REMEMBERING: Actor Donald Pleasence who was
born today in 1919... Pleasence appeared alongside Peter Cushing in a
surprising amount of titles. From the quite early on brilliant BBC
production of '1984' to the not so brilliant 'The Devil's Men',
'Flesh and the Fiends', 'Trial By Combat' and 'From Beyond The Grave'
In a very lengthy career, with many highlights, Pleasence was always
entertaining, especially with nervous, evil obsessive characters.
Pleasence is probably best know for his role of Dr. Sam Loomis in the
'Halloween' films...a role interestingly enough that Peter Cushing was
originally approached to play....
