GRAND MOFF TARKIN: PETER CUSHING: STAR WARS AT THE HOLLYWOOD BOWL: 2011


STAR WARS AND PETER CUSHING AT THE HOLLYWOOD BOWL:
On June 3rd and 4th 2011 Anthony Daniels, the actor who has portrayed C-3PO in all six Star Wars films, provided live narration for Star Wars: In Concert, at the Hollywood Bowl.

Conducted by Dirk Brossé, the John Williams' score, was performed by a full symphony orchestra and choir, and accompanied by specially edited footage from the films displayed on a three-story-tall, high-definition LED super-screen. See Peter as Grand Moff Tarkin on the image here.

The concert had its world premiere in London in 2009 and this year toured globally. Impressive!

MORECAMBE AND WISE: PETER CUSHING 'WHAT ABOUT MY MONEY?'

 
WHAT ABOUT MY MONEY?: This is lovely and we'd thought you'd like it too. Eric Morecambe was one half of a much loved comedy duo called Morecambe and Wise. Eric, whose real name was Eric Bartholomew took his stage name from the town in which he was born.. Morecambe in Lancaster, UK. There are several pieces of public art around the town commemorating Morecambe's most famous son. This is one can be found near a statue of Eric on the sea front, it names all the famous actors and celebrities who appeared on their shows and some 'one liners' of dialogue, this one of course refers to Peter's never ending saga of trying to get his cheque for his appearance in 1970. The gag ran for several guest appearances over a ten year run!

HELEN AND PETER CUSHING AT TV AWARDS DORCHESTER HOTEL 1956 VIDEO CLIP


Film clips of Peter and his wife Helen are quite rare. But, we found one recently at the ITN resource library. It's Peter and Helen in 1956 arriving at the Dorchester Hotel in London for the 'Television Top Ten News Chronicle Awards' Peter won The Best Actor that year. It's short but worth seeing.
