As a fan of '80's miniseries, including "The Thorn Birds," I am devastated by this news.  Richard Chamberlain was an actor whose mere presence lent a certain dignity (for lack of a better word) to what might otherwise be described as popcorn entertainment.  No offense to Matt Damon or to his fans, but to me, Mr. Chamberlain was, is and always will be THE Jason Bourne.  Truly a gifted soul.  May he RIP.

This one hurts; he's always been my prince from The Slipper and the Rose, but his work was always outstanding. R.I.P. good sir.

Know him mostly as the bad guy in The Towering Inferno.

He also dated Wesley Eure while he was on Days as Mike

RIP

My first childhood crush beginning when he was on Dr. Kildare.  I even had one of his records, probably the first one I ever had.  He's been a favorite ever since.  Was lucky enough to see him on stage in "My Fair Lady" in the 90s.

I thought it was more than just dating. Wesley Eure, I mean.

Also about Richard Chamberlin, RIP, loved him in Shogun, also loved him in The Thornbirds & maybe even in a sequel to it. In a way he created mini-series for me.
