Superman and Stars Wars star Terence Stamp left eye-watering sum to family in his will after his death aged 87
OSCAR-nominated actor Terence Stamp left £1million in his will, documents show.
The star, who died last August aged 87, played villain General Zod in the original Superman movie and its sequel Superman II.
High Court records seen by The Sun show Stamp — who was divorced and had no children — left £1,015,564 to his wider family.
Stamp was born in London’s East End in 1938 and worked in advertising before winning a drama school scholarship in the 1950s.
His movie debut, Billy Budd in 1962, won him an Oscar nomination.
He dated actress Julie Christie and became a Sixties cultural figure.
In 1994, he shocked fans by playing trans woman Bernadette in The Adventures Of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert.
The role won him a Golden Globe nomination.
Stamp went on to appear in a string of other films, including Valkyrie with Tom Cruise and Yes Man with Jim Carrey.
He continued to act well into his 80s with parts in various films and in TV’s adaptation of His Dark Materials.
But despite appearing in dozens of productions, he said he was annoyed he had not done more. He revealed: “My only regrets are the films that I passed on because I was fearful.”
Stamp died on August 17 last year, with tributes flooding in from acting royalty.
