#THROWBACKTHURSDAY!
Peter Cushing OUT ON THE TOWN in 1987, along with his personal
secretary and friend, Joyce Broughton and Husband, Bernard. It's an
opening night of Andrew Lloyd Webber's 'Phantom of the Opera' in August
1987. Just a few years before, this would have been quite impossible for
Cushing, still in the grips, of what Joyce would later call his 'Blue
Period'. The loss of his wife, Helen Cushing never truly left Cushing's
mind, but during the last eight years of his life and after his
retirement , he did live life to fullest! Theatre, writing, charity
marathon walking, appearing on chat shows and even enjoying 'dips' in
the sea, just outside his front door in Whitstable once again!
