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 masculine 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.

Crazy to think it was ####50#### years ago that Slaves was playing in theaters! It was released in May 1969. Stephen Boyd and Dionne Warwick were in Baltimore for the premiere. Naturally, Baltimore was chosen for the premiere as an influential African American city. The producer of Slaves, Herbert Biberman, had been blacklisted for years in Hollywood. This was his first film since. His wife, Gale Sondergaard, was also blacklisted, and she appears in a minor role as an elderly woman at the slave sale, questioning Nathan McKay( Stephens character) #stephenboyd #ossiedavis #dionnewarwick #robertkyahill #slaves1969 #slavery #uncletomscabin #harrietbeecherstowe #slavesploitation @dionnewarwickarchive
