Terence Stamp remembered by Priscilla director Stephan Elliott: ‘Those eyes turned everybody to jelly’

The Australian director reflects on his 32-year friendship with Stamp, who was initially ‘absolutely terrified’ to play a trans woman – and their work on the Priscilla sequel

Oooh! Sounds wonderful: “a sequel to the beloved 1994 "The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert" “ Can’t wait! 😁
Watched ‘Priscilla’ again recently & it holds up so well. Amazing how many people have never seen that very last scene when (erhhhm) blows into (arrrhoo). I’m not a spoiler! Retrained me to sit or watch all the way through the end titles of every movie thereafter. 😁
