_{Happy Birthday Peter Wilton Cushing (26 May 1913 - 11 August 1994} ∞₎

_{[on being asked whether horror movies tempted him to overact] You must take it frightfully seriously, I mean not terribly earnest, but I mean if you’re doing the impossible, and you laugh at it, then I think you’re being very rude to your audience. No I take that very seriously…}

_{….Peter was the great perfectionist who learned not only his own lines but everyone else’s, but withal had a gentle humour which made it quite impossible for anybody to be pompous in his company.’- Christopher Lee}
