In this enchanting memoir, Terence Stamp takes listeners with him on his unlikely journey from prewar London’s East End, where his birth heralded the unification of two Cockney clans, to the beginnings of the stardom that would transform his life.
A born storyteller, Terence looks back on his life with humor and affection for everyone from his beloved mother—whose unswerving conviction that he was special instilled in Terence a belief that his life would be different—to the teacher who informed him that he “would make a good manager at Woolworth’s.”
That was not to be. After winning a scholarship to the Webber Douglas Academy, Terence teamed up with another struggling actor, fellow Londoner Michael Caine. The two shared a mews house, running their lines together and sharing one suit for auditions. But the lean times were about to end.

"I had already read "Stamp Album", and consider Terence Stamp as good an author as an actor. When I saw that he was the narrator, I couldn't resist buying. A friend of mine says she could listen to him read the phone book. He didn't disappoint. Many narrators, while performing well, are stiff in delivery. Mr. Stamp allows humor into his recollections, reliving them obviously, as he is reading. And it works well. I listened to the book almost straight through. It's a fascinating story as well, detailed and well written. Very recommended."
