Richard Chamberlain, renowned for his iconic roles in TV dramas and films, has passed away at 90. The Emmy-nominated actor, famed for his work in "Dr. Kildare" and "Shogun," left a lasting legacy in the entertainment industry.
Richard Chamberlain, the Emmy-nominated actor known for his roles in "Dr. Kildare," "Shogun," and "The Thorn Birds," has passed away at 90 from complications following a stroke. Chamberlain became a heartthrob in the 1960s with his portrayal of Dr. James Kildare and later earned the title "king of the mini-series" for his performances in 1980s TV dramas. He was nominated for four Emmys throughout his career.
Chamberlain also had a successful stage career, playing roles like Professor Henry Higgins in "My Fair Lady" and Captain von Trapp in "The Sound of Music." He was the original Jason Bourne in the 1988 mini-series "The Bourne Identity." Despite his romantic roles, Chamberlain did not publicly acknowledge his sexuality until he was 68, fearing it would harm his career. His coming-out in his 2003 memoir was a relief, and he found acceptance from his fans.
Born in Los Angeles in 1934, Chamberlain studied acting after initially aspiring to be an artist. He served in the U.S. Army before launching his acting career, which spanned television, film, and theatre. In his later years, Chamberlain appeared in shows like "Brothers & Sisters" and "Desperate Housewives" and also released a collection of haiku poetry. He lived in Hawaii for many years and had a long relationship with actor Martin Rabbett.
