Who can forget Richard Chamberlain as the eponymous Dr. Kildare, Fr. Ralph in The Thorn Birds or as Blackthorn in Shogun? We might know him for his marvellous acting as 'The King of the '80s Mini-series', but what of his superb theatre work, painting, singing and writing?
Richard Chamberlain wrote and published his memoir SHATTERED LOVE in 2003. In 2020, he has re-read his memoir and joins author and singer Miriam, host of WRITER'S BLOCK, to discuss this and his incredible acting career.
(23 January 2021)
WRITER'S BLOCK has returned from a winter break and checking in on this video I am delighted with the positive comments. WRITER'S BLOCK is a meeting of authors, singers, actors and artistic minds, from professionals over many years (myself 30 years a professional singer and more recently author) of all ages and levels of success. It's not a Q&A nor an inquisition, but a place to celebrate how we as professionals have been affected by, approach enjoy and value texts, be that film, biographies, painting, fiction, songs or poems.
I should like to thank followers of WRITER'S BLOCK for their kind and appreciative comments. I do hope you will subscribe and share and I look forward to conversations with many more wonderful guests when we return next week.

It is so very lovely to see your comments on this discussion with Richard Chamberlain. I am a professional singer who was fortunate enough to conduct a nostalgic discussion with him on four areas, his book, his painting, music and his back catalogue of marvellous films and TV series. Richard Chamberlain is a true gentleman, very kind and thankfully safe in Hawaii. Do add your thoughts, they are held for review but don't let that stop you. Keep safe and look after each other.

In 1964 I was 10 years old and madly in love with "Dr Kildare" 😍
My mom, who used to write to movie stars and request autographed photos, told me to write and request an autographed picture of Richard Chamberlain. I checked the mailbox every single day for weeks and told my mom her way of doing things just didn't work anymore 😕 Then One day, about 6 weeks later, I received my autographed photo in the form of a postcard from Mr Chamberlain 🤗🙌🙂💓💌 I must have slept with "you" under my pillow for months!
Plus, I had your 45 record "Hi-Lili, Hi-Lo" and I wore it out! I never got a chance to thank you, Mr ("Dr Kildare") Chamberlain, so I'm doing it now! THANK YOU❣
GOD BLESS YOU🙏

♥♥Thank you Mr.Richard Chamberlain :) i love Your Shogun Dr . Kildare :) :* nice voice great actor :) Anna from Poland
Bellissima intervista, Richard sempre puntuale e preciso quando ricorda gli eventi di tutta la sua vita e della sua carriera, che si leggono anche nella sua biografia ma sentirli dalla sua voce è molto emozionante. Ho trovato che Miriam O'Gara si dilungasse un po' troppo nei suoi interventi , dimenticando che lei intervistava ma che era Richard l'intervistato. Questa è naturalmente la mia impressione e ringrazio per averla postata. ❤❤❤❤
Thanks, great interview am so happy to see Richard is ok I love you Father Ralph
My pleasure Mona. Glad you enjoyed it.
I loved seeing this interview. Richard Chamberlain is the greatest actor that ever walked this earth.
A lovely talented man and also quite intelligent
Very. Thank you for listening.
Great interview. Its good to see that Richard is still in good health. I have read his book several times and have seen all his movies, series, tv appearances etc.
I am glad he is safe and is staying on his beloved Hawaii.
Kind regards from the Netherlands.
Thank you Lenny. And I got your message regarding which series James Mason appeared in, yes, it was season 5. Put on the spot I couldn't think whether it was 3 or 5. I'm glad you enjoyed the interview so much and please share it. Stay safe in these difficult times. Miriam.
My favorite and darling.👍🌼🌼 Magic actor. Richard 👍chamberlain 👍👍👍
Wow. Fascinating interview with a fascinating man. Still look great at 86. Stay well. Lovely singing at the end too. 👏
What a man!! ♥️
Just love this interview!! And love the man !!👍👍❤️
Best interview for 2020. Richard is so adorable. And maam i enjoyed your singing. What a lovely request from Richard. Stay well sir.
Ah, someone liked my singing!...Thank you and stay safe.x
What a wonderful interview!
I am Brasilian and a big Richard's fan. So happy seeing him so well.😃🌷
I' am very glad to hear that Richard Chamberlain is comparatively safe in Hawaii and not tarrying in crowded Los Angeles.
Excellent, cordial interview!
It happened that I have read "Shattered Love" some weeks ago. In fact there is a lot of wisdom and "grounding" to find in this trying times.
Stay healthy and live long and prosper!
Warm regards from good old Germany!
Great interview. It's so good to see that Richard is still in good health.
I'm glad he is safe and he is staying on his beloved Hawaii.
Kind regards from Münster Germany.
Adoro o grande RICHARD CHAMBERLAIN
Happy birthday to Richard Chamberlain. I love you!
Di questo magnifico uomo e attore amo tutto. Le sue interpretazioni in Centennial, Shogun,Amleto,Thorn Birds sono ineguagliabili, uniche, stupefacenti, meravigliose, fantastiche. Senza enumerare tutte le sue recitazioni. Un vero capolavoro d’arte. Mi sento di congratularmi ancora, anche se questa intervista l’ascoltai a suo tempo.George Richard Chamberlain rimarrà il re 👑 in tutto. Ovunque si trovi gli arrivino i saluti più cari, la riconoscenza più vera ❤. 🙏🙏🙏🇮🇹. Sereni momenti ancora, rispetto e vita degna per poter esprimere il suo “”io interiore””😘. Grazie Richard, mi hai resa felicissima quando hai detto:- L’Italia è un paradiso.🥰🙏🌹
His real voice is nearly the same than the german voice of synchronication. 🙂
I love his role as Pater Ralph the most!!! 🤗🤗
And we saw him, years ago, in Munich, as Professor Higgins. 👍👍👍
Tank u Miriam. I love him all my life
Огромное спасибо вам за встречу с Ричардом . люблю его.. крепкого здоровья ему и много радости. ❤️❤️😍😍❤️❤️😍😍❤️❤️ Казахстан

So happy to see him. He's so very talented, acting, singing, and wonderful art as well.
I had the pleasure of meeting Richard several years ago when he performed in a play in Massachusetts and he was so personable.
He autographed a poster from his tv show Island Son. I am now almost 68 and he still makes mark flutter 👍♥️👍. Martin was driving the car on their way out between performances, they both gave me a big smile and Richard even remembered my name! I was amazed. I think I had to be the first person to meet him. How he remembered my name after signing autographs for those in line........!!!! When I found out he would be leaving via the side door...my fiance was left behind..... but caught up with me in time to take photos!👍🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂. So happy to come across your excellent interview!!!!!!! Many thanks!
Maddy, what a fabulous story to be able to tell. Island Son meant a great deal to both Richard and his partner Martin, who is himself a wonderful actor, singer and screen writer, producer and director (the works!) and who was heavily involved in the production of Island Son. Richard talks at some length about the project in his memoir Shattered Love - so I can only imagine the delight that day, at someone presenting a poster of Island Son. It's no wonder he remembered your name. Thank you for listening. Miriam O'Gara, WRITER'S BLOCK.
@@writersblockmemoirs I just moved, and the poster and book were a TOP PRIORITY with items to be moved!!!!!!
Great interview, great actor, was wondering where he was at during covid ! Lucky him to be safe in Hawaii!
Found monsieur Chamberlain’s « Shattered Love » quite haphazardly during covid times and was fascinated by this man’s journey to wellness and love, something we can all relate to...more than acting if you’re not an actor! Could have spent quite a few hours discussing parts of the book and the philosophy behind the journey ! You are very lucky Miriam to have had one hour with the man!
Bonjour Lucie. Richard Chamberlain était gentil et charmant et vous avez raison, j'ai eu beaucoup de chance d'avoir eu une heure de son temps. Protégez-vous. Miriamx
@@writersblockmemoirs Merci de cette réponse en français! Vous êtes une des rares personnes à avoir interviewé Richard Chamberlain sur autre chose que son métier d'acteur.
Ce qui le rend intéressant c'est selon moi, surtout son parcours personnel et ses peintures...je trouve que peu d'acteurs/actrices ont le courage de se livrer publiquement avec autant d'honnêteté, surtout dans un milieu aussi "ephémère et artificiel"!
Une très bonne idée votre Writers block! Stay safe...Lucie😊
@@luciebenoit6890 Oui, j'ai fait de gros efforts pour intégrer tous ses autres talents dans cette interview. Merci pour tes aimables paroles Lucie
Lovely interview that was great. Richard chamberlain great actor. I always thought The Thornbirds it is such a beautiful story. I only watched the missing years just recently as i had never seen it. It's so easy to love the story. Love your singing by the way,may the show go on!!!
Perhaps the most beautiful man -inside and out. He has aged well. I didn’t know he moved back to HI
A nice surprise as this popped up on my auto feed! Love Richard for so many years in the many series! Great interview!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks, great interview and happy to see Richard Chamberlain is in good shape. A few weeks ago I read Shattered Love. What a great read. I enjoyed the company. By accident I came across the book while surfing on RUclips during the corona lockdown. Stay safe and happy thoughts from Copenhagen, Denmark.
Great to see and listen to Richard as recent as this. The thorn birds remains to be the most fascinating and sad love story for me. Stay well all of you ♥️ from South Korea
Well said! Thank you for watching from South Korea. Richard Chamberlain did his military service there.
Thank you so much Miriam for post this interview . I knew Richard lately when I watched the [The thorn birds] . I read the novels when I was teenager and very fond of it.
Now I’m a big fan of Richard, I watched the others film which he acted and also read the [Shattered Love].
He is a great man had a fate similar to the Father Ralph though, but I’m so glad to have a chance to see him now.
He is still a gentle modest person!
I’m not good at English so I cannot describe what I want to say.
Thank you again and wishing you will give us the latest news about Richard the fabulous man!
Thank you Sarah. Well done. Thank you for your kind message and your English was just great.x
Miriam, thank you so very much for this wonderful interview with Mr. Chamberlain. I am so glad to hear that he is well and living in Hawaii during our Covid crisis. What a wonderful actor, writer, singer, and painter!! When in my car these days I am listening to two people...Richard Chamberlain and kd lang. Beautiful soothing voices!!! It was very interesting listening to the conversation about some of his paintings too. A few years ago I decided to order every Richard Chamberlain dvd that I could find and watch his movies. There were so many!! Some I wasn't aware of. He sheepishly talks about his voice. I think he has the most beautiful voice. I've even counted how long he holds some of his notes/words in certain songs. This interview has been great. Thank you so much for this interview!!!! I think I will go and watch The Thorn Birds!!!
I'm so glad to listen again Richard and to know he is save. I hope he continues keeping well
Beauiful Interview and book too.
my favourite series is CENTENNIAL so real love the scenery
Eterno padre Ralph 😍😍😍
Wow just finished reading this book last night...wonderful read...very wise
It is one to keep,isn't it? He is a very wise man indeed. Stay safe and thank you for watching. Miriamx
With one day delay, happy birthday from Belgium to you Mister Chamberlain! Please continue to enjoy life! You're in great shape and still interesting to listen to. Thank you for all the great moments you make me live in movies or series. I hope I can buy your book Shattered love when it's available again.
Eternamente Bello. Eternamente talentoso.. LO AMO!!!!!
Grazie. Richard Chamberlain è davvero così talentuoso con molti anni di film e cameo televisivi che lo aspettano solo una volta che COVID ha finito. Miriamx
Bellissimo finalmente rivederlo è il mio attore americano preferito è sempre lo stesso allegro ,sorridente solare i love forever 😍😍💖💖
@@nicolaiadantone4178
Quindi molto vero. Grazie per i vostri commenti. Rimanga sicuro. Miriam.
@@writersblockmemoirs great interview. YOU are WONDERFUL Singer MIRIAM 👏👏👏👏
An amazing person, an outstanding рersonality! It's a pity that Richard has never been to Russia and seen the beauty of our nature. This would inspire him to write new paintings. There are a lot of fans of his talant in our country. Playing Tchaikovsky and
Chekhov, he unwittingly came into contact with Russiann classics and Russian culture. I will always admire his unparalleled skill. After all self-creation is the main skill of any person and when he performs the work for which he was born, he is magnificent.
You got it in one my friend. As you say 'Unparalleled skill.' x
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤postovanje❤
Aunque él tiene la misma edad de mi papá, él fue uno de mis amores platónicos, cuando supe que es gay que desilusión, aún así lo sigo admirando como actor y como persona,creo que fue una persona muy discreta,nunca supe de un escándalo protoganizado por él,eres fabuloso Richard Chamberlain.
. I found this great interview day after you posted, and it is a delight to say the least. So glad I got to know the thoughtful,talented intelligent, gracious person he is, so much more than what one sees on screen (which is always a treat). I am also going through your other videos. Thank you and stay well.
Totally agree with all of the above and thank you so much for watching. Miriam.
Wow, I think that it's amazing you were able to interview Richard Chamberlain! Both of my parents love watching his movies and enjoyed viewing them during the pandemic this summer as a virtual vacation. How did you contact him?
Dear Miriam, thank you a lot for this exciting and intellectual interview!
Dear Richard, the best wishes on your special day!!! I admire you, and I adore your Casanova ☺. It's a strong word, but you are a genius: a great gift but also a big challenge. I doubt you will see it, but this is my haiku for you (as reflections on your haikus and inspired by them):
Chronos is cruel,
But your so beauteous soul,
Is able to win.
Apologies. I haven't checked into the comments in a while, but you are so right Liudmila. He is a genius. Thank you for your very kind words. Miriam O'Gara.
@@writersblockmemoirs I admit that this is already more than genius, but some bias towards holiness. A few days ago, looking at the photo with the fountain of St. Francis (Vigevano, Italy), I thought that Richard Chamberlain reminds me of St. Francis of Assisi in some way. The next day, leafing through his book (which finally arrived this week), I came across one episode. It's on page 158 where he describes the story with his dog Jesse. I do not know what I was more amazed at - the personality of Richard C. or my guess. To understand me better, (maybe) you need to read the legend of St. Francis and the wolf, and also this fragment from the book "Shattered love". Thank you for your kind answer, Miriam!
❤❤❤
Fx is rebooting the Shogun series. I hope they find a role for Richard somewhere in the show. That would be so wonderful
She doesn't let him talk very much.
👏👏👏👍👌🌞🌞👌👏👏👏
Miriam....just came across this book/album called "Artist Textile 1940-1976"(www.bookdepository.com/Artists-Textiles-1940-1976-Geoff-Rayner/9781851496297) in which "a Richard Chamberlain" is a co-author...I know you've said you researched R.Chamberlain's work...do you know if he is the co-author? There may be another R.Chamberlain...don't know... but trying to find out because I think his artistic work is quite interesting...tks..
I think so.
