Richard Chamberlain, TV heartthrob and 'king of the miniseries,' dies at 90

[no_hypocrisy]

The cause was complications from a stroke, said his publicist, Harlan Boll.

Blue-eyed and porcelain-faced, and with an acting style that veered from earnest to wooden, Mr. Chamberlain was rarely a critical favorite in his prime. People magazine once summed up his reputation as an actor: “pretty — and passionless.”

Over the years, he tried to correct that impression by tackling Hamlet and other Shakespearean parts on the English stage, growing a beard and wielding a samurai sword for “Shogun” (1980), and playing a hunky but tormented Catholic priest wrestling with illicit love in “The Thorn Birds” (1983), one of the most-watched miniseries of all time.

Rest in Peace, Sir.

2. Shogun. He was so good. And the Three/Four Musketeers. He was so much more than Dr Kildare.

A fine mini-series.

7. The best screen Aramis ever.

The Four Friends narrowly escape being poisoned by a “gift” of wine sent by Milady DeWinter. One of Rochefort’s henchmen is done in first, alerting the Musketeers.

Aramis cautiously sniffs the poisoned bottle and remarks “I always had my doubts about the Anjou ‘22…”

9. I was so into that love story but my parents made me come home

when I was watching it at a friend's house because it was on too late. I never did see the end of it.
