  • At 90, Richard Chamberlain FINALLY Admits What We All Suspected
    Richard Chamberlain’s all-around dashing looks paired with his gentlemanly demeanour and prolific acting profile, made him the object of desire and fantasy to many fans. However, despite being very successful in his career, Richard always seemed too busy for romance and remained a bachelor for the longest time - until he wasn't. It's recently been revealed that a huge part of Richard’s image was carefully curated, so stay tuned as we take a look into what lay beneath all the glamour and the hidden challenges Richard faced off-screen.

    I had Richard Chamberlain as a client in the late 1980's. He was accompanied by a man younger than he, who I assumed to be a significant other and who I later learned became his husband. Richard was warm, unassuming, unaffected and thoroughly charming. I found him to be one of the most personable high profile people I had dealt with. A genuinely delightful man.

    I had a crush on Richard Chamberlain from the age of 6. He was my very first crush. Now I understand why. It was not only his boyish good looks but his refined inner sense of good manners.

    He was a survivor in a hostile environment. He should be admired for that.

    Richard chamberlain is so much more than a gay man.
    He is one of the finest men ever to grace the stage and screen. His parents must have been so proud of him. He is certainly one if not the most handsome actor i have had the pleasure of watching. His body of work is staggering.and he is aging beautifully. I am sorry to say i have not seen all his work but as a very young woman i watched him as dr.kildare and was hooked. The thornbirds is my go-to movie just watched it again yesterday and it never ages. I wish mr. Chamberlain only the best and especially good health. Richard..you are a national treasure. Blessings.😊❤

    I always liked Richard Chamberlain. Loved him as Dr. Kildare. I think it was in 1962, he had a recording of "True Love". I so appreciated him as an actor. I rarely missed a movie or show he appeared in. The Thorn Birds was a great movie. I drove a friend of mine to see it. She was close to 70 and I was 18. We both enjoyed it very much. He could act in every roll, any character. I hope he knows he was admired and appreciated for his work.

    Absolutely LOVE Richard Chamberlain. As a family we would always look forward to anything he was in. We’d quickly proclaim every performance as our ‘favourite’. My nieces loved him. It was as if he was a ‘touchstone’ through our generations. And we were all happy when he could live his truth. What a beautiful man, a great soul and oh the joy he’s given so many of us through so many years. I truly hope the J M Barrie quote is true for him: Those who bring happiness into the lives of others, cannot fail to bring it into their own. I send him love and thanks from me, and on behalf of my family. I want to watch his beautifully innocent portrayal of Alexander McKeag in the brilliant ‘Centennial’ again. And Father Ralph - of course. And so much more. Thank you Richard. Be well, be happy. Thank you for a great video here!

    I watched Dr Kildare when he was a kid and loved him. I think he is the epitome of soft-spokeness .kindness..gentleness. One episode particularly that I remember was the one with Yvette Mimeux. She was surfing and had a seizure and he was very sad. My Mom likened me to her in looks and personality. Thank you Richard for your wonderful career ❤

    Always loved Richard Chamberlain; first in Dr. Kildare, when I was very young and then when he did The Thornbirds; he was so good in that and then when he did Shogun, which was amazing. He's just an all around great actor and I'm so glad that I got to see him in so many things. Can't believe that he's 90 years old! I hope that he can continue for years to come. (from Sandi)
