Terence Stamp

Terence Henry Stamp was born and lived in Canal Road, Bow, until German bombers forced his family to move to Plaistow. An icon of the 1960s, he dated the likes of Julie Christie, Brigitte Bardot and Jean Shrimpton. After an extremely successful early career, starring in Modesty Blaise (1966), Poor Cow (1967) and Far from the Madding Crowd (1967), Stamp withdrew from mainstream films after his girlfriend, supermodel Jean Shrimpton, left him, and he went on a 10-year sabbatical in India. He returned home in the late 1970s to star as the evil General Zod in Superman II (1980), and in 1984, delivered what many consider his finest performance as the supergrass in Stephen Frears' The Hit (1984). A few minor but colourful roles, topped by his performance as the transsexual Bernadette in The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert (1994), have put Stamp back in the British consciousness. His role of a vengeful gangster in The Limey (1999) was created especially for him by its director.

Terence Young

Born in Shanghai and Cambridge-educated, Terence Young began in the industry as a scriptwriter. In the 1940s he worked on a variety of subjects, including the hugely popular wartime romance Dangerous Moonlight (1941), set to Richard Addinsell's rousing "Warsaw Concerto". His original story was devised while listening to a concert in an army training camp. As it turned out, Young was soon after involved in the war himself, as a member of the Guards. By the end of the decade Young had graduated to directing. He made his debut with the psychological melodrama Corridor of Mirrors (1948), starring Eric Portman as a reclusive art collector obsessed with reincarnation and murder. During the following decade Young helmed a number of international co-productions, which featured imported stars from Hollywood (Alan Ladd in The Red Beret (1953); Olivia de Havilland in That Lady (1955); Victor Mature in Safari (1956), Zarak (1956) and Tank Force! (1958)). These films were made by Warwick, an independent production company created jointly by Irwin Allen and future James Bond producer Albert R. Broccoli, and released through Columbia. Production values were often quite high, though scripts were of variable quality. "Safari", for instance, looked great, shot in Technicolor and CinemaScope on location in Africa, which partly compensated for the trite storyline. Having acquired the rights to all available James Bond novels from Ian Fleming, producers Harry Saltzman and Albert Broccoli secured the necessary funding ($1,250,000) from United Artists and hired Young to direct the initial Bond entry, Dr. No (1962). That film's success got him re-hired to direct two subsequent Bond films, From Russia with Love (1963) (Young's own personal favorite) and Thunderball (1965). Young had acquired a solid reputation as a master of action subjects, and all three films move at a cracking pace. Exotic locales provide the background for a seamless mix of technical wizardry, sex, violence and tongue-in-cheek (sometimes campy) dialogue. Unfortunately, these films also marked the high point of Young's career, though he did direct another eerily effective psychological thriller, Wait Until Dark (1967), much in the vein of Alfred Hitchcock. Among a brace of forgettable European co-productions, only two other films stand out: the bawdy, highly entertaining all-star period comedy The Amorous Adventures of Moll Flanders (1965) and an intriguing expose of the inner workings--and dark beginnings--of the Cosa Nostra (based on an actual informant's testimony), entitled The Valachi Papers (1972). After that, Young's output became more patchy and his later career suffered as a result of two disastrous projects: first, the Korean War epic Inchon (1981), with Laurence Olivier badly miscast as Gen. Douglas MacArthur. The enterprise was reputedly financed by the Rev. Sun Myung Moon's organization--aka the "Moonies"--to the tune of $40 million. Film critic Vincent Canby in the New York Times (September 17, 1982) referred to the picture as "hysterical" and "foolish", "the most expensive B-movie ever made". The second flop, a financially troubled production, was the predictably plotted spy thriller The Jigsaw Man (1983). Completed in 1982, the film was held back and not released until two years later. Young directed just one more film after that and left the industry in 1988. However, according to his daughter, he was working on a documentary in Cannes at the time of his death in September 1994. Though he went on record in 1966, asserting that he had grown rather tired of the Bond franchise, it is, nonetheless, that for which we will ultimately remember him.

Terence de Marney

Gaunt, emaciated-looking British character actor who enjoyed a lengthy career on the stage, both as an actor and as a director. By the age of 19, he was already a noted writer and producer of plays. De Marney made his theatrical debut in London in 1923. His first major role was as Jim Hawkins in "Treasure Island". For the next eight years, he went on tour with "The Last of Mrs. Cheyney", "Journey's End" and "The Lady of the Camelias". In 1931, he started to direct plays at the Connaught Theatre in Worthing and in the following year co-founded the Independent Theatre Club (formerly the Kingsway Theatre) with his brother Derrick De Marney, as an outlet for works banned for various reasons by the Lord Chamberlain. His next important part was that of Tybalt in "Romeo and Juliet" at the Open Air Theatre in 1934 which marked the beginning of a tendency towards villainous, or, at least, antagonistic portrayals. In the 1930's, he acted in a variety of thrillers and Victorian mysteries, ranging from Agatha Christie's "Dear Murderer" to Daphne Du Maurier's "Trilby" . He also co-wrote (in conjunction with Percy Robinson) several mystery plays, the most successful of which, "The Crime of Margaret Foley", ran for 210 performances at the Comedy Theatre in 1947 (with De Marney himself in the cast). Another, Wanted for Murder (1946), was later filmed, starring Eric Portman and Dulcie Gray. De Marney was also the very first actor to portray 'the Saint' (Simon Templar) in a radio serial of 1940. After one of his plays flopped in 1953, De Marney went to Hollywood to try his luck on the screen. By the time he returned to England in 1962, he had notched up an impressive portfolio of credits as a TV guest star. This even included a recurring role in the western series Johnny Ringo (1959). For the better part of his remaining years, De Marney would relish the sinister and the macabre. Several of his outings into the horror genre have not travelled well : they include the abysmal Pharaoh's Curse (1957) and the poorly scripted H.P. Lovecraft adaptation Die, Monster, Die! (1965). On the other side of the ledger is a rather decent B-production, The Hand of Night (1968), a vampire tale shot on location in Morocco. The film has style and atmosphere to boot (though the sound mixing is of variable quality) and De Marney's performance as the maniacal Omar (henchman to the vampire queen Aliza Gur) is quite memorable. Terence De Marney died tragically when he fell under a subway train at the Kensington High Street Station in London on May 25 1971. Though he had always looked considerably older than his years, he was only 63.

Terence-Hari Fernandes

At 16, Terence-Hari Fernandes was the youngest playwright to ever put up a play at the St. Andrews Auditorium, Mumbai. By 18 he had staged his plays all over Mumbai, including the Ravindra Natya Mandir and NCPA's revered 'Experimental Stage'. He'd also written three novels by this time but this was 2015 and the publishing landscape in India was going through a mid-life crisis. He jumped to films. By 2020 he'd founded a technology start-up and made over a dozen short films and music videos that have travelled the world. He'd worked with brands like Vice, Discovery, Hotstar, Netflix and more. Lekh-Haq is his latest creative venture that aims to create films that make ideas and brands irresistible.
