who supported Peter Cushing in his roles, and without whom Peter would not have enjoyed the success that he had or indeed would the films have become such a success an still loved and remembered today.... your Grandmother, is one of those fine artist. We celebrate the fact, that for those who love the 'horror film / adult fairy story' she was the FIRST full colour, seductive and terrifying Scream Queen. A title held with much pride by other actresses like Barbara Shelley, Ingrid Pitt and many others, but your Gran was the first. I would love to learn more about Valerie, as so little is known. I wrote a short tribute feature to Valerie, here at the site, which you may have seen? I have posted the link below. Info was scarce, but I managed to find some clips from her appearances in some BBC dramas and plays. It was still fun to try and research. I have an email address, which I would very much love you to use to maybe contact me, if have the time? It is the theblackboxclub@gmail.com ... Again, thank you for reaching out and getting in touch. Take care, stay safe and here's to a Happy New Year! - Marcus (Marcus Brooks, PCASuk Manager and Editor) https://petercushingblog.blogspot.com/2018/02/friday-femme-fatles-hammer-film-actress.htmlpetercushingblog.blogspot.com/https://www.blogger.com/profile/10140650464400642146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2521616243630174755.post-82752551460780746132021-12-23T23:05:15.481+00:002021-12-23T23:05:15.481+00:00Valerie is/was my Grandmother....it wasnt really a...Valerie is/was my Grandmother....it wasnt really a "short illness"..<br />i'm 35 now and she died when i was 33.<br />She had Parkinsons....longer than i can remember. and fought it off bloody well for enough years to see me go from a baby to a full grown man.<br />but unfortunately in the later years, the Parkinsons and other issues seem to have got the better of her....but she went down fighting, and is one of the main role models ive had in life.<br /><br />its nice to every now and then find stuff like this. she never shared the film life she had, so its always been kind of fun funding blogs/ articles about her.<br /><br />if you ever want or are interested, i have alot more unseen photos and screen shots of her from the Hammer Horror days.<br /><br />sorry for the rant.....but thankyou for posting this...its humbling and im sure she would appreciate it too!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16438449178229167050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2521616243630174755.post-13985528141091278092021-12-16T20:02:16.221+00:002021-12-16T20:02:16.221+00:00Well, even now at 60, I remember little of last we...Well, even now at 60, I remember little of last week, but 30 0r 40 years ago, I remember in fine detail.
