#WATCHWITHCUSHING! It takes a special friendship and almost psychic
understanding... in order to meet for what you know is probably the last
time, and to give exchanges and comments to each other, that because of
your bond, need only be given in your shared 'short hand', that has
been crafted and exchanged over many years, during tough times and good.
This is how we see a brief insight into the friendship, love and
respect both Peter Cushing and his close friend Christopher Lee had for
each other.
EVEN WITH THE CLOSE proximity of death, could be handled with
irony and gallows humour! Although, when asked by Peter, 'Will you fill
in for me, if I don't make it through this day?' even Lee could only
reply, 'Oh don't say that..' They behaved like this over a 30 year
career and friendship of even longer, even though, it was known in the
industry that even though Cushing and Lee had this closeness, their
wives Gitte Lee and Helen Cushing . . were not that close. What they
were was fiercely protective of their husbands, their careers, standing
and reputations.. plus Helen was born in Leningrad, USSR and Gitte in
Copenhagen, Denmark . . Strong wives, for husbands who loved to play 😊 - Marcus
