I love that picture Mongo, it shows them both in quite a different light.

Ok -- I admit it: I'm a great big fan of Richard Chamberlain, and always have been. I was just at that pre-adolescent obssessive crush age when Dr. Kildare came to TV, and I never lost my puppy love for him. He was one of the 8X10 glossies who had a lot more to offer than picture-perfect looks.

Over the years I have come to the conclusion that Chamberlain is a much better actor than the confines of his image allowed him to be, and I always enjoy his work, no matter how substandard the goings-on around him. I still get a little residual frisson of excitement when I hear his voice narrating some Discovery Channel, or the like, documentary. And I'm old enough now not to care whether he plays with girls.

add a couple of sighs for me...I still think "The Thornbirds", episode 3 :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: was one of the most romantic things I have ever seen. I like him a lot more as he has aged, than when he was a young guy.

Absolutely. He was wonderful in The Male Animal.

He is probably best remembered by those of a certain age as the father of Dennis the Menace on TV, but he was everywhere in films and TV, and if you needed a store clerk, a mild-mannered GI, a geeky school teacher, or just a generally calm, shy and retiring kind of supporting actor, Anderson was your man. He just looked like he was born in horn-rimmed glasses and a tweed jacket with elbow patches, and he smoked many a contemplative pipe in his roles. He was a young contract player at Warner Bros. in the early 40s, and was in the background in quite a few Cagney movies, which is probably why no one noticed him.

Where would Hollywood be without such stalwarts?

I, too loved Richard Chamberlain. Especially in Joy in the Morning with Yvette Mimieux. Someday, I might try to get a copy of Thornbirds to see, it was on my one Bingo night (which I refused to give up), I had read the book and was afraid TV would ruin the story, but from all I hear, I guess I was wrong.

As for today's other birthdays -- Shirley Jones is a doll!
