THE 'OTHER' HELEN : MARY HELEN : PETER CUSHING, THE GHOUL AND TALES FROM THE CRYPT
THE 'OTHER' HELEN. Requested Post for George:
This is a screen capture of Arthur Grimsdyke's wife, Mary Helen in Peter
Cushing's 'Poetic Justice' story in Amicus Films, 'Tales From The
Crypt', often confused with the photograph Peter used of his actual late
wife, Helen in Tyburn Films 'The Ghoul'. The Helen featured in this
photograph was taken from a stock photo library...

NOW ON THE BIG SCREEN: THE UNOFFICIAL UNAUTHORISED GUIDE TO DOCTOR WHO AT THE MOVIES
This
looks interesting.... Thanks to Nicole Ryan for the heads up. "This one
totally slipped past me...Apparently, it details the "development hell"
that afflicted the two Cushing Dr Who movies, as well as singer Michael
Jackson (and comedian Bill Cosby) being seriously considered for the
Doctor in the '80s. Weird."
