This lavish volume collects both of Peter Cushing's 1980s books - An Autobiography and 'Past Forgetting' - with the 1955 memoir The Peter Cushing Story and extensive unseen material from his private collection. Cushing was widely known as 'the gentleman of horror', his kind and sensitive nature a sharp contrast with the sinister roles that dominated his work from the 1950s onwards. This is Cushing's own account of his remarkable career, and the devastating sense of loss he suffered following the death of his wife. It offers unparalleled insight to the meticulous professionalism and private torment of a legendary film star.
