Richard Chamberlin GAY??? No, seriously, I heard that news about 25 years ago. Did he think he was kidding anybody? I used to laugh at all the old ladys in the office I used to work in when the made for TV movie "The Thornbirds" was fist shown 20 years ago. When I told them their lover-boy was gay, they blew a gasket and wouldn't believe me. NOW I STAND VICTORIOUS, and VINDICATED!! I love to destroy "false idols".

Yeah, next thing you know, we'll be hearing such vicious rumors about Jim Nabors, Raymond Burr or even Robert Reed. My late father worked in Hollywood in the early-mid 1960s, and it was no secret back then about any of the guys mentioned in this thread (Rock, Chamberlain, Reed, etc.) - it just came as a bit of a surprise to middle America when it finally came out.
