BOOK DESCRIPTION: Peter Cushing was an unforgettable presence in the cult cinema of the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s, and he remains one of Britain's best-loved film stars. Cushing made a huge impact in the groundbreaking television adaptation of Nineteen Eighty-Four, and went on to find international fame as Baron Victor Frankenstein and Doctor Van Helsing in the most acclaimed films from the Hammer House Of Horror. During his lengthy career, his roles included Doctor Who, Sherlock Holmes, and Grand Moff Tarking, the villain of the original Star Wars. This is the definitive guide to the stage and screen career of this much-admired, very private actor. - Author David Miller has written the definitive guide to the stage and screen career of a legendary star, drawing upon conversations with Cushing's friends and colleagues, rare archive material held by the BBC and Hammer Film Productions, and previously unpublished interviews with Mr. Cushing himself. This in-depth research forms the basis for a revealing re-assessment of the career and achievements of this much admired and iconic British actor. Mr. Miller is also the editor of Shivers magazine and co-author of They Came From Outer Space.

The wealth and treasure trove of information and details on Peter Cushing's career was incredible as were the great pictures from his private life and horror films. A "must have" for every horror fan that loves Peter Cushing and appreciates his body of work. david g5.0 out of 5 stars Reviewed in the United States on July 15, 2017 - Great book about a great actor. Mrs. Peel5.0 out of 5 stars One of THE best books on Cushing!Reviewed in the United States on November 25, 2013 -I chose this item because I love Peter Cushing with all my heart and I heard a tremendous amount of wonderful praise about this book. It is indeed one of the best books I have read about Cushing, this and his autobiographies of course. Miller himself is a Cushing enthusiast and he does a marvelous job at showing it. The book talks about Cushing's early life and film career and Miller hits all the points and exceeds beyond with more detail and rare photos that are always a joy. I highly recommend this lovely piece, you will enjoy it always! :) Kimi5.0 out of 5 stars The Definitive Peter Cushing Stage/Screen CompanionReviewed in the United States on February 2, 2001 - When asked to name some actors that have left a lasting impression on the sci-fi/horror film genre, Peter Cushing is bound to show up on most lists and with the release of this book, fans can finally hold in their hands, the definitive guide to Peter Cushing's stage and screen works. Author David Miller has compiled a wonderful tribute to this fascinating star, from his humble beginnings in Hollywood to his international fame as Baron Frankenstein and Van Helsing for Hammer Studios to the two Dr. Who films and as the evil Grand Moff Tarkin in the first Star Wars film. It's all here...interviews, conversations with Cushing's family and friends as well as acting colleagues. Fans are also treated to a chronological listing of Mr. Cushing's work on stage, screen and TV. This is a book that easily belongs on any Cushing fan's book shelf. Paula Clifford5.0 out of 5 stars Definitive career bookReviewed in the United States on November 5, 2004 - THE best book to own for a complete guide to Peter Cushing's career. Most books only cover the films, this one contains extensive coverage of stage, television, and even a forgotten radio serial with Vincent Price in the 1970's - something Price books fail to mention! It would have been even better had some of his lesser known films gotten more than a paragraph or two. Also, a photo of Cushing as Holmes or van Helsing on the cover instead of one as Frankenstein with a scantily clad female would certainly have been in better taste. Still, it's excellent. - IMPORTANT MESSAGE!
