Terence Stamp, the acclaimed English actor best known as General Zod in the original Superman films, has died at 87. His family confirmed he passed away Sunday morning, leaving behind a remarkable six-decade career in film and writing.
Stamp’s debut in Billy Budd (1962) earned him an Oscar nomination and a Golden Globe, launching a career highlighted by roles in The Collector, Far From the Madding Crowd, Valkyrie and The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. He gained fame as a charismatic villain and style icon of the 1960s, known for high-profile romances with Julie Christie and Jean Shrimpton.
Bafta praised his legacy, noting his two nominations, while co-star Sarah Douglas called him “beyond gorgeous and talented.” Remembered for both his artistry and striking presence, Stamp leaves a body of work that will inspire for generations.
