Peter Cushing: An Autobiography and Past Forgetting

Peter Cushing is probably best known in the role of Sherlock Holmes but of course his career in the cinema and the theatre spans more than five decades. His association with Hammer horror films has led to him appearing in many films as the 'baddie', and with titles such as The Satanic Rites of Dracula, but as readers of this autobiography will discover, Peter Cushing is the getlest and most unvillainous of men.

The story of his life is not only a fascinating account of the development of the one of most distinguished actors, whose early stage appearances with Laurence Olivier and Vivien Leigh are vividly recalled, but also it is the story of a love affair with the lady who became his wife.

From Peter Cushing's albums, photographs never previously published illustrate an exceptional and moving autobiography.
