The Peter Cushing Shrine
Peter Cushing – Actor, illustrator, author, designer, and much more
born May 26, 1913 - died August 11, 1994
Peter Cushing was simply one of the most important figures in science fiction filmdom. From his beginnings in the genre in the late 1950s until his declining years, Cushing, popular with both the fans and the critics, was the actor who best exemplified the English, gothic side of s.f., though his career extended far beyond the field.
This is a tribute, not a biography. Cushing's many works are organized into (I hope) logical and useful groups originating from this page, a gateway into the long career of horror's favorite gentleman.
But first things first. As this is a site primarily devoted to science
fiction movies, a short listing of the qualifying films is in order (if
some of the titles seem like unlikely candidates for s.f., read the complete
filmography where I give my rationale for the stranger ones):
