Born in Kenley, Surrey, Cushing made his stage debut in 1935 and spent three years at a repertory theatre before moving to Hollywood to pursue a film career. After making his motion picture debut in the film The Man in the Iron Mask (1939), Cushing began to find modest success in American films before returning to England at the outbreak of the Second World War. Despite performing in a string of roles, including one as Osric in Laurence Olivier's film adaptation of Hamlet (1948), Cushing struggled to find work during this period. His career was revitalised once he started to work in live television plays and he soon became one of the most recognisable faces in British television. He earned particular acclaim for his lead performance as Winston Smith in a BBC adaptation of George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four (1954).The most expensive item with a signature of Peter Cushing (Peter Cushing Star Wars Authentic Signed 8x10 Black & White Photo BAS Slabbed) was sold in October 2022 for $7999.99 while the cheapest item (Hammer Horror Trading Cards: Peter Cushing Facsmile Autographed Promo Card SP2) found a new owner for $2.08 in August 2021.
