Childhood
Born into a working-class family, Stamp and his five siblings started their lives in London's East End. Actor Terence Stamp is his older brother. Their father, Thomas Stamp, was a tugboat captain and was often absent during their childhood, leaving their mother Ethel (née Perrott) to raise the Stamp clan on her own for the most part.

Famous quotes containing the word childhood:
“The real dividing line between early childhood and middle childhood is not between the fifth year and the sixth year—it is more nearly when children are about seven or eight, moving on toward nine. Building the barrier at six has no psychological basis. It has come about only from the historic-economic-political fact that the age of six is when we provide schools for all.”
—James L. Hymes, Jr. (20th century)
“But childhood prolonged, cannot remain a fairyland. It becomes a hell.”
—Louise Bogan (1897–1970)
