Richard Chamberlain

[Maria Magenta]

He died a couple of days ago and the reason I'm mentioning it is that he played Hamlet at the Rep in 1969 and was apparently very good. (I didn't see it and rather wish I had but saw the revival with Alec McCowen).

Was sorry to read a couple of days ago that he had died, my sister had a crush on him back in the day, I had to pass the news on to her, she lives in Germany and hadn't heard the news then.
My nephews name is Richard which could have been influenced by her liking him!

Richard died following a stroke, aged 90. Here he's pictured as Dr Kildaire (1 & 2) and in 1988 as Jason Bourne, in The Bourne Identity (3):
