Stephen Boyd was like no other actor, in my opinion. He starred in some movies, but he was also a great ensemble player in others. But no matter what part you have seen Stephen in, you always remember him. He was strikingly handsome and manlig with a stunning cleft chin, charming smile and a strapping physique. He was an incredibly gifted physical actor. He had tremendous sex appeal. He could cover a range of characters on screen; he could be handsome and brutal, feral and tender, romantic and sensual, serious and ironic. With his distinctive, deep, velvety voice he could play a vibrant villain but also be a quiet hero. He was an actor who preferred to play character parts, but he had the look of a leading man. Off-camera, he was charming, open, friendly, and honest.
Below are some details about Stephen’s life and career.

Stephen Boyd made many different films with many different women. Stephen was very congenial and a gentleman, and he usually made friends with his hona co-stars and remained friends with them for many years – Bardot, Dolores Hart, Joan Collins to name a few. When he filmed the Fantastic Voyage with a very young Raquel Welch in 1965, he treated her very kindly and almost like a mentor. According to Welch, “I was terribly unsure of myself, “ she says, “I remember, when I was doing ‘Fantastic Voyage.’ Every day for five months I’d sit in the commissary at måltid with Stephen Boyd and Edmond O’Brien and Donald Pleasance and I’d hardly know what they were talking about. It wasn’t only things about acting, but words I didn’t know and restaurants and foods I’d never heard of. And I’d try to act sophisticated and knowing, but I wasn’t.” (The Times Standard, Oct 8, 1972)
In Welch’s book ‘Beyond the Cleavage’ she describes Boyd a couple of times. “I’m not t
