#CHRISTOPHERLEE! it's not often Lee ever made any reference to how he played his many #Dracula death scenes for #Hammerfilms, but here in this short TV interview he does! #PeterCushing's Van Helsing, killed off Lee's Dracula THREE times! His slaying in the 1958 Dracula / Horror of Dracula is probably the best for many. You can watch the interview over at the Facebook PCASUK Fan Page
TODAY over at the PCASUK Facebook Page, we are asking everyone to join us in wishing actress #CAROLINEMUNRO
a VERY Happy Birthday today! And right now, almost 600 friends and followers, have done just that! A wonderful actress and an absolute
sweetie! Her Peter Cushing connection is of course her appearance in #Hammerfilms 'Dracula AD 1972' in which #PeterCushing played #VanHelsing
and her co starring role in Amicus film 'At The Earth's Core' with
Peter Cushing and Doug McClure. I know of no one who works harder on the
convention circuit to make meeting her a special event! Many Happy
Returns and Have Smashing Day, Caroline!
BANNERS I made and shared here and at the Fan Page for a pretty neat interview with #CAROLINEMUNRO we share a few months ago, in partnership with our good friends at THE FLASH-BACK FILES!
ABOVE: HERE IS A clip I shot way back in 2010, when I first met Caroline Munro and a few other #HAMMERFILM actresses! Everyone was posing with a wax figure of Christopher Lee as Dracula in a photo op, so I too some shots for The Black Box Club website!
OVER
THE YEARS, it's thought that Peter Cushing was maybe offered and / or
approached to play the role of the BBC TV Time Lord Dr Who, quite a few
times during his career. Each time, he probably considered it and
decided the tv role, wasn't for him. Which was a pity really... or was
it? Over at the Facebook Fan Page, we've asked do you think Cushing should have seized the opportunity or not...and
if he had, do you think he would have made a great Doctor Who with
maybe a different interpretation to his playing of the role in the two
theatrically released feature films in 1965 and 66? . . .
AND FINALLY,#PeterCushingArtwork we are so lucky to have so many very talented and skilled artists
who take their time and skills to paint and create so many beautiful and
often quite stunning portraits of Peter Cushing. Here is another I
think you will agree, captures so much about Peter in this pose and the
artist's interpretation of a quite famous photograph that appeared in
the press back in the mid-1970's. How do you rate this artwork, please feel free to visit our Facebook Fan Page, where you find this post along with a MASS of other friends and followers thoughts on this too...
another stunner?
