"You were a true inspiration, both in & out of heels," Pearce wrote of his The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert co-star

The British actor, who starred in 'Billy Budd,' 'Wall Street,' 'Superman II' and 'The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert,' died Sunday at 87.

Filmmaker Edgar Wright and actors Guy Pearce and Lou Diamond Phillips took to social media to express their grief over the Sunday death of actor Terence Stamp.

The plot follows two drag queens Mitzi Del Bra and Felicia Jollygoodfellow (played by Hugo Weaving and Guy Pearce) and transgender woman Bernadette Bassenger (Stamp), as they journey across the Australian Outback on a tour bus named Priscilla.

More than 30 years after road-tripping in wigs across the Outback together, Guy Pearce is paying tribute to the late Terence Stamp. The Oscar nominee remembered his The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert (1994) co-star as “a true inspiration” after Deadline reported that Stamp died at age 87 on Sunday,

The storyline chronicles two drag queens Mitzi Del Bra and Felicia Jollygoodfellow (portrayed by Hugo Weaving and Guy Pearce) and transgender woman Bernadette Bassenger (Stamp), as they traverse the Australian Outback aboard a tour bus called Priscilla.

His obituaries all led with General Zod, but his turn as the caustic, undeniable Bernadette Bassenger in 1994's ‘The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert’ might shine brightest.

Opinion: Over 30 years later, Stamp’s Bernadette remains a legendary film character, especially in these current anti-LGBTQ+ times, writes .
