Whoops got Stamp and Hemmings confused, apologies, have spent all these years believing Stamp was in Blow Up. Still was a long time ago when I saw the film.
Both Terrence Stamp and David Hemmings were very good looking in a slightly androgynous way. They had a fashionable 1960s look. Easy to confuse the two.
Oh No! He was so beautiful, with those lovely eyes. I think the first thing I saw him in was The Collector. I loved him in Priscilla, he reminded me very much of one of my female friends.
I was sad to hear of the death of Terence, we shared an ancestor and surname. He looked like the males in my family and I suspected we were related. DS traced family tree and sure enough there was the proof. Last film I watched was Song for Marion.
I was always getting him confused with David Hemmings - they both came to fame in the same era, Stamp in "Far From The Madding Crowd" and Hemmings in "The Charge Of The Light Brigade".
I absolutely loved him. First saw him in Far From The Madding Crowd as the very handsome Sergeant Troy. I have watched this many times over the years and he was the most handsome man going.
RIP Terence.
I was reading about this this morning, it said that that film was a box office flop! I was really surprised, I loved the film. I also remember him well from the Butterfly Collector, such a beautiful man.
‘Terry meets Julie Waterloo Station Every Friday night
Obviously referring to the darlings of the silver screen at the time,
That song brings back such memories.
RIP Terence Stamp.
Oh was that referring to him? I didn’t know that
I didn't know that was referring to him either ! One of my favourite all-time songs as an "adopted" Londoner. Meaning now enriched. He was an elegant man and a good actor but as a heart-throb I couldn't see it. RIP
At the intermission in the cinema for Far from the madding crowd, my friend asked me what I wanted and I said, “A Terence Stamp on a stick, please”. He was just gorgeous.
