Tributes to 'iconic' Stamp

VETERAN British actor Terence Stamp, who starred in the original Superman films, has been remembered as "iconic" and a "true movie star".

The Academy Award-nominated actor, who played Kryptonian villain General Zod in Superman and Superman II, died on Sunday aged 87.

Filmmaker Edgar Wright, who directed Last Night In Soho - the last movie Stamp featured in - paid tribute to the actor in a lengthy social media post.

He said: "I am deeply saddened by the passing of Terence Stamp, a British actor who was truly iconic. An East Ender that rose to such fame in Swinging Sixties London, he could rightly be called its epicentre.

"Terence's career spanned seven decades and never stopped surprising. I was fortunate to work with him on what became his final screen role in Last Night in Soho.
