R.I.P. Richard Chamerlain

Growing up, he was one of my favourite actors for being very elegant and dashing, especially in the musical The Sleeper And The Rose as the prince.

I go waaay back to remembering him as Dr. Kildare.
I loved him in Shogun (crushed on him big time) and The Thorn Birds. RIP

As a young girl I watched him in Dr. Kildare. Never watched Shogun or The Thorn Birds.

I read his memoir Shattered Love: A Memoir a few years ago. A worthwhile read for fans.

Oh no!
He was a legend

I loved him too. Dr. Kildare, Shogun, loved both of them. I didn't know he had died and am sorry to hear it.

The Thorn Birds was an all time favorite. Wonderful actor and he was blessed with a long life. RIP

 

[missy]

Loved watching him in all his movies.
He was a true artist.
RIP Mr Chamberlain

I have no words, except to say that I don’t usually shed tears over the passing of actors, but I did today.

I LOVED The Thorn Birds

 

[jaysonsmom]

He was such a great actor! And I had the biggest crush on him in Thorn Birds! RIP.

 

[stracci2000]

I loved him in any role, but John Blackthorn was my favorite.

A very dashing Aramis!

As the Prince in The Slipper And The Rose

DOH - it is 'Slipper' as in glass slipper, and not Sleeper!!!

He was so lovely. I am so lucky to have met him, however briefly (okay, at a book signing, but still.)

Looking at that photo again - it is a dreadful wig!
