Oscar-Nominated English actor Terence Stamp dies at 87
ALBAWABA - The English actor Terence Stamp has died at the age of 87. He played the bad guy General Zod in the Superman movies. Also Read Taylor Swift breaks record previously held by Donald Trump The actor who was considered for an Oscar was in over sixty movies, such as The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, Far From the Madding Crowd, and Valkyrie. In a message to Reuters, Stamp's family said that he died early Sunday morning. "He leaves behind an extraordinary body of work, both as an actor and a writer, that will continue to touch people for years to come," they noted. Terence Stamp, the English-born actor celebrated in the 1960s for 'Billy Budd,' 'The Collector' and 'Far From the Madding Crowd,' later known for playing General Zod in the 'Superman' films and starring in Steven Soderbergh's 'The Limey,' died Sunday. He was 87.… — Variety (@Variety) August 17, 2025 Stamp was born on July 22, 1938, in Stepney, east London, to working-class parents. He went to high school before becoming an advertising executive. He became famous in the 1960s after getting a scholarship to go to drama school. In the 1962 film about a young sailor in the eighteenth century, he played Billy Budd. He was nominated for an Oscar for best supporting actor and won a Golden Globe for best rookie for his role. He became famous as a bad guy, with roles like General Zod in Superman and Superman II, thief Freddie Clegg in The Collector, and Sergeant Troy in Far From the Madding Crowd. In the 1960s, Stamp was at the top of his game. He was praised for his good looks, fashion sense, and famous girlfriends, such as supermodel Jean Shrimpton and actress Julie Christie, whom he later appeared with in Far From the Madding Crowd. That he was dating Christie only lasted a year, but the Kinks made a song about them called Waterloo Sunset, and the line "Terry meets Julie" is thought to be a reference to them. Stamp was asked to take over for Sean Connery as James Bond when he quit, but he turned down the offer because of his extreme ideas about how he should play the part, according to director Harry Saltzman. "I believe my thoughts about the role intimidated Harry," he confided in me. "I didn't get a second call from him." He worked with directors Pier Paolo Pasolini and Federico Fellini while he was in Italy, but when he came back to London at the end of the 1960s, he found that his fame had faded. He later said on BBC Radio 4's Desert Island Discs, "When the 1960s ended, I think because I'd been so into it, I kind of ended as well." "I thought that everything would be fine if I were really pretty, successful, and well-known." I thought to myself, "It's been fun, but there hasn't been any real, deep internal satisfaction." After taking a break from acting for a while, he bought a ticket around the world and ended up in India, where he studied yoga and lived in a spiritual retreat. In 1976, he received his most renowned role as General Zod in Superman. British actor Terence Stamp (Photo by VALERY HACHE / AFP) After going back to movies, he was in many movies over the next few decades, such as Star Wars: Episode I—The Phantom Menace, A Song for Marion, The Adjustment Bureau, and Last Night in Soho. In the 1994 Australian movie The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, he played a transgender woman, which was one of his most famous and praised roles. The movie's director revealed last year that Stamp was interested in returning for a Priscilla sequel. Stamp, who was 85 years old at the time, was called the "fittest man I've ever met in my life" by Elliott. Stamp "has never drunk and basically eats grass." "He thought about it for a long time until he got there," he told The Guardian. "Then he told me, 'You know what? That's right. We're still not done. The story hasn't been told.'"

Joint resistance: Al-Qassam, Islamic Jihad, and Allies attack Israeli positions
ALBAWABA - The Hamas military wing, the Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades, published new video footage showing a string of assaults against Israeli forces in southern Gaza.

In the footage, fighters were shown employing explosive devices and Yasin 105 anti-tank rockets to hit Israeli tanks and armored vehicles. At the Abu Hamid roundabout in the heart of Khan Younis, two tanks were attacked, while two armored personnel carriers were damaged in other attacks. Additionally, "Rajoum" rockets and mortar fire were used against troop concentrations. One fighter quoted remarks made by the late Hamas military chief Mohammed Deif, who emphasized resoluteness and the conviction that resistance would persist in growing in spite of efforts to eradicate it. Actions of Joint Resistance Cooperation with other Palestinian factions was also emphasized in the video. Together, the Popular Resistance Committees' Al-Nasser Salah al-Din Brigades and Islamic Jihad's Al-Quds Brigades launched mortar and rocket attacks against Israeli targets. Hamas characterizes this collaboration as part of a coordinated combat effort by Palestinian factions to increase pressure on the Israeli army on several fronts. Additional strikes were reported by al-Qassam on Saturday, including another joint strike close to the Khan Younis courthouse complex and mortar fire on an Israeli command-and-control post along the Salah al-Din axis south of Rafah. Images of attacks on Israeli soldiers and vehicles east of Gaza City were also made public by the group.

Actor Terence Stamp, who starred in original Superman films, dies aged 87
Veteran British actor Terence Stamp, who starred in the original Superman films, has died aged 87. The Academy Award-nominated actor, who played Kryptonian villain General Zod in Superman and Superman II, died on Sunday. Stamp, who starred as a transgender woman in 1994's The Adventures Of Priscilla, Queen Of The Desert, won a Bafta for his performance. Born in the East End of London in 1938, Stamp rose to acting fame in the 1960s after he won a drama school scholarship. The Webber Douglas Academy of Dramatic Art scholarship led him to the stage, where he acted in repertory theatre and met Michael Caine, who was five years older than him. The pair lived together in a flat in Harley Street while they were both looking for their big break, but they parted ways and lost touch, Stamp previously told The Guardian. He made his film debut in Peter Ustinov's 1962 film adaptation of Herman Melville's Billy Budd and his portrayal of the title character brought an Oscar nomination. Known for his stylish clothes, Stamp famously dated actress Julie Christie, who he performed alongside in the 1967 film Far From The Madding Crowd and was also in a relationship with the model Jean Shrimpton. But, after missing out on the role of James Bond, he fell out of the limelight for a while. It was not until 1978 that he got his most famous role as General Zod and appeared in Superman's 1980 sequel as the same character. He began voice acting and writing books in the late '90s, but also continued acting in films, appearing alongside Tom Cruise in Valkyrie in 2008 and working on movies directed by Tim Burton. His film career spanning six decades ended with the 2021 psychological thriller Last Night In Soho. Stamp's death was confirmed in a death notice published online, the Associated Press said.
