Terence Stamp, who perhaps most famously starred as General Zod in “Superman” and “Superman II,” died Sunday morning. He was 87.
Stamp’s death was confirmed by his family. “He leaves behind an extraordinary body of work, both as an actor and as a writer that will continue to touch and inspire people for years to come,” the family said in a statement. “We ask for privacy at this sad time.”
Stamp was initially interested in pursuing a career in advertising, but landed a scholarship for a drama school instead. He made his cinematic debut in 1962’s “Billy Budd.”
The decade was an especially iconic span of time for Stamp, who was one-half of a golden couple alongside Julie Christie and also starred in “Far From The Madding Crowd” and “The Collector.
