3 h. ago ‘If the devil did exist, he’d be just such a gentleman’: Neil Jordan remembers Terence Stamp

The Company of Wolves director on casting the late actor and an unforgettable hour on set involving Stamp, a Rolls-Royce and a shrivelled skullObituary of Terence StampTerence Stamp: a life in picturesWe were making The Company of Wolves. And we had a problem. With Angela Carter, I had written a scene where the devil drives a cream-coloured Rolls-Royce through an imaginary forest, chauffeured by the young dreamer Rosaleen, played by Sarah Patterson.My initial thought was for Andy Warhol to play the devil. Those pale-blue eyes and that blank expression framed by the blond wig. Andy read the script and liked it. Stephen Woolley, the producer, flew to New York to talk to him, but he was recovering from being shot by Valerie Solanas, who seemed to think he was the actual devil. He said he would play the part, if we shot his scenes in New York. Continue reading...

The writer and director of Song for Marion recalls moments of bravado, tenderness and alarming physical fitness with the late actor We sent Terence the script for Song for Marion, and he just turned up at the office. He buzzed the door and said: “Is Paul there?” There was a new person working in our office at the time, and she said: “No, no one’s in at the minute. Who’s calling?” He said: “It’s Terence Stamp.” And then she was like: “Well, he’s not here, shall I leave a message?” She didn’t invite him up or anything. She left him standing there. And he didn’t give a shit about that, to be honest.Me, Terence and Gemma Arterton, who played the music teacher in Song for Marion, went to lunch at a vegan cafe in Shoreditch. His character, Arthur, was someone who loved his wife (played by Vanessa Redgrave), and would do anything for her, but always moaned, was always cantankerous, and found it very difficult to show any form of love to his son.

The Australian director reflects on his 32-year friendship with Stamp, who was initially ‘absolutely terrified’ to play a trans woman – and their work on the Priscilla sequelTerence Stamp, face of 60s British cinema, dies at 87Stamp was the mesmerising dark prince of British cinemaTerence Stamp: a life in picturesI first saw Terence in The Collector (1965) when I was a kid. It struck in my head as the ultimate horror film – it terrified the daylights out of me. Terence’s greatest beauties were his eyes – in some of the early films you don’t see it, but in person, when they were shining, he could hold a room. He’d sit there and say, “Watch this, I’m going to stop a restaurant.” And he could do it. I saw him do it! It was extraordinary. He once told me that he used to have real fun on Superman when he was bored, stuck on top of the ice castle. “I’d just stare down until everyone went quiet,” he said.We tried many actors when casting Bernadette in The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of ...
