British Actor Terence Stamp, 1960s Icon and Superman Star, Passes Away at 87
Trigger Warning: This article contains references to an individual's death. Terence Stamp, the British actor who rose to fame in the 1960s and later became known worldwide for his role as General Zod in Superman, has died at the age of 87, his family confirmed on Sunday, August 17, according to Reuters. Stamp's career spanned more than six decades, with roles ranging from British classics to Hollywood blockbusters. He earned his first and only Academy Award nomination for best supporting actor in 1962 for his debut role in Billy Budd, directed by Peter Ustinov. Terence Stamp's early life and breakthrough Born on July 22, 1938, in London's East End, Stamp was the son of Ethel and Thomas, a merchant seaman. He grew up far from the glamour of Hollywood. In a 2013 interview with the British Film Institute, Stamp recalled his father's doubts about an acting career. 'He genuinely believed that people like us didn't do things like that,' Stamp said. His mother, however, 'loved every second of it.' Stamp quickly established himself as a key figure in British cinema during the 1960s. He appeared in John Schlesinger's Far From the Madding Crowd and Ken Loach's first feature film Poor Cow. A star of Swinging London Stamp became part of the cultural wave of Swinging London, often making headlines for his high-profile relationships with model Jean Shrimpton, actress Julie Christie, and Brigitte Bardot. He also shared a flat with fellow actor Michael Caine during their early careers. In a 2015 interview with The Guardian, Stamp reflected on their friendship, saying, 'We just went different ways. I can understand it: in many ways he was much more mature than me.' What made Terence Stamp a global star? After a break from acting, Stamp returned in 1978 with his defining role as General Zod in Superman, a part he reprised in the 1980 sequel. More than 20 years later, he lent his voice as Jor-El, Superman's father, in the TV series Smallville. Stamp's versatility showed in other roles too. He played Bernadette, a drag queen, in the 1994 comedy The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, and later appeared in Wall Street and The Adjustment Bureau. In interviews, Stamp often spoke about his long career with honesty. 'I've had bad experiences and things that didn't work out; my love for film sometimes diminishes but then it just resurrects itself,' he told The Guardian. He added, 'I've done crap, because sometimes I didn't have the rent. But when I've got the rent, I want to do the best I can.' Stamp married once, in 2002, to an Australian pharmacist 35 years younger, though the marriage ended in 2008. From a humble East End childhood to international stardom, Terence Stamp leaves behind a legacy that defined both British cinema of the 1960s and Hollywood blockbusters that followed.

Could a royal friend really reunite Prince William and Prince Harry at a christening? Here's what we know
Prince William and Prince Harry could soon be in the same room, all courtesy of the Duke of Westminster. The Daily Beast reports that Britain's richest aristocrat, Hugh Grosvenor - 'Hughie' to his friends - has asked William to be godfather to his newborn daughter. What's less clear is whether he plans to extend the same invitation to Harry. The Grosvenor fortune-over £10 billion-is tied to centuries of royal favor, and Hughie himself is King Charles' godson. That reality makes it hard to imagine him risking William's trust by staging what could look like a social ambush. The British aristocracy tends to stick with the Crown, and William is its heir. Friends told The Daily Beast that even at his wedding, Hughie's priority was avoiding scenes. 'He wishes they could put their heads together and patch things up, but realizes it's unlikely to happen before the wedding. He wanted to avoid anything overshadowing the day,' one said. That calculus hasn't changed. If awkwardness was a risk with 400 guests, imagine a christening. The likeliest outcome? William attends as godfather. Harry sends congratulations and a silver rattle from California. Harry has spoken publicly about wanting to reconcile. In May, during a BBC interview, he admitted: 'There is no point continuing to fight any more … But I would love a reconciliation … I don't know how much longer my father has. He won't speak to me.' The line 'He won't speak to me' echoed through court circles, according to The Daily Beast, but William has remained silent. Sources told the outlet that the Prince and Princess of Wales deliberately kept clear of a recent 'peace summit' between Harry's team and King Charles' aides. One insider explained: 'It's no coincidence that William and Catherine did not have a representative…They will be treating the talks with extreme caution.' Away from the feud, William and Kate are also preparing for a big change. The Daily Beast reports the couple is moving into Forest Lodge, a newly refurbished eight-bedroom mansion in Windsor Great Park. The renovation, funded privately through the Duchy of Cornwall, comes with a hefty price tag and inevitable scrutiny at a time when many in the UK are struggling to pay bills. Still, aides frame the move as a 'fresh start' after several turbulent years marked by family health crises and the death of Queen Elizabeth II. Whether the public sees it that way-or as tone-deaf extravagance-remains to be seen Hugh Grosvenor, Britain's richest aristocrat and a longtime friend of both William and Harry. Yes, according to The Daily Beast, he has already been asked. That remains uncertain; sources suggest it's unlikely. Because it would force the feuding brothers into the same small, intimate setting. To Forest Lodge, an eight-bedroom estate in Windsor Great Park.
