Mouring one of the greatest British Icons, made big by Italian cinema and American popcorn (und more). Terence Stamp was 87. He was Toby Dammitt in Fellini's sketch of Poe's omnibus Histoires Extrraordinaires/ Spirits of the Dead. He was in Pasolini's Teorema, as he was general Zod ;).
He won best actor in Cannes in 1965 for The Collector.
From his film debut in Billy Budd (1962, where he received his onbly Oscar nomination) to his last bit in Last Night in Soho (2021) he was a cool, silent, sometimes very menacing presence.
For me it was at most fun as the perverted host of the short-lived series The Hunger (1997-98).
Other highlights: Modesty Blaise, The Hit, The Limey (featuring Poor Cow).
1st ime I saw him as a kid as the badguy Wazir in the Clive Donner's Thief of Baghdad (1978, actually a made for TV film).
Stand-out, Australian The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert (1994), which can be seen streaming now on HBO Max.
Far from the Madding Crowd indeed...
