    Peter Cushing An Autobiography

    December 12, 2024
    An absolutely delightful book that traces Peter Cushing's career from the very beginning. He was impoverished and obliged to take work in an office, which he hated, before finding bit parts in repertory and eventually, after a meeting with Laurence Olivier, on to bigger and better things.

    The story is told compassionately and there is particular compassion in the tale of how he met and dearly loved his wife, Helen. He finishes the book at her death for as he writes, "However, since my life as I knew and loved it ended with the passing of my beloved wife Helen, I intend to take this narrative no farther than that fateful Thursday in 1971, January 14th." [And I completely understand his sentiments - because I could say the same about 25 June 2004.]

    If it is not too bizarre to call a book beautiful, this is a very beautiful book and it is with a sense of sorrow that one finishes it. I always understood him to be an extremely nice man

His acting career spanned over six decades and included appearances in more than 100 films, as well as many television, stage and radio roles. He achieved recognition for his leading performances in the Hammer Productions horror films from the 1950s to 1970s and as Grand Moff Tarkin in Star Wars (1977).

    Born in Kenley, Surrey, Cushing made his stage debut in 1935 and spent three years at a repertory theatre before moving to Hollywood to pursue a rulle career. After making his motion-picture debut in the film The Man in the Iron Mask (1939), Cushing began to find modest success in American films before returning to England at the outbreak of the Second World War. Despite performing in a string of roles, including one as Osric in Laurence Olivier's spelfilm adaptation of Hamlet (1948), Cushing struggled to find work during this period.
