Terence Stamp, who made his name as an actor in London of the 1960s and played the bad general Zod in Superman films, died at the age of 87, said his family on Sunday.
The actor, who was appointed for the Oscar, starred in films ranging from the “theorem” by Pier Paolo Pasolini in 1968 and “A season in Hell” in 1971, in “Priscilla, The Queen of the Desert”, in which she played a transgender woman.
The family declared in a statement to Reuters that the stamp died on Sunday morning.
“He leaves an extraordinary working corpus, both as an actor and as a writer, who will continue to play and inspire people in the coming years,” said the family. “We ask for privacy in this sad moment”.
Born in London in 1938, he endured the bombing of the city during the Second World War before leaving school at work initially with advertising and, finally, to win a scholarship to go to the theater school.
Famous for his beautiful appearance and the sense of impeccable clothing, he formed one of the most glamorous couples of the United Kingdom with Julie Christie, with whom he starred in “Far from this foolish world” in 1967. He also attended the Jean Shritton model.
After not obtaining the role of James Bond to happen to Sean Connery, he appeared in Italian films and worked with Federico Fellini in the 1960s.
He abandoned the spotlight and studied Yoga in India before obtaining his most important role – such as General Zod, the Kryptonian megalomaniac leader in “Superman – The Movie” in 1978 and in his sequence in 1980.
