ululate! Poor Richard

Actor Richard Chamberlain is dead at 90. He was the king of 80s-era miniseries, starring in "Shogun" and "The Thorn Birds," and he was a big fixture of my childhood. As I grew up, I came to understand that he was a lusted-after sex symbol for many women, but in 2003, Chamberlain revealed he was gay. Whatever his orientation, he loomed large when I was a kid, and the world is a dimmer place without him. I might actually remember him best for his role as Prince Edward in the musical "The Slipper and the Rose."

    I remember him as "Dr. Kildare." There I go showing my age again.

      I never saw any of his later work, like the Indiana Jones ripoff, "King Solomon's Mines.
