Richard Chamberlain. I was a big fan of his years ago but you never hear about him anymore.

    When Richard came out of the closet a few years back it was the last I heard. He has an impressive work life to say the least.

    I didn't realize he had such an impressive resume. I loved him in Dr. Kildare. Yes, I remember when you came out some years ago. I guess he is retired now.

    I saw him on stage in Minneapolis, in My Fair Lady. Terrific. Dottie

    I loved him in the Thorn Birds, I was very disappointed to find out he's gay.

    I loved the Thorn Birds as well.

    He's had some plastic surgery done, and looks terrible when I last saw him.

    Maybe we should start a thread on horrible plastic surgeries!
