    My all time favorite since I saw him in Ben-Hur in 1959 when I was barely a teenager. I have never gotten over my "crush" on Stephen Boyd and as the years have passed I have come to realize what a decent and honorable person he was......far, far beyond his extraordinary good looks and screen presence. I do believe that he was close to making a comeback in American films. Sadly, he ran out of time. Forever in my heart. Never forgotten.

    Messala is the most beautiful roman soldier in cinematic history. I fell in love with Stephen Boyd when I first saw him on the screen in Ben Hur. He was handsome and very talanted.

    It's so strange for me to see Billy (Stephen) on screen because my husband and father-in-law look so like him! Billy (Stephen) was my Father-in-law's Uncle. I love watching his shows, such a talent.

    I don't understand why some people feel the need to say an actor was gay, as if that would make the actor less talented - I don't know if Boyd was gay, bi or straight but who the heck cares? He was gorgeous and talented, and died too soon.

    Thank you thank you for a great triggers to Stephen... My heart sunk when when you said he missed his calling and missing other opportunities after being with Elizabeth Taylor..she was real jinx to him wasn't she.? Real sick for fine actor very serious he knew and enjoyed what he was doing. He's a real heartthrob seeing you invented her and all that Roman uniforms her looked real sexy. Acting was riveting in that movie. My heart dropped and started to cry when you said he died at the age of 46 that's one of the primes of people's lives at that age.. I just turned 70 still trying to make the best of me but I've been recently attacked here in Brooklyn I can hardly walk after my meniscus had been permanently damaged my left knee. Walking with a limp feeling like a homeless person.. and hearing stuffing dying at 46 makes me say God why do people have to die so young. Just with so many people I know who died with AIDS I was scared feel guilty than others have died before me

      That bitch Raquel Welch said he was gay , speaking in front of an audience at her film festival here in NYC about 10 years ago. She said he spurned her advacnces while they were promoting the film Fantastic Voyage by telling her he was gay. Thats the kind of nasty bitch that Raquel is legendary for being, to out a dead actor in a public setting like that. He may have made an exception , though, for the outrageously beautiful Marisa Mell who wanted him bad and who he eventually did have an extremely intense affair with, that Boyd had to break off due to how heavy it was Marisa always reemembered him,writing a whole chapter about him in her autobio.

      Alas, my mum is no longer with us, and she spoke little on that. I do know she would speak to his sister regularly en route to work every morning. At that time he was in a local radio show, 'The McCooeys' (???). His sister in law used to work at a local shop in Templepatrick for ages. But hey, a great talent he was.

    Not on my watch he’s not forgotten. I only wish he knew how much his craft means to someone from half a century later, who was torn to pieces by his portrayal of Messala, and has been a devoted fan ever since. He had the kind of potential the likes of which is too rare, yet was taken for granted because of being ridiculously sexy. Even so, he delivered, and minus a couple of mistakes he made in his choices, he has a range of timeless beautiful movies that mean the world to me.
