My Dear Helen

My Dear Helen

I came by the below information of the actor Peter Cushing.  We all know him as the 'Dracula hunter' and some of us have recognized him in the original 1977 Star Wars movie.

Great actor, he was.   

     Rip Mr Cushing

Here is the information I wanted to bring to everyone's attention.   

In 1971, Mr. Cushing withdrew from the filming of 'Blood from the Mummy's Tomb' following the death of his wife, actress Violet Helene Beck.  He was married to Violet Helene since 1943.  The following year, he was quoted in an interview as having said, "Since Helen passed on I cannot find anything; the heart, quite simply, has gone out of everything.  Time is interminable, the loneliness is almost unbearable and the only thing that keeps me going is the knowledge that my dear Helen and I will be reunited again some day.  To join Helen is my only ambition.  You have my permission to publish that ... really, you know, dear boy, it's all just killing time.  Please say that."

I hope everyone finds their one and only true love, as Mr Cushing, surely knew he had. 

Sincerely.

Significantly, Star Wars is an important achievement in USA Film History.
