Stamp is remembered for his portrayal of “unforgettable characters,” from Superman villain General Zod to a trans woman in ‘Priscilla.’

For his performance in William Wyler’s 1965 film “The Collector,” in which he played an odd, repressed young man who kidnaps a beautiful woman, played by Samantha Eggar, with whom he becomes obsessed, Stamp won the best actor prize at the Cannes Film Festival.
