User talk:Catherine Cushing

Welcome

Hi Catherine Cushing! I'm just dropping by to welcome you to UDWiki on behalf of Project Welcome! If you have any questions or need any help, you can reach me anytime at my talk page. Have a great day! Bob Moncrief ^EBD•W! 17:13, 18 February 2019 (UTC)

Hi again! Thanks so much for the kind words!

The easiest character template I know of is Template:Character (instructions on that page). The "buttons" you're referring to are called Userboxes; there's no central hub for creating them, but you can navigate to one (example), copy its code to your userspace and adjust it. If there's a different element or layout that you like from anyone's userpage, I highly encourage you to copy-paste the code, and mess with it to your liking. Your userpage is intended as a sandbox of sorts, so feel free to play around.

I hope that's helpful! Bob Moncrief ^EBD•W! 12:18, 19 February 2019 (UTC)

Peter Cushing

Just wandering if he has been the inspiration for your handle? -- Spiderzed▋ 22:39, 6 March 2019 (UTC)

Oh, yeah! He was probably my favorite old horror movie star, maybe tied up with Boris Karloff. Peter Cushing was a terrific character actor as well as a d#mned fine human being. (What's not to love, right?)--Catherine Cushing (talk) 02:00, 7 March 2019 (UTC)

He was a real treasure. Christopher Lee noted in his biography that he looked after everyone on the set, down to the lowliest stagehand - or even a fledgling young nobody actor like Christopher Lee.

From the first time we met on the set of The Curse of Frankenstein at Bray [Studios], Peter Cushing and I [Christopher Lee] were friends. Our very first encounter began with me barging into his dressing room and announcing in petulant tones: "I haven't got any lines!" He looked up, his mouth twitched, and he said drily:

"You're lucky. I've read the script."

Thanks for sharing that terrific anecdote. I'll have to read Christopher Lee's autobiography. Catherine Cushing (talk) 09:17, 8 March 2019 (UTC)
