In 1982, Peter was diagnosed with Terminal Cancer and was initially given a prognosis of six Months. He lived for another 12 Years and never lost his wit and charm. He never got over loosing his wife in 1971 but you would never guess it from how he always conducted himself both in public and private. Peter Cushing truly is a hero we could all look up to for inspiration. His work is timeless and his outlook on life is inspirational. He lived a full life, he defied the odds, he achieved hs dream, there has never been a bad word spoken about him by anyone, his films rock and he never changed 💕

Peter Cushing was one of those actors who wasn't just liked. He was truly loved! That doesn't apply to a lot of them. Christopher Lee paid him the ultimate compliment, by saying the only reason Peter Cushing died was because he was too good for the world. That statement speaks volumes! Peter Cushing genuinely appreciated his fans. A class act.

Second that! Nicholas is massively underrated. I heard he was considered for the 12th Doctor, and although I loved Peter Capaldi in the role, I would have loved to see Nicholas playing a main character. He narrated a few audiobooks though, if you'd like to hear more of his honey voice. Waiting for Anya is a beautiful story and he reads it superbly.

The idea of Peter Cushing being anywhere near 180-190 lbs at any point in his life is kind of mind-boggling. He was already so gosh-darned thin in his Hollywood bit parts in the late thirties and early forties and in that mid-fifties tv version of 1984 which is his earliest surviving lead role. He can't have weighed more than 160 or thereabouts when he got into horror films.
