In addition to being a fan of Robert Powell, I happen to also be a big fan of Terence Stamp, and have most of his better films too. There is just something about him that I have always liked -a presence that cannot be denied. Plus, he has an amazing voice, and well, let me gush -I really like him! But, I haven't seen much of him since he married his 25 yr. old girlfriend. hmmmmmmm. . . .

Any Terence Stamp fans out there?

I liked his work but it seems he never got that much work.?

I just read Michael Caine's bio and they were great mates when they started out.
(perhaps he's got enough money and doesn't have to work [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img] )

Aitch,

According to IMDb, he seems to have been in regular, if not prolific, demand over the last few years.

He plays a very good baddie these days, but I don't know much about his early stuff. Wasn't it Stamp and Christie (Julie not Tony) who were the hub of the Swinging 60s set?

Terry meets Julie
Waterloo Station
Every Friday night
But I am so lazy
Don't want to wander
I stay at home at night

Which is quite true of course because Ray Davies of The Kinks did stay in most of the time in his suburban London house writing , and effectively missed most of the Swinging 60s, which his music contributed greatly to!

Didn't he 'drop out' into self-imposed exile in India after model Jean Shrimpton dumped him and Hemmings beat him to the lead role in Blow Up? Don't think he did a great deal until returning in Superman in the late '70's.

He made a film here a couple of years ago with Gary Oldman and Robert Carlyle, Dead Fish, but it seems to be stuck on a shelf somewhere largely unseen.

I first saw her in the comedy film The Fast Lady, with James Robertson-Justice, Leslie "Heh-low" Philips and Stanley Baxter. Unfortunately the title referred to an old blower Bentley rather than Ms Christie. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img]

It probably has nothing to do with them, but when the song came out it was around the same time that Stamp, Christie, Hemmings, Peter Cook, David Frost, Michael Caine and other emerging stars of stage, screen, television and pop music of that era were enjoying the glitz and glamour of London's groovy Swinging Sixties scene which is probably why everyone assumed the connection!

Everyone told me as a child that it was about my uncle Terry who married his childhood sweetheart Julie that year, and they came from the same part of London as the Davies brothers! [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img]

Stamp has a line of health food products, and I'm sure that's how he is managing a living unless he made some very good investments early in his career. An email friend sent me a box of Stamp's chocolates made with carob. They were very good, and the packaging was even better! My favorite Stamp films are, not necessarily in this order

Limey (very, very good!)
Bliss
Adventures of Priscella , Queen of the Desert

Alamut Ambush
Cold War Killers
Deadley Recruits (these three were a series, very good too)
Death in the Vatican
Blue
Collector
Billy Budd

I haven't seen Modesty Blaise yet. . .

Didnt he become quite ill through a wheat allergy which prompted him to start his health food products? Last saw him on Graham Norton a couple of years ago (I think he is a bit of a gay icon).

Loved him in Superman 2 when he totally hams it up as General Zodd - rest of the film is rubbish!!
