Richard Chamberlain

American actor and singer Richard Chamberlain was a teen idol during his time. His full name was George Richard Chamberlain. He was born in Beverly Hills, California on March 31, 1934. In 1936, when Richard was two years old, his parents bought a small mansion in Beverly Hills, near the “factory of dreams,” which could not but affect the character and hobbies of the boy.

The actor started his career after starring in the title role of the TV show Dr. Kildare which started in 1961 and lasted for five years. The success of this drama show when he was a young boy, got him multiple roles which helped develop his career. Chamberlain was the first to play Jason Bourne on the TV movie The Bourne Identity. The actor who has made girls swoon over with his role as James Kildare and Jason Bourne is also known to be openly gay. To his credit, he didn’t let the criticism get in the way of his career and his eminent success.
