Terence Stamp
FILMOGRAPHY (ONLY REVIEWED ENTRIES)
Terence Stamp combined his considerable cinematic presence with an offbeat unconventionality that made him a fashion star and a symbol of the Swinging Sixties. He made his debut in Herman Melville's Billy Budd (1962), for which he received his first and only Academy Award nomination. In the period that followed, he often appeared in films by auteuristic directors, including Ken Loach, William Wyler, John Schlesinger, Federico Fellini, and Pier Paolo Pasolini – gaining a distinct reputation that arguably worked both in his favour and to his detriment. When his much-publicised relationship with supermodel Jean Shrimpton ended in the early 1970s and he was no longer in high demand, he moved to India and spent time at a Hindu ashram. He made a triumphant return to big-budget cinema with his iconic performance as General Zod in Superman (1978) and Superman II (1980), and followed up with the smart crime flick The Hit in 1984. During the latter parts of the 1980s and throughout the 1990s, Stamp was more prolific than ever and enjoyed a fine career resurgence. He died aged 87 in August 2025.
