RARE SNAP : WHO IS PULLING THE TROLLEY! JENNI LINDEN ROBERTA TOVEY : PLUS REMEMBERED BIRTHDAY OF A WELL KNOWN FACE TODAY


A FABULOUSLY colour tinted and shared behind the scenes publicity photograph, by Clayton Hickman of #PeterCushing and cast, during the making of ‘Dr Who And The Daleks’ Spring 1965
 


HERE'S A FACE... if you are a #PeterCushing, #ChristopherLee, Hammer film or indeed James Bond fan... you will certainly recognise... but his name?? Dudley Frederick Peter Butler-Madden, was born in Malaysia back in 1904. Became an actor and chopped the name to Peter Madden and went on to appear in many, many films and tv shows produced in the UK. '#Frankenstein Created Woman' in 1967, 'Frankenstein and the Monster from Hell' in 1973 both with Peter Cushing for Hammer films. 
 
 
PETER MADDEN'S Amicus film with Peter also in the cast was 'Dr Terror's House of Horrors in 1965. He held a bigger role for Hammer in 'Kiss of the Vampire' as the innkeeper Bruno in 1963. Madden also appeared in the UK cult television series 'The Prisoner' (1967) uncredited, he plays the sinister undertaker in the opening sequence! On television he was seen in 'Danger Man', 'Z-Cars', 'The Avengers', 'The Saint' and 'The Champions', 'Out of the Unknown', 'Steptoe and Son' in the episode 'Live Now P.A.Y.E. Later' and also played Inspector Lestrade opposite Douglas Wilmer’s 'Sherlock Holmes' in the 1965 BBC series. 
 



MADDEN even stepped into a role in 'From Russia With Love' the James Bond entry of 63 as Mac Adams. There is hardly a UK tv series of the 60's or 70's he did not appear in. A very busy and popular actor.. we always spot him.. even of we don;t recall his name. You are remembered on your birthday Peter! Happy Birthday to you!

JOIN #CAROLINEMUNRO IN 'THE CELLAR CLUB' AND MARKING SUE LLOYD'S BIRTHDAY


SOMETHING is stirring in September as #CarolineMunro invites you to join her in THE CELLAR CLUB - presenting a series of horror films, sci-fi adventures and a little late night adult entertainment in this exclusive series to #TalkingPicturesTV. Starting Friday 3 September at 9pm - Put it in your diary and don't be late!
 
 

TODAY on the day of her birth, we mark the birthday of British actress and model, #SueLloyd. Lloyd starred along with #PeterCushing in the 60's cult murky masterpiece, '#Corruption' which incidentally gets its UK blu ray premiere this month, from #Indicator
 

Susan Margery Jeaffreson Lloyd (7 August 1939 Р20 October 2011) was an English model and actress, with numerous film and television credits. She may be best known for her long-running role (1979 to 1985) as Barbara Hunter, n̩e Brady, in the British soap opera #Crossroads and Cordelia Winfield in the #ITC series #TheBaron.
She made her film debut in two espionage-themed films released in 1965. Lloyd was a foil to #MichaelCaine's #HarryPalmer in the spy thriller #TheIpcressFile. In the same year, Lloyd played the regular role of secret agent Cordelia Winfield, alongside Steve Forrest in the 1965–1966 British ITC television series The Baron. 
 


HAVING APPEARED in the TV series (episode "A Surfeit of H2O"), in 1971, Lloyd starred in a stage version of the TV series #TheAvengers playing John Steed's sidekick Mrs Hannah Wild. She appeared with several other stars in the 1976 imitation James Bond film No. 1 of the Secret Service.She made many guest appearances in several popular shows of the 1960s and 1970s, including #TheSaint, #DepartmentS, #JasonKing, Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased), #ThePersuaders! and #TheSweeney. 
 

HER OTHER FILM credits include 'Corruption', 'Revenge of the Pink Panther' 'The Stud' and 'The Bitch'. On her Twitter page, Joan Collins said that she and Lloyd had to get drunk before their nude scenes. She reunited with Michael Caine in Bullet to Beijing (1995), one of the later Harry Palmer films, credited as 'Jean', although she did not appear on-screen, her role being confined to a voice-over in a telephone conversation with Caine's character.
 

LLOYD JOINED the long-running British soap opera Crossroads in 1979. She played Barbara Hunter until she and her on- and off-screen partner Ronald Allen were dropped from the series in 1985. Sue Lloyd died on 20 October 2011, aged 72. Today, we remember her and her career.. and that quite unforgettable performance with Cushing, in 'Corruption' . ..
