Interesting Facts
| # | Fact |
|---|---|
| 1 | He was a great friend of the British actor Jon Pertwee, who was also known for many comedy parts. |
| 2 | Lived in Gstaad, Switzerland during the last six years of his life. |
| 3 | Sellers was widely considered by industry professionals (particularly Blake Edwards) to be mentally ill with no real personality of his own. He habitually assumed the personalities of the characters he portrayed, morphing into another one in a following role. People that knew him intermittently over years were baffled by his transformations. As an actor, Sellers could be brilliant with a strong script, but he often accepted sub-par projects and inferior roles which would wreck havoc in his personal life. |
| 4 | He worked with Peter O'Toole, Woody Allen, Ursula Andress and Burt Bacharach on both What's New Pussycat (1965) and Casino Royale (1967). |
| 5 | Author Jackie Collins based the character "Charlie Brick" on Sellers in her book "Sinners". |
| 6 | Married Britt Ekland after knowing her for only 10 days. |
| 7 | An English Heritage blue plaque can be found at his place of birth on the corner of Southsea Terrace and Castle Road in Southsea. What was the family home is above a Chinese restaurant. |
| 8 | He is the primary influence on Sacha Baron Cohen. |
| 9 | He was best known for his portrayal of the hapless, accident-prone Inspector Clouseau from the Pink Panther movies. A final film in the franchise was to be called "Romance of the Pink Panther", but Sellers died before it could be made. |
| 10 | In addition to dubbing Alfonso Bedoya in The Black Rose (1950), he also dubs the Chinese actor Ley On. He also provided the voice of an off-screen Winston Churchill in The Man Who Never Was (1956), and at least two other briefly-heard voices in that film. An oft-repeated rumor suggests that he also dubbed a few lines for Humphrey Bogart in Beat the Devil (1953), but this is harder to confirm. |
| 11 | Shirley MacLaine said of him, "Past lives leaking through and confusing him in this life.". |
| 12 | Claimed in a 1980 interview with Rolling Stone that he had fathered a son by a girlfriend while serving in the Royal Air Force during World War II, and abandoned them. |
| 13 | He was fitted with a pacemaker in 1977 for his failing heart. |
| 14 | His father was Protestant and his mother was Jewish. He attended St. Aloysius College, a Roman Catholic School. |
| 15 | Served in the Royal Air Force during World War II. |
| 16 | Was an amateur photographer and camera nut for most of his life. |
| 17 | Before his death he spoke very highly of Robin Williams and Steve Martin, both considered that a great honor. |
| 18 | Prince Charles had been a fan of Sellers since "The Goon Show". In 1975, after he had seen The Return of the Pink Panther (1975) in Montreal, he wrote to Sellers that he'd laughed so hard he had wet the dress of the woman in the next seat. |
| 19 | He was one of the favorite actors of Elvis Presley who always had Sellers' Pink Panther films with him on the airplane while he was on tour. |
| 20 | Became friends with the group The Beatles, and visited them at Abbey Road Studios. Was given a tape of rough mixes from the "White Album", which was auctioned (and bootlegged) after his death. |
| 21 | Together with Nicolas Cage (Adaptation. (2002)) and Lee Marvin (Cat Ballou (1965)), and José Ferrer (Moulin Rouge (1952) Sellers is the only actor with an Oscar nomination for playing multiple characters in a film (in (Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964), he plays three characters, Group Captain (G/C) Lionel Mandrake, President Merkin Muffley and Dr. Strangelove). Marvin is the only one who actually won one for a double role. |
| 22 | At the time of his death, he left the bulk of his estate - cash, cars, houses and art amounting to £4.5 million - to fourth wife Lynne Frederick. He left his son Michael and his daughter Sarah from his first marriage to actress Anne Howe only £800 each. "It was a calculated and considered act. Even his lawyers blushed when they told me," Michael said. Sellers had married Frederick, who was known primarily as David Frost's girlfriend (and subsequently his wife after Sellers' death), in 1977. Reportedly Sellers was in the process of excluding her from his will in the time immediately preceding his death by heart attack in 1980. A drug addict and an alcoholic herself, Frederick died at age 39 and all income from Sellers' estate, including royalties from movie profit-sharing deals, was inherited by her daughter with third husband Barry Unger. |
| 23 | At the time of his death, Sellers was set to play Inspector Clouseau again in "Romance of the Pink Panther". The script had been written by Sellers and Jim Moloney and the film was to be directed by Clive Donner. Pamela Stephenson was to have played the female lead. Also in the pipeline were the leads in Lovesick (1983) and Unfaithfully Yours (1984). Both these roles were taken over by Dudley Moore. |
| 24 | His performance as Chance the Gardener in Being There (1979) is ranked #49 on Premiere Magazine's 100 Greatest Movie Characters of All Time. |
| 25 | His performance as Inspector Jacques Clouseau in the "Pink Panther" franchise is ranked #67 on Premiere Magazine's 100 Greatest Movie Characters of All Time. |
| 26 | His performance as Dr. Strangelove in Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964) is ranked #75 on Premiere Magazine's 100 Greatest Movie Characters of All Time. |
| 27 | Died a few days after filming a "Barclays Bank" commercial, which was never aired. |
| 28 | Late one night, following a disappointing day wrestling with a troublesome scene in one of the Pink Panther films, director Blake Edwards was roused by a call from Sellers. "I just talked to God!" he exclaimed, "and he told me how to do it!" The next day Edwards humored Sellers - and the result was an unmitigated disaster. "Peter," Edwards suggested, "next time you talk to God, tell him to stay out of show business!". |
| 29 | One afternoon the doorbell rang in Sellers' London flat. As he was busy in his study, his wife Anne went to the door, where she was handed a telegram. The message: "Bring me a cup of coffee. Peter". |
| 30 | At the time of his death, he was due to undergo an angiography in preparation for potential heart surgery in Los Angeles on July 30. |
| 31 | Is portrayed by Geoffrey Rush in The Life and Death of Peter Sellers (2004). |
| 32 | Mel Brooks considered him for - and he expressed interest in - the role of "Leo Bloom" in The Producers (1967), but nothing ever came of it, and the role eventually went to Gene Wilder. However, Sellers was instrumental in the success of the film. After its release, he happened, almost by accident, to see a private screening of it and was so impressed that the next day he took out two full-page newspaper ads at his own expense proclaiming that it was one of the greatest comedies he had ever seen. This exposure helped promote the film at a critical time when it appeared that it was destined to sink without a trace. |
| 33 | Died at 12:26am - BST after being in a coma for more than 30 hours after suffering a massive heart attack. |
| 34 | He was voted the 41st Greatest Movie Star of all time by Premiere Magazine. |
| 35 | His "Goon Show" records, and other comedy recordings from the 1950s and early 1960s, were produced by George Martin, before he worked with The Beatles. |
| 36 | Turned down the role of George Webber in Blake Edwards' 10 (1979) (George Segal was cast instead but eventually replaced by Dudley Moore). Sellers made a cameo appearance but it wound up being cut out. |
| 37 | His third wife, Miranda Quarry, is now "The Countess of Stockton." |
| 38 | Father, with Anne Howe, of Michael Sellers and Sarah Sellers. |
| 39 | Was a vegetarian. |
| 40 | Sellers was the first male to appear on the cover of Playboy Magazine, in April 1964 |
| 41 | First actor to be nominated for a single Academy award (best actor) for a film in which he potrayed three different characters in the same film: Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964). |
| 42 | He was awarded the CBE (Commander of the Order of the British Empire) in the 1966 Queen's Birthday Honours List for his services to drama. |
| 43 | Claimed to have had a near-death experience during a heart attack in 1964, in which he saw Heaven and he met an angel who told him that it was not his time to die yet. |

Quotes
| # | Quote |
|---|---|
| 1 | Most actors want to play "Othello", but all I've really wanted to play is Chance the Gardener. I feel what the character, the story is all about is not merely the triumph of a simple man, an illiterate. It's God's message again that the meek shall inherit the earth. |
| 2 | [on developing a role for the screen] I walk around, trying different accents, feeling my way to the character. I stare at my own image in the mirror every morning, waiting for the other fellow - the man I'm going to play - to emerge and stare back at me. I am waiting for the stranger to come into my life. When it happens, I have this flush of happiness. |
| 3 | [April 1969, interview in "Nova" magazine] When I look at myself I see a person who strangely lacks what I consider the ingredients for a personality. |
| 4 | [on Sophia Loren] I was never in love with any woman as deeply as I was with Sophia. |
| 5 | [on Goldie Hawn] In the fullest possible meaning of the word, she is so nice. |
| 6 | You only know what happiness is once you're married. But then it's too late. |
| 7 | I'm a very ambitious person. I don't believe by any means that I've even begun to do what's inside me. I have a burning sort of fire inside me to do certain things which I know I'm going to do. I'm going to defeat all these berks that are around me and I'm going to do it. I mean, I have a name of being very difficult, I'm not difficult at all, I just cannot take mediocrity, I just cannot take it on any level. |
| 8 | [on Blake Edwards' smash hit 10 (1979)] I turned down the lead role many, many times. I just didn't feel I was right for the part. |
| 9 | I writhe when I see myself on the screen. I'm such a dreadfully clumsy hulking image. I say to myself, "Why doesn't he get off? Why doesn't he get off?" I mean, I look like such an idiot. Some fat awkward thing dredged up from some third-rate drama company. I must stop thinking about it, otherwise I shan't be able to go on working. |
| 10 | Women are more difficult to handle than men. It's their minds. |
| 11 | I'm a classic example of all humorists - only funny when I'm working. |
| 12 | To see me as a person on screen would be one of the dullest experiences you could ever wish to experience. |
| 13 | There used to be a me behind the mask, but I had it surgically removed. |
| 14 | If you ask me to play myself, I will not know what to do. I do not know who or what I am. |
