Richard Chamberlain, TV heartthrob and 'king of the miniseries,' dies at 90 [View all]
The cause was complications from a stroke, said his publicist, Harlan Boll.
Blue-eyed and porcelain-faced, and with an acting style that veered from earnest to wooden, Mr. Chamberlain was rarely a critical favorite in his prime. People magazine once summed up his reputation as an actor: “pretty — and passionless.”
Over the years, he tried to correct that impression by tackling Hamlet and other Shakespearean parts on the English stage, growing a beard and wielding a samurai sword for “Shogun” (1980), and playing a hunky but tormented Catholic priest wrestling with illicit love in “The Thorn Birds” (1983), one of the most-watched miniseries of all time.
