Post 450 ALL THE WINTERS THAT HAVE BEEN
For those who may not be aware of it, Richards movie: ALL THE WINTERS THAT HAVE BEEN is now available on DVD to all of us in region 1 from Amazon.com as well as on Ebay. You might see if you can pick it up through your local video store. I ordered mine through Amazon.com. I didn't feel brave enough to wade through the holiday shoppers this year. Nora Jean

Post 448 Happy Thanksgiving
To Richard Chamberlain; Martin Rabbett and all fans around the world,
A very happy and peaceful Thanksgiving or belated Thanksgiving wish since this will probably post after the GREAT GOBBLE GOBBLE DAY-Hopefully; most of us didn't pass out from too much turkey, dressing and gravy, pumpkin pie or a little wine over the holiday and look forward to a very blissful Christmas and 2007 season~~~Don't forget the EGG NOG!
It has been a while for me on the message board since I have been engrossed in the Halloween and harvest season. Fall is the best time of the year for me and one of the fastest. There is nothing better than a crisp, cool day.
I want to take this time to extend a special thanks to Elizabeth Scott who was gracious enough to send me a signed photo from Richard while he was doing the grand opening of the Carlton Hotel/Kinsale, Cork, Ireland; along with a brochure from the hotel. This was a beautiful picture of him and Rachel Ward on the beach from The Thorn Birds. I really wish I could have been there; but as usual, budget, leave and fear of flying on the big bird have limited me. One day though; I will lose my inhibitions as far as traveling go and explore all the good things this world has to offer. Las Vegas; San Francisco and Hawaii of course are places I must see; and unless I plan on doing the cross country tour like Chevy Chase; I need to break in my training wings soon!
I recently had the opportunity to see The Man in The Iron Mask and All The Winters That Have Been-thanks to Judy Crocker. I continue to be impressed by Richard Chamberlain and all that he is. He is truly a warm and compelling person/actor. It inspires me to view more of his collection and reminds me of so much more I need to see. I recently caught the episode of Will and Grace from 2005 where RC portrayed Clyde. I got a big kick out of Richard's performance and was glad I continually check the find button on the tv remote for upcoming showings of RC!
A heartfeld word of encouragement to Alexander Wolf. Stay strong and know that people do care and are praying for you over this difficult time.
As always before I sign off to everyone-CHEERIO and remember to make some NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS!
Take care, Michele Ann Nutwell, Waldorf, Maryland USA

Post 446 Alexander Wolf's Message Regarding Richard
Dear Mr. Wolf..........I was very touched reading your poignant message regarding your encounter with Richard Chamberlain over 30 years ago. I was especially moved because I recently lost my youngest brother to the very same cancer your wife is fighting. (If it is any help at all, my brother was given only six months to live, and actually prospered for another three years with this vicious cancer, so maybe your wife will rally.....I think doctors feel they need to prepare patients and their families for the worse case scenario, but many times, cancer patients survive for years after a terminal cancer diagnosis.)
Thank you so much for sharing your story about serving Richard lunch so many years ago when he was filming in your city. Your positive impressions of the man, Richard Chamberlain, are very similar to the impressions of so many who have been lucky enough to personally interact with him through the years. While I certainly enjoy a wide variety of Richard's past work as an actor, it is really his class, grace, and warmth as a person that I have found so attractive and endearing. As you said, you have met your share of actors who are "horses #####," and the kindness and humility that Richard exhibits, is really the exception, rather then the rule, in Hollywood.
If you were ever interested in actually getting a letter to Richard, I know Darren, the webmaster of this site, has an address that he has provided to many of Richard's fans. I know this address is accurate, as I sent a letter to Richard at this address last summer, and was richly rewarded for it when I got a lovely, handwritten thank- you note back from him.
I want to thank you again for taking the time to post your memories of your wonderful encounter with Richard Chamberlain, especially during your most difficult days. I extend to you and your wife, my sincere and heartfelt best wishes......Warmly, Polly Moreno

Post 445 BELLS and SLIPPER AND THE ROSE
This probably won't get to you but I'm drunk enough and in such dispair....that I don't care. I just thought that I needed to get this out there. I met you about 30 years ago, in Toronto. I was the waiter at the restaurant your Producer and crew brought you to, for lunch. I chatted and joked with you very normally and everyone at the table looked at me like I had 3 heads. It was quite laughable because when all the waitresses in the restaurant found out you were there, they came to me and asked me if they could put the salt on your table or the pepper, or the napkins etc. After lunch, you were the last one to leave and I complemented you for your performance and singing in "THE SLIPPER AND THE ROSE". I said, I was very impressed with your talent as a singer and you told me, how it did very well in the UK but not in America. I didn't tell you at the time that I was an aspiring actor with a relative reputation behind me, but now I am a Director/Screenwriter. All of this seem rather superfical now.......my wife of 22 years is dying of liver cancer, with (according to the doctors) has less than a year to live and I can't stop it! I am alone now at home for the first time in many years, because I had to leave her in a hospital overnight so they can start regulating her morphine. At a time like this, you realise how short and precious life is and I would just like to say from an actors' point of view, something I never said that day.
I was so impressed with you for leaving a steady pay check in "Dr. Kildare" to go to England to study Shakespeare. You took risks and by the Lord, you are without a doubt, the most personable person or actor I have ever met. And for those of you who are reading this, I mean this with all of my heart. And believe me when I say, I have met some real horse's spituts (actors).
Anyway, Richard if you ever read this, or I ever somehow survive what is coming....I hope one day, we will work together.
My love and Admiration Forever
Alexander Wolf

Post 444 Evergreen Charm
Dear Mr.Chamberlain, This is year 2006 nearly 40 years from when the "Thorn Birds" was first telecast in America. And today in a small town of a different country, across the continents it has still found a new fan. There is no denying the power of your charm, persona and acting. I read that it caused quite a scandal when it was released and making it more popular. But when I watched it recently it appealed to me for waht it really was, a truly touching and passionate love story. The Thorn Birds was my first ever "Richard Chamberlain" experience and let me tell you there no words to describe it. May god always bless you with happiness, health and peace.

Post 442 Earthquake in Hawaii
I heard on the news that Hawaii was struck by an Earthquake. It is my greatest hope and desire that Mr. Chamberlain's house came through with little damage. It seems like the Big Island of Hawaii took the brunt of the hit though quite a few houses in Honolulu were damaged.
Having been born and raised in California, I know quakes can be quite unsettling. Even in Arizona we can get tremors from ones that hit the Golden State. That happened a few years back and it is an eerie feeling having the earth move under your feet.
If any one knows how his home faired please let the rest of us know.
All the best to Richard and Martin.

Post 434 Richard Chamberlain- Creativity with Color
To Richard Chamberlain fans: Richard continues to amaze me with his indefinite spectrum of talent. As I am sure many of you have seen; Richard has dabbled once more in his experience as an artist. I was spellbound by the photos of his newest collection of artwork in the Painting Gallery section. His pictures are quite unique and soothing. As one can see; especially in a few of them, they express a high degree of eroticism. His boldness with color and expression of serenity in most of these pictures show; undoubtedly, that he finds Hawaiian life to be very tranquil and sensual. In my opinion; they state that "Solitude at times is productive to one's spiritual being and wellness." Richard Chamberlain has one of the most giving and intuitive souls I have ever seen. As the saying goes; there are strength in numbers. Richard has many strengths for just one number. He is a spectacular human being because his opens his heart and mind to himself and to others. After viewing his photographs; what a treasure it would be to possess a piece of this beautiful art and magic that Richard Chamberlain must have felt as he was drawing these creations from mind and body. Will he show these paintings at a galleria in anyone's vicinity? One could only appreciate more these works of art up close!!!! Cheerio! Michele Ann Nutwell

Thank Richard for the great part you played in the "The Thorn Birds". I just finished watching it and your character is within myself and will never go away. I fell in love with it as I fell in love with many of priests I had met in my life in Rome, without saying a word, keeping the joy of loving within my soul. You have resurrected feelings I thought were gone forever. They are beautiful and blessed.

Post 430 Rome Will Never Leave You-A+ +
To Richard Chamberlain fans: Just wanted to share some of my thoughts on the 3-part trilogy of "Rome Will Never Leave You" with Richard Chamberlain. I haven't seen a single episode of Dr. Kildare previously until Judy Crocker provided me with the 3-disc package. My boyfriend even enjoyed watching these episodes. He said, "It was interesting." It is very clear to me how Richard Chamberlain launched his career and put the women in a tailspin with this show in which he co-stars with Raymond Massey. Dr. Kildare was a classic and Richard Chamberlain had that charisma, sparkle and sophistication which he still possesses to this very day. That perfect smile and eyes say enough which is why no other individual could be considered "the king of the miniseries". Although this production is from the 1960's; the copy was extremely clear and is a magnificent addition to the Richard Chamberlain collection. Therefore; I would highly suggest obtaining these episodes if you haven't already. I haven't been able to see and hear RC sing at the same time until this show. A River Made To Drown In gave me a glimpse! Although people have sent me superb CDs with his various recordings; I have wanted to see him carry the melody with his lips. His voice definitely melts your heart and makes you wish you were right there beside him singing too. Francesca Paolini played by Daniela Bianchi did an excellent job using symbolism why acting on a balcony built into a living tree. An exhilarating and challenging life with Dr. Kildare should be the obvious choice. At the beginning of the show; Dr. Gillespie discusses with Dr. Kildare how he would come to learn about Italian culture and nobility. Clearly this comes with a major sacrifice as the show will prove through the 3-part drama! Cheerio! Michele Nutwell

Post 429 *** THE KING AND I *** REVIEWS ARE IN ***
The first reviews are in for The King and I. John Berger gave a wonderful review - calling "what could have been a long hike through familiar territory ... a return to a wondrous Kingdom." He gave special praise to Richard for "his distinct shadings to several pivotal moments, capturing every lyrical nuance of the Song of The King and Shall We dance." When Richard and Anna dance ... and he touches her for the first time ... Berger says "the scene not only soars, but it reaches the Heavens." Wow!! That pretty much says it all!! From Kildare to King Mongkut ... Richard Chamberlain has managed to enchant his audiences with his sensationally smooth dance moves, and magnetic presence. It has always been said, that Richard conducts his voice as if it were an orchestra of verse. Congratulations to Martin Rabbett and Richard Chamberlain for their magnificent stage production of a well-loved musical ... The King and I. It sounds like they were more than able to hold thier audiences in thrall ... and it is regretable that we ALL couldn't be there to touch the heavens with them. Judy Crocker

Post 428 Richard's 1971 Triumph Stag motor car
I've repeatedly tried to contact Richard (last time via the BBC after the Hustle programme) but have had no reply. I own Richard's 1971 Triumph Stag. It formed the center peice of our club display at the London International Classic Car show at Alexandra Palace in March this year. Several U.K. classic car magazine's would like to do a feature on the car. I would love to have some input from Richard - a photo with him and the car the next time he's in the U.K. would be fantastic, or even some stories of the time he owned it from 1972-1975. Richard, if you do get to read this, I would love you to get in touch. Many, many thanks.

Post 423 specific Richard Chamberlain movies
To Richard Chamberlain fans; Looking forward to the DVD release of Blackbeard!-widescreen The movie proved to be very suspenseful and entertaining. My only regrets were that Richard Chamberlain got smacked-That must have hurt! Then; afterwards; he didn't appear for the remainder of the movie. Pity! Second; Rachel Ward had a small part in the movie. She could have been cast as his righthand partner in New Providence in conspiracy with him with the pirates. We would have seen them together.
Nip Tuck and his upcoming movie Strength and Honor will be some of hopefully many new tv episodes and movies Richard will be making appearances in for us to enjoy.
Once again; it is truly commendable how RC continues to stay very active in tv; movies and theatrical performances. He isn't a person afraid of work or being worked. That in itself makes him an outstanding individual.
Being fairly new to the enormous RC collection many of you have obtained; I recently had the pleasure of seeing THE SLIPPER AND THE ROSE. Richard was absolutely breathtaking and definitely lives up to being a prince. He certainly has that special something surrounding him and it is contagious!
If anyone should have an original copy of THE NIGHT OF THE HUNTER OR WALLENBERG-A HERO'S STORY ~~~~~PLEASE LET ME KNOW BY SENDING AN E-MAIL TO ME. I heard from a friend/co-worker; Stephanie; that Night of the Hunter was a must.
PETE; YOU SENT ME AN E-MAIL REGARDING AN UPDATE LIST SO PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU HAVE ORIGINALS.
On a further note; I noticed that the Nip Tuck episode in the fall w/ RC's younger partner undergoing plastic surgery will feature the gentleman who plays JT on THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS-Forgive me since I cannot remember his name in real life. All I know is both are dreams! Richard Chamberlain being the biggest dream of course!
Out of curiosity; is anyone attending the performance and backstage tour for THE KING & I in Hawaii. I am jealous if you are so speak up!!!!!
Cheerio fans and hope all is well in your part of the world!!!

Post 422 ROME WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU
After four plus decades of looking for the magnificent Dr. Kildare trilogy, ROME WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU ... I HAVE FOUND IT!! ... and it is clear and viewable ... How fortunate for the fans! MGM spent more money on this three part drama than any other Dr. Kildare project. When Dr. Gillespie and Dr. Kildare fly to Rome to get in on the latest cancer research, Dr. Kildare meets Francesca Paolini, and they fall hopelessly in love. The gorgeous Daniela Bianchi stars as the alluring Francesca, and it is very difficult to determine which actor is the most beautiful. This gorgeous actress was a most fitting leading lady to our equally gorgeous Richard Chamberlain. MGM spent a great deal of money perfecting the magnificent Roman sets, and designing the beautiful wardrobes. This story is extremely well-written and promises to capture your heart. Dr. Kildare wines and dines the beautiful Francesca. They dance, fall in love, and can't keep their hands or lips off each other. Our romantic Richard definitely got his "Romantic Leading Man" chops from his Kildare days, and no one can bring romance to the set better than he. Dr. Kildare takes her sailing (they are both breathtaking in their bathing suits) and then into the city for a magical shopping spree. While driving through the cobblestone streets of Rome, Richard Chamberlain sings his big hit, Rome Will Never Leave You. He truly takes hold of your heart with his smooth baritone voice, which is one of the most beautiful voices of all time. He was absolutely sensational in this three part trilogy of love. Of all the Kildares - this is the one with the most flare, verve, and most "magical" romance. Richard Chamberlain and Daniela Bianchi were "hot" together, and the Italian actors in this drama were simply "sensational." *** "Once you come to Rome **** Rome will be your home forever after, even when you are away *** You may leave, but Rome Will Never Leave You *** Rome will always be inside your heart" *** If you are interested in obtaining this rare and sensational, long lost trilogy - please write me at my e-mail address for the details. This is THE ONE you will not want to miss.

I try to imagine the heat you had to deal with in such a very hot filming location plus having to wear warm clothing for the role and a wig. That takes a lot of doing!! Your a trooper! Your performance of Governor Charles Eden was very well done!!! I hope many, many fans out there will be able to watch the great performances of the entire cast of "Blackbeard" I for one very much enjoyed the Hallmark Special Of "Blackbeard."

RE Dr Kildare
Dr. Kildare "rights" are owned by Ted Turner. Mr Turner is a very rich man, and has never released the master tapes to the public. He probably never will, as he does not need the money. Over the years, the episodes have been broadcast on Turner South...Mr. Turner's station. Ardent fans, have been able to pick up the episodes by sattelite dish and make their own private tapes. Some years back, I purchased the Master Tapes from one such source. I have over 200 episodes of Dr. Kildare...almost the entire five years. My daughter has put them all on DVD, which has given me a very lovely Dr. Kildare Library. I happily share my bounty with fans who wish to see Dr. Kildare. I have a beginning group of DVDs, I call "The Best Of Kildare," (a lovely sampling of the series best programs,)and the fans go on from there. If you will write me at my e-mail address, I can make these available to Richard Chamberlain fans. If you mention that you saw this offer on TV Heaven, I will send a healthy contribution to the TV Heaven website for any orders I receive. Dr. Kildare was a "fabulous" program, and a young Richard Chamberlain took the world by storm, "igniting" the television screen and "mesmerizing" a world-wide audience for five phenomenal years, with his beauty, compassion and charm. I am probably Dr. Kildare's most ardent admirer and love to keep the fires burning in the hearts of all RC fans for this exceptional work. This is the program that launched the amazing and legendary Richard Chamberlain...and it is exciting, interesting, and most worthwhile viewing to this very day. After all these years, I am still "DAZZLED" by the very gifted and talented young Richard chamberlain, as the poised and most charming Dr. Kildare.

Post 417 Richard Chamberlain
I've just finished watching The Thorn Birds (i did originally see it in the 80's on TV but was too young to remember much - probably shouldn't have been watching it at all) and WOW. The naked scene on the verandah with Mary Carson blew my mind - what a body. I was very suprised to see that Richard is now in his 70's .... still such a stunningly handsome man.

RE Richard Chamberlain
I have to agree with Cassandra. When Richard Chamberlain was toweling off in the rain unaware that Barbara Stanswyck (Mary Carson)was observing him; I wish that would have been me playing Ms. Carson. He could have had my soul after that shot.
Richard Chamberlain is exceptionally handsome and carries himself so well. He looked terrific in that deep navy/black pin-striped suit in the BBC episode of Hustle. He would be a perfect cover page for a fine clothing magazine for men. He has that charisma and sophistication!!
Hawaii has definitely agreed with him; although he has always been extremely handsome before the move to the islands!!!!!

Post 416 Richard Chamberlain leaving On Golden Pond
Dear Richard Chamberlain fans: I am sure I speak for many fans who are very disappointed that Richard Chamberlain will not be taking part in the lead role of "On Golden Pond" with Hayley Mills. The original production with Henry Fonda and Katharine Hepburn was superb. Tom Bosley & Michael Learned are very fine actors. I use to watch them on other programming over the years while as a child growing up; so I know they will do a superb job.
However; first and foremost; I would like to know if Richard is doing okay; since he left the production for personal reasons? This has me concerned and at a somewhat loss; since many people like myself care very deeply for him.
I would be interested to know if Richard may be appearing in person at any other venues or preparing for any other,local eastern U.S. appearances; possibly Washington D.C. This would be a great opportunity for someone like myself who has never had the pleasure to meet him.
Thank you to Darren Smith and company for the heads-up on the release date for the U.S. run of Blackbeard on the Hallmark Channel-definitely wouldn't want to miss this!!!!
Cheerio! for now! Michele Ann Nutwell, Waldorf, Maryland, USA

Post 415 Richard Chamberlain CD
To Richard Chamberlain fans: I would like to take this time to extend a special thanks to Pete Bailey for providing me with a CD of Richard Chamberlain's beautiful voice which comprised 21 heartfeld songs.
Richard's deep and soothing sound brings chills down your spine. I must confess that Georgia On My Mind, Try To Remember, Stella by Starlight, April Love, Hush..Hush..Sweet Charlotte, You Always Hurt The One You Love, Rome will Never Leave You, It's a Lonesome Old Town When You're Not Around & A Quiet Kind of Love are my favorites off the CD.
If Richard Chamberlain had pursued his singing career wholeheartedly; Frank Sinatra may have been given a run for his money and extremely jealous. "Old blue eyes may have been old green eyes." Judy Crocker was right when she mentioned " He's that good!" Magnificent is a better term.
Should anyone know a movie or play where you can actually see Richard sing; I would love to get my hands on this. I am so impressed with him as an individual and all that he has accomplished that I actually get tears in my eyes at times. He has a brief moment of singing in "A River Made to Drown In"; but it is definitely not long enough.
Anyone who does not have a CD of songs must obtain this for pure enjoyment alone. If you have had a hard day and are ready to scream; these songs will definitely relax you and bring peace to your heart. I know it did for me!!!!
Needless to say; I am playing the CD over and over again in my car. Hope I don't wear it out from repetition.
Also; a special thanks to Pete for the Hustle; Hamlet & The Lady's Not for Burning as well.
Hustle was a spin to the usual characters Richard plays; and it was fun to see him in that particular role. I am saving Hamlet & The Lady's Not for Burning to savor for a few other evenings.
Looking forward to seeing Richard Chamberlain in "Blackbeard" with Rachel Ward; although they have separate scenes-what a shame since I would love to see them in an intense love scene 20+ years later. This would have been really cool!
Should someone come across in cameos or other tv movies or guest spots Richard may be appearing in; feel free to share!!!!It would be very much appreciated.
Cheerio & Lots of Love! Michele Ann Nutwell, Waldorf, Maryland USA

I recently acquired the My Fair Lady - Richard Chamberlain Theatre Window Card signed by what appears to be the entire cast of the My Fair Lady (1993), Virgina Theatre, 245 West 52d Street cast, including Richard Chamberlain. Is this considered a collectable and if so where might a value be obtained. Thank you.

Post 411 You are the BEST !!!
Dear Richard, First of all I would like to send You my best wishes and kisses for your birthday. I also would like to tell you that You are the most handsome man I have ever seen. I am 18 years old and I live in Poland. I can tell that You are even here (almost at the back of beyond :-)) the most fameous actor. Your main role in The Thorn Birds was absolutely great. I bought the DVD with this film and since that day I am the happiest person in the world. I watch You every day. Exept this our Polish TV exposes The Island Son so I can watch You every Saturday. It is wonderfull. I have always dreamed about Your autograph in the Your foto but I think that it is not possible but I will be really gratefull if You could send it for me. My dream will come true. I hope that You will read my e-mail and You send me an answer. It is really important for me. So I look forward to hearing from You. Greetings and Kisses Joanna :-)

Post 409 Richard Chamberlain memorabilia
CHEERIO! RICHARD CHAMBERLAIN FANS!
Being a recent newcomer to the message board; I have found it to be a very resourceful and enlightening tool for sharing ideas and information regarding Richard Chamberlain.
Ironically; the last time I was so involved with a fan club was in the 1980's when Boy George and Culture Club were at their peak musically. I thought it very interesting that I am so intrigued with Richard Chamberlain; since Richard's first name is George as well. Coincidences can be rather perplexing!
I would like to take this time to ask Judy Crocker or anyone else where I may obtain a Richard Chamberlain CD as well. I would really love to hear Richard's singing voice. I can only imagine how good he is judging from his speaking voice and just his natural,chiseled good looks. I guess it is true what they say, "That you do get better with age!" A FACE THAT PERFECT COULD ONLY PROJECT A BEAUTIFUL,PERFECT SONG AS WELL!-HENCE THE THORN BIRDS! I use to sing when I was a younger girl in elementary school and did not continue through later years. I do miss it and often wonder what would have been had I kept up with it. In the day, I would sing Olivia Newton-John songs; so suffice to say I appreciate a beautiful voice.
Singing or hearing someone sing brings a certain empowerment. So again; if anyone can point me in the right direction regarding a CD collection for Richard Chamberlain; I would be most grateful.
Second; I am interested in "The Lady's Not For Burning" and "Hamlet"; should anyone have access to footage on DVD.
Third; anyone know when I may catch the episode of Hustle on the American Movie Classics here in the states with Richard? I check with persistence each week but to no avail. I do not have BBC1 on my cable package so this has provided an obstacle for me. If someone can show me with a media clip on the internet; please let me know since I have only been able to view slides from the episode where he portrays James Whittaker Wright III.
Richard Chamberlain is a true inspiration to the acting profession and anyone who has not experienced his works has; undoubtedly, missed out on a level of sophistication and class that may not be seen again.
Those of you who observed his theatrical performances; I envy, since this was additional, first hand knowledge of his depth as an actor! What an emotional and rewarding experience this must have been!!!
Lots of love to you all and most importantly; to RICHARD!

Post 408 Happy 72nd Birthday Richard Chamberlain
I loved you in Dr. Kildare, even had a Dr. Kildare blouse, like many other of your fans. Wow, I remember a magazine photo of you in NYC near a pole in Central Park. I had wished I were there to see you. I was in Hawaii in May of 1976. We did see a person by the same name, Wilt Chamberlain on the beach in Wakiki. After all these years, I still think you are great. Enjoy your birthday!

Post 406 midnight birthday wish
Dear Mr. Chamberlain; Wherever you may be this early Friday am; I just wanted to wish you a very pleasant happy 72nd birthday!!! I live in Waldorf, Maryland and have really enjoyed following your list of achievements; mainly some of your mini series including Shogun and The Thorn Birds. I am waiting to see the episode of Hustle; since I am only able to catch the show on AMC and not BBC here in my locality.
In the next day; I will be catching the spoof of Dr. Kildare on the TV Land Awards 2006 repeat episode and a movie Aftermath: A Test of Love on the Lifetime Channel with Michael Learned from "The Waltons". I have realized how much I have missed over the years; mostly of which have been your theatrical performances. You are an extraordinary and passionate actor and I truly enjoy watching you on television. I only wish I would have seen more over the years. My mom said "She loved Dr. Kildare."
Among purchasing many of your movies on DVDs and your book "Shattered Love"; I am waiting for Blackbeard in May/June and your upcoming tour of "On Golden Pond".
You seem very dedicated, spiritual and a true testiment to the term "perfection". I am hoping to receive a free box of macadamian nuts in the near future for my devotion as well. Just kidding! Okay; maybe just a small box!!! Just a little about me; I am 36 years old, 5'3", blonde, green-eyed & medium build. I can be very conservative at times; work very hard & love the simple things in life. I love eating out(Mexican & seafood are my favorites), going to the beach, shopping, Halloween; taking pictures, taking care of my blue mustang and my quaker parakeet "Roco".
I am very intuitive, very stubborn, tend to like to be right and stand firm to what I believe. I cannot stand lazy, two-faced or vicious personalities-They irritate me immensely! What you see is what you get with me and I am very transparent when it comes to liking or not liking things!!!!
I have been able to relate to you through some personal dilemmas in my own life recently after reading your book. It has helped me come to terms with issues in my own life. I admire your strength and wisdom and look forward one day to meeting you. Respectfully & cheerio! Michele Ann Nutwell, Waldorf, Maryland

Happy Birthday and Many Happy Returns to You, our very Dearest Richard Chamberlain. Since many years you are entertaining the people all over the world by means of your great performance in television series, films, theater, as an artist and by singing. Oh, I do love your beautiful voice. Hearing you sing is generating easy-going happyness, is curing the soul and making one believe in better relationship with the people next to you. It is such a pitty that here in Belgium it is so hard to hear your songs. Luckily I could purchase through ebay's website, one of your LP records. Wow !!! Thanks for all the efforts you ever have put into your public appearence, on the screen, on stage. Thanks for being such a nice person. All the best, for ever and ever. Yours sincerely M-J

First I would like to send my best wishes for your birthday on Friday. It was mine at the beginning of March, and the same number too!! After seeing your guest appearance on "Hustle" last friday, I should like to congratulate you on your "Northern English" accent towards the end of the film. As I originate fron Lancashire, it was grand to listen to you speak the words in our northern dialect. Thank you Richard. I have tried for many years to contact you in some way but I have never managed to. Now after all this time it would mean a great deal to me to know that you had read this. Happy birthday again.
