Shattered Love: A Memoir by Richard Chamberlain. From his breakout role in "Dr. Kildare", through more than four decades of unforgettable performances on television and in film, Richard Chamberlain has epitomized the ideal leading man. Strong and handsome, sophisticated yet kindly, his public persona has drawn fans of all ages. But despite his worldwide acclaim in "The Thorn Birds" and "Shogun" two of the most successful miniseries of all time, the actor himself has never led a life of easy confidence. Even at the height of his fame he lived in constant fear that the 'real' Richard would one day be discovered and that the love he had gained from fans, family, and friends would be ripped away. In Shattered Love: A Memoir, Richard Chamberlain recounts his fascinating journey as an impressionable boy growing up in postwar California who stumbled into the Hollywood of big studios, big money, and big personas. Through long days on the set and glittering evenings on the town with Joan Crawford, Princess Margaret, Elizabeth Taylor, and a cast of other colorful characters, Chamberlain gamely and tirelessly played his Golden Boy role. As time passed, however, he longed to reconcile his deepest self with his public persona, including his sexual orientation, a secret he has guarded until now. With candor, honesty, and wit, Shattered Love: A Memoir captures Chamberlain's poignant struggle to come to terms with the truths in his life, from his tumultuous relationship with his troubled father to his lifelong quest to find spiritual truth in everyday life. Warm, touching, and brave, Shattered Love: A Memoir draws on a lifetime of stories and on lessons learned from some of the most inspiring spiritual teachers of our time, sharing with readers the author's own journey from desperate suppression to a life lived with an open heart.

Shattered Love: A Memoir by Richard Chamberlain. AKA George Richard Chamberlain. Gender: Male Race or Ethnicity: White Sexual orientation: Gay [1] Occupation: Actor. Nationality: United States Executive summary: Dr. Kildare and Shogun. Military service: US Army (Korean War, discharged 1959) Dashing leading man, star of the small screen and multiple mini-series. Now mostly retired from acting, resides in Hawaii. Father: Charles Chamberlain Mother: Elsa Boyfriend: Martin Rabbett (actor/etc, together 27 years) TELEVISION Dr. Kildare Dr. James Kildare (1961-66) Island Son Dr. Daniel Kulani (1989-90) Author of books: Shattered Love ( 2003 , memoir) ISBN 13: 9780060087449. Early in his career, shortly after rising to fame as television's Dr. James Kildare, Richard Chamberlain took on the role of Hamlet on the English stage. The play contained a lesson the actor has remembered throughout his life: "To thine own self be true." But for Chamberlain these were not always easy words to live by. Even as he won the adoration of millions of fans, this handsome, charming, debonair leading man seriously questioned his own self–worth, living a life haunted by personal insecurity despite decades of immense popular success in memorable roles in Dr. Kildare, The Thorn Birds, Shogun, and other television dramas. Finally, with the help of friends and guidance from spiritual teachers, including Krishnamurti, Chamberlain began the sometimes painful but deeply rewarding process of reconciling his deepest self with his public persona. Now, in Shattered Love, he poignantly recounts his lifelong struggle to find happiness. Tracing a fascinating path through his meteoric rise to success, he chronicles his struggle to come to terms with his own imperfections, his growing desire to be honest about his sexual orientation, and his yearning to live with an open heart. And along the way he imparts the lessons he has learned about overcoming our own self–imposed obstacles to happiness: the importance of listening to our own instincts instead of listening only to others, not demanding the impossible of ourselves, and allowing ourselves to explore negative feelings in order to move forward. "synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title. Richard Chamberlain has starred in such classics as Dr. Kildare , The Thorn Birds , and Shogun and has received rave reviews for his theatrical turns in Hamlet , Cyrano de Bergerac , and My Fair Lady , as well as numerous other plays and films. Chamberlain lives in Hawaii, where he continues to act and pursue his passion for painting. From Publishers Weekly : Despite its fevered title, this is a courtly, ruminative life's accounting by the TV miniseries star and 1960s heartthrob. It relates Chamberlain's journey toward self-awareness and growoing capacity for love, through the scrim of an actor's career. Although the author, who's now 69, discusses his main television, movie and stage efforts, he dishes no dirt about his colleagues or directors. Raymond Massey, Chamberlain's Dr. Kildare co-star, was like a second father to him. The Thorn Birds' co-star Barbara Stanwyck was prepared down to her gestures when she hit the set. The Three Musketeers's bombshell Raquel Welch was beloved by all. As Chamberlain revisits his acting credits, he concentrates on what he gained from them as an artist, such as how he fought for the lead in Shogun or broke through the constraints of Rex Harrison's performance to carve his own characterization of Henry Higgins in a stage revival of My Fair Lady. Throughout, he centers his account on how he evolved as a spiritual being. He writes of his spiritual counselors, who showed him how to gain strength through dissociation and open his heart to forgive and love others, particularly his alcoholic father. He speaks intermittently about his homosexuality, but considers it a nonissue, rather than a political passion. His pantheistic theology is heartfelt, but might seem unfounded to orthodox believers. The book is most valuable as a portrait of a man who has made peace with his past. B&w photo insert not seen by PW. Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information, Inc. Richard Chamberlain, who turns 87 today, was closeted gay man at peak of his fame – but no more! Hard to believe but Richard Chamberlain, the great star of The Thorn Birds, Shogun and Dr. Kildare, turns 87 today. He was pretty much off my radar as a kid until I saw a scene in Thorn Birds where he was dancing (it was the same party where Barbara Stanwyck kissed him on the lips then died) and he was just so HOT! From then on, I watched everything he ever did. He came out as a gay man in 2003 and wrote about it in his memoir Shattered Love : “When I grew up, being gay, being a sissy or anything like that was verboten. I disliked myself intensely and feared this part of myself intensely and had to hide it and became “Perfect Richard, All-American Boy” as a place to hide.” He continued to be busy in roles both straight and gay – including in recent years playing Felicity Huffman’s gay stepfather on Desperate Housewives and Uncle Saul’s love interest on Brothers & Sisters . Later films include Forbidden Love, The Perfect Family and I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry . Comments. (All comments are reviewed before being published, and I review submissions several times per day.) One Remark. In 1962ish, I lost my wallet at school. At the lost and found, it was about to be handed to me, until a snooty bitch stopped the woman, asking me who my favorite actor was. She wanted me to ‘prove’ that it was My wallet, by the Photograph in it. I said, ‘Richard Chamberlain’ and was given my wallet….the one that Came With That Picture In It! Many years later….I was working in The Biz, walked onto a stage at Warner Bros Studio to visit my cousin…not 10 feet away from me sat Barbara Stanwyck, chatting with someone! It was a set of Thornbirds!! I like my life! RICHARD CHAMBERLAIN, ACTOR. This very personal book reveals a lot about you. Why now? I'm older now [69] and the older you get, the more you think about life. [When I started to write] I wrote about life and then I was encouraged on all fronts to make it more about my personal life. You publicly come out as gay. Again, why now? It really was not wise until now. I've been playing all these leading men roles and wasn't in a position to reveal it. Is Hollywood that homophobic? I think Hollywood has a lot of the ignorance and prejudice of many parts of this country. You can say you're straight and that doesn't say anything about you. It doesn't say you're smart or dumb, good or bad. And you can say you're gay and it says almost nothing about you, whether you're a saint or a murderer. but people have a lot of ideas about who you are [if you're gay]. When I was growing up, to be a sissy, even remotely, well, you might as well have been dead. Ever feel guilty playing leading men when it's not who you are? Guilt? Not in the tiniest bit. You just do it, play the role.

  • GSC Films: S-Z
    GSC Films: S-Z Saboteur 1942 Alfred Hitchcock 3.0 Robert Cummings, Patricia Lane as not so charismatic love interest, Otto Kruger as rather dull villain (although something of prefigure of James Mason’s very suave villain in ‘NNW’), Norman Lloyd who makes impression as rather melancholy saboteur, especially when he is hanging by his sleeve in Statue of Liberty sequence. One of lesser Hitchcock products, done on loan out from Selznick for Universal. Suffers from lackluster cast (Cummings does not have acting weight to make us care for his character or to make us believe that he is going to all that trouble to find the real saboteur), and an often inconsistent story line that provides opportunity for interesting set pieces – the circus freaks, the high society fund-raising dance; and of course the final famous Statue of Liberty sequence (vertigo impression with the two characters perched high on the finger of the statue, the suspense generated by the slow tearing of the sleeve seam, and the scary fall when the sleeve tears off – Lloyd rotating slowly and screaming as he recedes from Cummings’ view). Many scenes are obviously done on the cheap – anything with the trucks, the home of Kruger, riding a taxi through New York. Some of the scenes are very flat – the kindly blind hermit (riff on the hermit in ‘Frankenstein?’), Kruger’s affection for his grandchild around the swimming pool in his Highway 395 ranch home, the meeting with the bad guys in the Soda City scene next to Hoover Dam. The encounter with the circus freaks (Siamese twins who don’t get along, the bearded lady whose beard is in curlers, the militaristic midget who wants to turn the couple in, etc.) is amusing and piquant (perhaps the scene was written by Dorothy Parker?), but it doesn’t seem to relate to anything.

  • From Marcus Welby, M.D. to the Resident: the Changing Portrayal of Physicians in Tv Medical Dramas
    RMC Original JMM ISSN electrónico: 1885-5210 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.14201/rmc202016287102 FROM MARCUS WELBY, M.D. TO THE RESIDENT: THE CHANGING PORTRAYAL OF PHYSICIANS IN TV MEDICAL DRAMAS Desde Marcus Welby, M.D. hasta The resident: los cambios en las representaciones de los médicos en las series de televisión Irene CAMBRA-BADII1; Elena GUARDIOLA2; Josep-E. BAÑOS2 1Cátedra de Bioética. Universitat de Vic – Universitat Central de Catalunya.2 Facultad de Medicina. Universitat de Vic – Universitat Central de Catalunya (Spain). e-mail: [email protected] Fecha de recepción: 9 July 2019 Fecha de aceptación: 5 September 2019 Fecha del Avance On-Line: Fecha de publicación: 1 June 2020 Summary Over the years, the way medical dramas represent health professionals has changed. When the first medical dramas were broadcasted, the main characters were good, peaceful, intelligent, competent, empathic, and successful physicians. One of the most famous, even outside the US, was Marcus Welby M.D. (1969-1976) of David Victor –which this year marks 50 years since its first emission. This depiction began to change in the mid-1990s. While maintaining the over positive image of medical doctors, TV series started to put more emphasis on their negative characteristics and difficulties in their interpersonal relationships, such asER (TV) by Michael Crichton (United States) and House MD (TV) by David Shore (United States). In these series, physicians were portrayed as arrogant, greedy, and adulterous, and their diagnostic and therapeutic errors were exposed. The last two series are The Good Doctor (TV) by David Shore (United States), with a resident of surgery with autism and Savant syndrome, and The Resident (TV) by Amy Holden Jones, Hayley Schore and Roshan Sethi (United States), where serious institutional problems appear.

Washburn The line between news and entertainment on television grows more blurry every day. Heated debates over what is news and what is entertainment pepper local, national, and cable newsrooms. Cable channels devoted entirely to entertainment and a plethora of syndicated, half-hour entertainment news magazines air nightly. It was not always so. When “Entertainment Tonight” premiered in 1981, the first daily half-hour syndicated news program, no one thought it would survive. No one believed there was enough celebrity and Hollywood news to fill a daily half-hour, much less interest an audience. Still, “ET” set out to become the glitzy, glamorous newscast of record for the entertainment industry and twenty-seven years later is still going strong.
