London – Terence Stamp, the British actor who has often played the role of a complex villain, including that of General Zod in the first superman films, died. He was 87 years old.
His death Sunday was on Sunday in a death notice published online.
The stamp born in London began his cinematographic career with Seafaring of 1962 “Billy Budd”, for which he obtained an Oscar appointment.
The six decades of Stamp in the company were dotted with protruding facts, including its touching representation of the Bernadette Transsexual in “The Adventure of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert” in 1994. Stamp was also largely congratulated for its advance in the 1999 criminal drama of director Steven Soderbergh “The Limey”.
But it will be his representation of the bearded zod in “Superman” of 1978 and his suite “Superman II” two years later that most people combine with Stamp. As an enemy of the Kryptonian arc of the steel man of Christopher Reeve, Stamp presented a darker and more charming – more human to franchise, which has been reproduced in countless superhero films since.
Stamp began his film career in the early 1960s as part of the “Angry Young Men” movement which introduced an element of social realism in the creation of British films.
It was perhaps the most notable in the 1965 adaptation of the first frightening novel by John Fowles “The Collector”, where he played the Miranda Gray clumsy and lonely, who kidnapped Miranda Gray from Samantha Eggar in a distorted attempt to win his love. It was a performance that would win the young stamp, fresh out of his Oscar appointment, the prize for best actor at the 1965 Cannes Film Festival.
While this British movement of the 1960s is part of this British movement, Stamp learned from some of the most experienced actors in the classical era, including Laurence Olivier.
“I briefly worked with Olivier on my second film (1962” Terical of Trial), “said Stamp in an interview with the AP in 2013”. And he said to me, “You should always study your voice”. “The stamp then made the location of Olivier, but your voice will become incapable.” “
Born in the East End of London on July 22, 1938, Stamp lived a colorful life, especially in the 1960s, when he had a series of novels, notably with actress Julie Christie and the model Jean Shrimpton. He married Elizabeth O’Rourke, 29, in 2002 at the age of 64, but the couple divorced six years later. The stamp had no children.
Stamp has retained its appearance while the years passed, its natural beauty hardened by a more graying look.
He usually sought to maintain his high standards, but up to a point.
“I don’t make shitty movies, unless I don’t have the rent,” he said.
