Stamp received a Best Actor Oscar nod, a nomination for Most Promising Newcomer at England's BAFTA awards, and he shared the Most Promising Newcomer Golden Globe prize for 1962 with Keir Dullea and Omar Sharif.
In this period, Stamp perhaps gave the two finest performances of his life: In Stephen Frears' 1984 crime drama, The Hit, he wowed critics and audiences alike as a man whose equanimity in the face of his impending death unnerves the hit man (John Hurt) sent to kill him.
Stamp may be celebrating 40 years in film, but it was a different anniversary that recently induced him to jet the thousands of miles from Sydney to San Francisco.
