hamburg,
12-02-03 thank you so much for your great site abt stephen boyd!! I have my
computer only a few days, and after all these years I found informations abt the
man I loved when I was a young girl and saw ben hur the first time. (in 1960!)I
never forgot my "first love", and I am really more than shocked to
read that he died so long ago and so very young. Although my tears are still
running I am so thankful for all the endeavours you took to arrange this site.
thank you, brigitte, from germany!!! - monika

It
was pleasing to see your site and learn a bit more about Stephen Boyd.
Personally remember him mostly from "Ben Hur" and "Fall of the
Roman Empire." Interesting that Stephen's BH co-star, the title character
from that film, Charlton Heston was IIRC first offered the role of Livius by
producer Samuel Bronston. He felt he had done enough "ancient epics"
so turned it down, instead he did (the underrated IMO) "55 Days at
Peking" which was also for Bronston. That opened up the FotRE lead for
Stephen Boyd, which he of course accepted. Good that Boyd did the picture, some
dislike(d) it though others were and are more favorable. For some reason, it
wasn't even nominated (?!) for any set design awards yet Tiomkin's great music
was noticed. Nominated for an Oscar in that category (lost to "Mary Poppins"
of all movies) and actually won the scoring Golden Globe. So in that sense, and
on video, it lives on. Also seem to recall that Kirk "Spartacus"
Douglas was offered the part (and a lot of $$$) Christopher Plummer played,
Bronston was still trying at that point for actors associated with epic leads.
Kirk wanted instead to do a Cortez-Montezuma story with Bronston, that fell
apart (Bronston likely running out of $$$ by then) and Plummer came in. Many
have compared FotRE with "Gladiator," wonder if there was any official
acknowledgement of the former by the those who did the latter, they're so very
similar. And yet different, Russell Crowe was ok, have to say I much preferred
Plummer's more complex Commodus vs. Joaquin Phoenix's histrionics. The endings
were also sort of different. Probably not spoiling anything by noting that
"Gladiator" tried for a sort of positive conclusion after Crowe got
killed by having the eulogy for him. Stephen Boyd survived FotRE but with an
otherwise more downbeat ending, great scene where he walked off in disgust as
they were auctioning off the Empire. Well, I've talked about the one movie as
opposed to Stephen Boyd's entire career, thanks anyway!

Martin
Scorsese, in a recent documentary,had very good things to say about The Fall of
the Roman Empire. To me, the love between two powerful, mature, duty bound
people was wonderful. As played by Stephen Boyd, Livius was a Roman General who
had nothing to prove to anyone. His bravery and skill were legendary. He served
at the whim of Caesar. Ms. Loren also portrayed a mature woman who knew her
duty, no matter what. Their scenes together are full of warmth and longing for
what might have been.

Yes,
he did die with all of the glamour that befitted a star. We were watching Ben
Hur when my husband asked me to look him up on the computer because he heard of
him for so long. We didn't realized he had died so young. He was truly a star
and accomplished more than he could ever have dreamed of.

Whilst
watching "Fall of The Roman Empire" my wife and I asked the question
yet again. What happened to Stephen Boyd? This time we got on the computer to
find out. We are very saddened by what we have just found out.....although we
suspected he must have died as we had not seen or heard of him for ages. As I
write this, the above film is on the telly so I will watch it once more with
sadness. Thank you for a lovely web site

What
a great website i ve always been a fan of Stephen Boyd,iwas just 14yrs old when
I saw my favourite film Stephen appeared in"The Fall of The Roman
Empire" .He was so good alongside Sophia Loren ,at that age for me it was
like a romantic fantasy ,films do that, but only the quality of the acting &
the actors can make that,I ve realised more since .what a great pity Stephen
did'nt live long enough to act &perform While he was at the prime of his
life . thanks Steve Lampitt

I
love the information I read on this website about Stephen Boyd!!! He certainly
was a Great Actor!!! I remember watching Stephen in "Ben Hur" when I
was a kid and again in the "Bible" I saw "Fall Of The Roman
Empire" again last night and just loved watching Stephen Boyd and Alec
Guiness both wonderful Actors. I have know about Stephen's death years ago, I
remember reading it in the newspaper, I was in Junior High at the time. He was
45-very young!! Nice to be here and talk about such a wonderful actor. Karen

Thank
you very much Madam, for that website built with reverance and respect for our
beloved actor. I was 13, in 1964, when I saw Ben Hur and discoverd the actor who
has been remaining my favourite movie star for that day. You have brought to me
lots of information I never found about he in spite of research. The French TV
mentionned the fact when he died but that was so fastly said and unexpected that
I was not very shure of what I heard that famous evening. Thanks to you, and to
the weblink established with the French website of this other Anne-Marie, his
memery is enshured to live as long as we do. God Bless you, Madam.

Thank
you so much for providing such a wonderful website for a "great" Irish
actor, and, I believe, he's right up there with Peter O'Toole, another great
Irish actor who also has not had the acclaim that he well deserves as Mr. Boyd
did.

WONDERED WHAT HAPPENED TO THIS GREAT ACTOR.EVER SINCE I SAW HIM IN BEN HUR AS
MESSALA AS A CHILD,I WAS FASCINATED BY HIS POWER ON THE SCREEN.IT IS A TRAGEDY
THAT DURING HIS ABBREVIATED LIFE,THAT HE NEVER RECEIVED THE RECOGNITION FOR HIS
ROLE AS THE ROMAN TRIBUNE.THERE ARE MANY HOLLYWOOD ACTORS TODAY THAT ARE CALLED
STARS,WHO COULDN'T STAND IN THIS MAN'S SHADOW AS ACTORS.THIS IS JUST MY HUMBLE
TRIBUTE.SINCERELY,TOM PRICE

I
have just finished watching Ben Hur on network TV and, like on many earlier
occasions I have watched it, found myself asking the question, "whatever
happened to Stephen Boyd?" Ben Hur is such a powerful and moving story, and
Stephen's performance is nothing short of awesome: I decided it was about time I
researched into what became of this talented actor who commanded such screen
presence, and why it was that his career never really blossomed from this role
as one would have expected. I stumbled across your website and some of those
answers have been answered. I was greatly saddened to learn of his premature
passing. Thanks for all the hard work that you and your contributors have done
in establishing and maintaining this website: it is a fitting tribute to a
talented man. Kind regards, Mike

Thank
you for a wonderful site. I enjoyed all of the pictures, stories, articles, and
information. I fell in love with Stephen Boyd when I first saw Ben-Hur as a
young kid (my dad could never understand why I liked the "bad guy,"
and I never could explain that it was the humanness of the character that
appealed so much, even back then. Stephen Boyd made Messala come alive in so
many ways. I remember going to Travel Town in LA when I was a kid and they had
Messala's chariot there. I could have stood there for hours. I've since gone
back and have been told it was moved somewhere else. I was nine years old when
he died, and I still remember how shocked I was when my mom read his obituary in
the paper to me. I still watch for his movies, and they still make me smile.
Thanks for a great site.

always thougt to myself how such good and handsome actor as Stephen Boyd never
made to the Hollywood top ranks. Maybe he did'nt want, I guess. His acting in
Ben Hur, as Messala, was great. I was a kid at the time and his playing of
Messala´s death impressed me forever. Luiz, Brasilia, DF Brazil

Recently
watched Imperial Venus, with great chemistry between Stephen Boyd and Gina
Lolabrigida. Another great on screen match is Stephen Boyd and Camila Sparv. I
really enjoyed Stephen Boyd's pursuit of Camila Sparv. He handled her gentle but
firm rejection very well and was not detered and ofcourse won out in the end.
The movie is Assignment K. What a wonderful, multi-talented actor!

This
site is quite impressive and I'm sure Billy would approve. Until tonight I never
knew that the man I knew as Stephen Boyd was born in Northern Ireland. I have
been there so many times and love the North. Stephen was a very dynamic actor
and a terrific presence on screen. It was truly a sad day when he left this
Earth at such an early age. He will not be forgotten as I proved tonight by
simply clicking on his name.

reassuring to know that there is a website dedicated to a fabulous actor. I was
only 6 years old when Stephen Boyd passed away, but he will always be
immortalised for his acting abilities in films such as Ben hur and The Fall of

You
have done a fantastic job with this site. I just recently acquired a DVD of Ben-Hur,
I saw it many times while growing up (I was born in 1959), but I hadn't grasp
what an excellent actor Stephen Boyd was until I saw in the last few days. It
inspired me to investiage more on this great actor. You site does him justice.

While
watching The Best Years of Our Lives, directed by William Wyler, I noticed
something interesting. Early in the movie there is a scene where the returning
war veteran stands at one end of a long hallway in his apartment. His wife walks
out of a door at the other end of the long hall and stops as she sees him. His
back is to the camera and he hesitates and then walks towards her. The scene is
very reminiscent of the scene in Ben Hur when Messala and Juda Ben Hur are
reunited after many years apart. Ben Hur is ofcourse another great William Wyler
film.

so many of you, I often wondered what happen to Stephen. He was too good an
actor to simply disappear. I remember going to the cinema when I was 14 years
old to see Ben Hur. I was the only one who cried when Messala "died".
Thanks for this website, I hope there will be a book soon.

leaving a message just before, I read in your website that Stephen boyd was from
Northern Ireland. This was very surprising to me as my grandfather David Boyd
was from Belfast (although I thought the origin of the name 'Boyd' was Scottish
meaning 'blonde haired'. I thought I had Lord Sephton in my ancestry and also
Sir Rowland hill (inventor of the postage system), but now I'm wondering about
Stephen Boyd???

I
am a 33 years old Hungarian graphic designer, who lives in Canada. Ben-Hur is
the biggest movie experience in my whole life. I have the movie in every format
and kind. The original with the original voices, with hungarian voices, full
screen, wide screen, everything. This is my "MOVIE" since I first
wached at the age 12. Not just becasue this is a good movie, but brings Biblical
message to everybody, to me. This is why I wached this move more than 500
times... Stephen Boyd become an iconic and emblematic actor for me. His face,
acting, voice, movement, eyes is part of my life (just like Carlton Heston's
too)... Great honor for the Great Actor. He is unforgetable... Best regards

First
saw Stephen in Ben Hur when I was a kid. Though he played a dislikable character
in that film, I loved his performance and took interest in his career from then
on. Too bad he left us so young. Rob

Hi
again Brigitte! *zwaait vanuit Holland* As Monika Graefe also says at the
beginning of this guestbook: Stephen Boyd was also my first "love"
when I saw him as Messala when I was 6 years old. Unfortunately I never got to
meet him, but it is really a thrill to see that there are so many others who
remember him and love him! I still watch Ben Hur from time to time (usually 2 or
3 times a year at least) and luckily technology lets us see it on dvd in great
quality. I will always remember Stephen and keep his memory alive. Anyone
wanting to email me and have a chat about Stephen, please do :-) Looking forward
to the book, Brigitte, although getting it in Holland will be a problem, as
usual. Best wishes, Maaike

Just
want to make sure you got my suggestion about posting Mr. Boyd's photo on the
Internet Movie Data Base by the wonderful bio that you wrote. I would like to
volunteer to take care of it.

Hi,
I'm really pleased to have found your site. Like most folk, my early
recollections of Stephen relate to his performances in 'Ben Hur' and 'The Fall
of the Roman Empire' which I viewed at my now defunct local cinema in my home
town of Nuneaton, near to Coventry, Warwickshire back in the late 1950's &
early 1960's. I can inform you that Stephen actually made a number of visits to
Nuneaton during the time that he performed live on stage with the Midland
Theatre Company throughout 1953 & 1954. I have the theatre programme from
December 1953 for the production of "Arabian Nights" where he
portrayed both 'Ali Baba' and 'The Grand Vizier', both roles that, at that early
stage in his career, gave some indication of his potential of becoming one of
the greatest actors in the movie business. Unfortunately, I was too young at
that time to anything about the production I can send you jpg attachments which
I'm sure would enhance your already wonderful website. I look forward to hearing
from you, Sincerely, Geoff Cooke

Dec 04 Superb website covering numerous aspects of a remarkably versatile actor.
In life Mr.Boyd was clearly underappreciated professionally; however, your
dedicated research and marvellous presentation provides a fitting tribute to a
gentleman and consummate craftsman of dramatic arts. As one of Mr. Boyd's
admirers, thank you for your most laudable efforts to make this re- source
available to his public. Best regards, AC Armstrong, MD

la decada del 70, luego de la funcion de "Marta", fue la unica vez que
observe fila en el cine, en el baño de caballeros. Excelente, a mi criterio las
escenas de amor de dicho film

Brigit,
I wanted to send you a quick note....I just watched (for the first time) THE
FALL OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE and throughly enjoyed it! Stephen was fantastic in this
film and I think it was one of his best roles. As always, I enjoy my visit each
time to your website...you have done a great job with it. Also, thanks again for
