I'm new on this site and a big Hammer Films fan - so it's nice to see a thread for Peter Cushing.
He is one of my all time favourites and a fantastic actor. The effort he gave was always 100% - which is incredible when you think of the low budget films he was in (a lot of modern so-called US stars don't make an effort if their film is being made for anything less than 50 million dollars!)
But as well as being a great actor, he was such a nice person in real life - and rightly known as the gentleman of horror. When the old Hammer actors/actresses talk about Peter Cushing, it is always with such genuine affection and love. He was always a loving uncle to the actresses and a friend to everyone else. There was certainly no ego.
He is a great man, who should have been knighted in his lifetime.
