I worked with Stephen Boyd as a production assistant on the well-intentioned failure Slaves (1969). He was a professional at all times, yet distanced himself from cast and crew when not on camera. Incidentally, the writer's name is pronounced "Vide-all" NOT "Viddle" as you twice said.
I am curious as to why attention is being paid to him now. This is the second new video I have seen. First time I am hearing about substance abuse. Really? He was a very heavy smoker and I believe this contributed to his very early death. He is one of my all time favorites. He died before he could make Wild Geese. Who made this video? Where did they get their "facts"? Gore Viddles? This video insults the memory of Stephen Boyd.
No mention because he was NOT gay, at all! He had lots of affairs with European actresses, although he didn't like being gossiped for not embarassing his mother in Ireland. His longest love story was with actress Marisa Mell, who attempted suicide when they split up. No gay, no bisexual, please cut all the crap about him!!
@@CarnationLass true, but actually he got married three times, the first time he stayed married for less than a year and divorced right before the beginning of Ben Hur, the second time with the Austrian actress Marisa Mell but the marriage was annulled, they split up and she attempted suicide for him; the third time a few months before dying. He also had love affairs with actresses Dolores Hart, Jean Seberg and rumours were also about his living secretly for a while withFrench movie star Brigitte Bardot, but he always tried not to reveal his affairs in order not to embarass his parents living in Ireland.
One of the most memorable actors of all-time.

He gave a very good performance in that. Dionne Warwick said that Stephen helped her with her role.

No, he wasn't homosexual. He didn't like being tied down by marriage. He married his long time assistant to make sure she was legally protected.
