  12. RIP #RichardChamberlain - the handsome leading man who exuded intelligence and empathy as Dr. Kildare and courage and bravery in other roles. A standout actor, singer and personality, he was among the most talented and successful performers of his generation.

  13. Richard Chamberlain on coming out at age 68:

    "It was as if an angel had put her hand on my head...and said, 'It's over. All that negative stuff is over.'"

  14. @edgeofeurope #RichardChamberlain - Triest verhaal, kwam dertig jaar te laat uit de kast als homo (pas in 2003), vond dat zijn dubbelleven erbij hoorde als 'part of the show', het zoveelste slachtoffer van #homofobie

  15. “Richard Chamberlain, hero of Dr Kildare and ‘king of the miniseries’, dies aged 90.” Sad but perhaps we’ll get the wonderful Slipper and the Rose back on telly in his honour. #RichardChamberlain #TheSlipperAndTheRose

  16. Im damaligen Alter ekannte ich die Klischees in der Serie nicht. Ich verband mich unschuldig mit #RichardChamberlains Figur John, identifizierte mich zugleich mit Mariko. Ich hatte es natürlich auf Deutsch gesehen, weshalb die Szenen heute noch viel fremder wirken auf mich. Wie war ich mit John zusammen bestürzt, als klar wurde, er hat die Nacht nicht mit Mariko verbracht: Sie schickte eine andere in ihren Gewändern mit ihrem Parfum. Sie wollte ihn glücklich machen. 🥲

  18. King Solomon’s Mines (1985) is an unfaithful but hugely enjoyable adaptation of H. Rider Haggard's classic lost world tale. It looks great, Richard Chamberlain is a one hero, Sharon Stone is cure and adorable. J. Lee Thompson directs with style and wit. A great beer and popcorn movie.

  19. #Books #Shogun

    I bought & read the earlier paperback version of the book Shogun (1975) written by #JamesClavell even before the 1st mini-series adaptation starring #RichardChamberlain aired on TV in 1980.

    I also bought & read the 3 other books in Clavell's Asian Saga series, including #TaiPan & #KingRat (both made into so-so movies) & #NobelHouse (also made into a mini-series).

    So, after watching the new mini-series of Shogun that just aired on FX/Hulu, I decided to buy the book again.

    They were asking ridiculous prices for the 1975 edition so I bought a newly released version for less.

    I'd forgotten how BIG a book it was (1123 pages in the version that I just received) which is quite daunting but I'll tackle it in small bites.

    I just read the prologue (setting up Blackthorne's arrival in Japan) & a chapter the end of the book (just after Mariko's death) & they suggest that the current mini-series was written/filmed much closer to the way the book was written, which (as Martha says) "is a good thing."
