Richard Henry Sellers, CBE (September 8, 1925 – July 24, 1980), known as Peter Sellers, was a British comedian and actor best known as Chief Inspector Clouseau in The Pink Panther film series, for playing three different characters in Dr. Strangelove, as Clare Quilty in Lolita, and as the man-child and TV-addicted Chance the gardener in his penultimate film, Being There. Leading actress Bette Davis once remarked of him, "He isn't an actor—he's a chameleon." Sellers rose to fame on the BBC Radio comedy series The Goon Show. His ability to speak in different accents (e.g., French, Indian, American, German, as well as British regional accents), along with his talent to portray a range of characters to comic effect, contributed to his success as a radio personality and screen actor and earned him national and international nominations and awards. Many of his characters became ingrained in public perception of his work. Sellers' private life was characterized by turmoil and crises, and included emotional problems and substance abuse. Sellers was married four times, and had three children from the first two marriages. An enigmatic figure, he often claimed to have no identity outside the roles that he played, but he left his own portrait since, "he obsessively filmed his homes, his family, people he knew, anything that took his fancy right to the end of his life—intimate film that remained undiscovered until long after his death in 1980." The director Peter Hall has said: "Peter had the ability to identify completely with another person, and think his way physically, mentally and emotionally into their skin. Where does that come from? I have no idea. Is it a curse? Often. I think it's not enough though in this business to have talent. You have to have talent to handle the talent. And that I think Peter did not have."

There was a sequel to the 1958 film Attack of the 50 Foot Woman was written, but apparently it's lost to time. Unknown release date, actors, and the plot. This has nothing to do with the crossover sequel that I made, reused the same plot, nor the What If. It also remains unknown if the script was written. It was to be produced with a higher budget and in color. There is a poster of sorts where it, the poster, says Revenge of the 50 Foot Woman, remember the poster has nothing to do with the Lost Sequel. Because it's actually from an abandoned mid-80s remake that was going to star Sybil Danning in the lead role, then the poster during the same time was given the title for some reason. For this theoretical film it was rather difficult to figure what year, because Allison Hayes pretty much stopped being in movies, she was only in five movies from 1960-1965 while the other credits were TeleVision episodes from 1960-1967 where she stopped acting all together, then past away in 1977 of lead poisoning at the age of 46. As for Ken Terrell he stopped acting in 1962 and died in 1966. So, I did decide on the early 1960s. After being electrocuted killing herself and her cheating husband, however, the electrocution really did kill Harry Archer, but as for Nancy it put her into a coma and was taken to a Military base. Nancy wakes up for the first time in years. An old enemy of hers is after her to finish what he started years ago. Nancy will fight for what he wants. She'll die for it!
