Richard Chamberlain passed away at 90

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c3v9xzw09z0o

"Richard Chamberlain, the actor best known for his role in the 1960s medical drama Dr Kildare and leading role in Shogun, has died aged 90, his publicist has confirmed to the BBC. Chamberlain earned the title "king of the mini-series" for his leading roles in Shogun and The Thorn Birds. He died late on Saturday night local time (10:15 GMT Sunday) in Waimanalo, Hawaii, after suffering complications from a stroke, his publicist Harlan Boll confirmed - just hours before he would have turned 91."

I used to watch the Thorn Birds back in the 80's.



RIP

R.I.P. Richard was 'big time' when I was young. I remember him in "Shogun" which I thought was pretty good.
