I AM SURE MOST of you will know TWO of these books, the one other maybe
not. The first published in 1986, 'Peter Cushing An Autobiography' was
reviewed at the time as ' Peter Cushing discusses his childhood, his
early acting career in films and on stage, his BBC television work and
his renowned years at Hammer, all with literary wit and charm. While
Mr. Cushing's humour will tickle readers' funny bones, the everlasting
love story between Mr. Cushing and his dear wife Helen will touch their
hearts' It is I am happy to say, all that and more . .
THE SECOND AUTOBIOGRAPHY , 'Past
Forgetting : The Hammer Years' published in 1988 picks up from the end
of the first, covers lots of anecdotal material from his TV and theatre
years, he does dip into 'Hammer Time' but many thought at the time...
not enough. It's a good read and links with Volume one perfectly
THE THIRD BOOK 'Peter Cushing' was edited and published by Donald Fearney in 1996. It's Mr Fearney...and a whole raft of actors, directors and friends paying
tribute to Cushing, with personal stories and impressions of working
with Peter. Every page carries one or more very nice photographs,
beautifully produced with large-format glossy pages. The tributes
include contributions from Ingrid Pitt, Christopher Lee, Joyce
Broughton, Francis Matthews, Charles Gray, Barbara Shelley, Freddie
Francis and many more.
