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.
By his fans, he'll never be forgotten. I love him dearly. He was a good man and ingenious actor.
I had the pleasure of meeting and speaking for about 20 minutes with Stephen Boyd after a radio interview as Boyd was in town promoting a film about 1975. He was very nice and friendly.
Love him FOREVER
Boyd, whom I met only once, was a true gentleman. And, ooooh so handsome.
Such a tragic loss. What a drop dead gorgeous specimen!
Der schönste Mann der Welt! Was für eine Ausstrahlung Stephen hat... Ein exzellenter Schauspieler mit wunderbarer maskuliner Stimme. In seinen Filmen hat er ein Geschenk hinterlassen. Unvergessen!
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.
Can you show pictures?
@@margieniles7324 show pictures? Oh you mean of my husband and father- in-law? They're very private. I don't think they'd want me sharing photos on RUclips lol. But take my word for it, they look very like Stephen.
Just watched The Third Secret tonight. Great classic! With Pamela Franklin! Bravo
Too beautiful for words that one. They are both utterly fantastic in it.
My favorite Irish actor over Peter O'Toole and Richard Harris
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.
Trashtalk about Boyd after his death. How low can people go??
Boyd would have made a great James Bond...
Stephen Boyd's mother died in 1972, not 1975. 👍
Love Stephen Boyd❤
How can anyone not. I mean just look at my man.
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
Big actor sthepen boyd
He was a good looking guy
@FrankClanton the only reason his last wedding was brief was because he had died about a year or so after they were Married. She had been his assistant for about 20years and both were very much in love.
She was 20 years older than him and not attractive - strange choice
He was fantastic in the movie " The Prize "
Interesting choice of background music -- the theme from "Once Upon A Time In America"..haunting.
boyd was not gay. the writer of the script for ben-hur wrote the gay script but the actors chalston heston and stephen boyd were not gay
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.
@@johnnymfan5065 Credit to Marissa Mell for having nothing negative to say about Stephen.
@@lesliea7394 Raquel says he was in her autobio but Marisa had a whole chapter about him in her book. Marisa was devastated wjen he ended their relationship. Marisa's face was astonishingly beautiful much better than Raquel
@@johnnymfan5065 I read about that, that woman obviously had never been rejected before and wanted to find some reason
Stephen Boyd was born in 1931 not 1932 and he died June 2 1977 the following month on July 4th he would've been 46 years old he died too young he still had a long career ahead of him RIP gone but not forgotten 😢💔😢 💔🙏💋
not forgottom by me!! I notice him right away. He was not cast in theright films
Yes - Hollywood wasted his talent in lousy films that were beneath him
He was so handsome and a great actor and he was not gay that rumour started by Raquel Welch in an interview in 2012 they made that movie Fantastic Voyage and it seems that she made advances twoards him and he rejected her and that's why she said he was gay by what I've heard he was a gentleman and what she said doesn't matter RIP BELOVED 💔💋♥️💜 💋♥️💔🙏
The announcer actor Don Pardo said he didn't like Raquel she was too stuck up but he said Candace Bergen and Jill Clayburg were nice
he said he liked the shape of Doris Days ass
@@spacepatrolman I don't think Stephen Boyd would say something like that about any woman specialy Doris Day they were good friends and besides for what I hear he was a gentleman
@@spacepatrolman Raquel Welch thought she was God's gift to the world I think fame went to her head 💩😜😝😛
@@77778598 her real name is Del gado she won a beauty pagent and she is a good singer made a few albums
@hess1912 I am quite serious. I worked in the entertainment industry for a quarter-century. I met Mr Boyd in the early 1960s whilst visiting my aunt in Hollywood. That, of course, was a good decade before I worked there.
"Will you stop beating on my ears!? I've had it with all your bring down. I'm me. And that's plenty good enough."
@hess1912 Not necessarily so. Many men who are either gay or bi-sexual are married and lead quite happy lives. This is particularly so in the entertainment business and in sports.
Boyd was NOT gay, no evidence of this trashtalk
He was born in 1931 and was 45 when he died, not 46.
Unlike hisalone I did not know Steve, but he did have a power.
@diama56
Yes, me too!! :-)
I believe he could have been a wonderful Marc Anthony. :)
Heh..."blockbuster fillum" I love foreign accents!
i didnt know he was married 2wice but he died in the second marriage. so he couldnt be gay
so are u around your 50 or 60 in age?
@FrankClanton Only a rumour.
are u serious? i never heard that
are u serious?
My mum used to know Steve in N. Ireland. It needs saying though, your narrator should have said 'Juno and the Paycock' not 'Judo'. That's a terrible cock-up. It is, after all, a very famous play!
What are your mother's memories of Stephen Boyd?
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.
