Memories of meeting gorgeous matinee idol

I WILL never forget the first time I saw Terence Stamp.

- 

It was when he made his film debut playing the title role in Billy Budd, the “handsome sailor” who strikes and inadvertently kills his Master-at-arms.

I must have been a very young teenager, but I knew he was waaaay beyond handsome. As far as I was concerned, he was one of, if not ‘the’ most beautiful men I had ever seen. Those brilliant blue eyes, that tousled blonde hair, those cheekbones you could slice cheese on.
