British actor Terence Stamp, one of the most prominent figures of British cinema in the 1960s and known worldwide for his role as General Zod in the films "Superman" and "Superman II", has died at the age of 87.
Stamp, an Oscar nominee, left behind a vast and diverse filmography that includes roles in Pier Paolo Pasolini's "Teorema" (1968), "A Season in Hell" (1971), as well as playing a transgender woman in the acclaimed film "The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert" (1994).
In a statement to Reuters, his family said: "He left behind an extraordinary legacy as an actor and writer, which will continue to inspire for years to come," The Guardian reports.
Born in London's East End in 1938, Stamp survived the bombings of World War II before entering the art world. With his distinctive looks and elegant style, he became part of one of the most famous couples of the time with actress Julie Christie, with whom he starred in the film "Far from the Madding Crowd" (1967). He also had a relationship with model Jean Shrimpton and was a muse for the famous photographer David Bailey.
Although he failed to land the role of James Bond after Sean Connery, Stamp found success in Italian cinema and collaborated with Federico Fellini in the late 1960s. He later retired from the stage to devote himself to yoga studies in India, before returning to the role that made him iconic, General Zod, the leader of the Kryptonians, in “Superman” (1978) and its sequel (1980).
His career continued for decades, including roles in films such as "Valkyrie" (2008) with Tom Cruise, "The Adjustment Bureau" (2011) with Matt Damon, as well as in several projects by director Tim Burton.
