Always liked him but never watched the Thornbirds.
“...never watched the Thornbirds”
It’s pretty much a chick flick, but it’s very good and he’s great in it. Of course, many might find the story offensive, but even though I would generally be one of those people I did not. Very well played by both Chamberlain and Rachel Ward.
RIP Richard Chamberlain!
We watched Dr. Kildare, and the Ben Casey tv series with Vince Edwards. They ran for the same number of years on different networks. I was in high school at the time. They even began selling women's cotton blouses designed like the shirts both stars wore on the shows. They came in different colors besides white. I had one or two.
I never watched the Shogun series with Chamberlain or The Thorn Birds, but I did watch some of his movies, like The Count of Monte Cristo, The Man in the Iron Mask, and the three Musketeers movies he played Aramis in. I watched the new Shogun series and thought it was fabulous. A second and third season have been confirmed.
