Who played Dr. Kildare in the NBC medical drama television series of the same name in the 1960's?

Taranchalanche, you are 100% right. In the 1980s, Richard Chamberlain was the King of the Miniseries. he starred in The Thorn Birds, Shogun (my favorite), and King Solomon's Mine.

Player #BOB, yes, I believe many viewers tuned in each week to catch an eye on young doctor Jim kildare. it was a very good medical show during this era in time.

He starred in the thorn birds too? Or am I not remembering right. And another miniseries shogun

Player #BOB, yes but enjoyed Richard, he is still easy on the eyes, he went to do plays, movies, maintained his good looks as he aged, actually very gracefully.

Player #21173880, true! Loved him in the Thorn Birds.

I had a crush on him back in those days!

He was also a crooked contractor in "The Towering Inferno".

Cookie little, what red blooded woman didn't? Every year when my coworkers and received our new big desk calendars, a certain coworker would look for March 31st and write in "Richard Chamberlain's birthsay" as if she knew him personally. When he came out of the closet, she stopped noting his birthday, citing her religion.

CoolLady89446, if you loved the movie you’ll love the book. It’s my favorite book!

irishlass7769, a really good looking man too

I HAD SU H A CRUSH ON HIM. HE COULD HAVE EXAMINED ME WHENEVER HE WANTED. SUCH A DOLL AND A GOOD ACTOR BESIDES.. HE WAS VERY GOOD IN SHOGUN.

CoolLady89446, Thorn Birds was my fav

quite a few actors were and are gay. sometimes I wonder if the whole generation is.youcant always tell. I figured out Chamberlin was gay a while back. I never knew rock Hudson was until he got aids. actually ianmcellen from lord of the rings is too.

never knew he was gay, until he later disclosed it. he looked so manly. l guess he fooled a lot of people. he was such a good actor.

CoolLady89446, He was great in all of them!!

My favorite television show as a little kid!

penawareof, and OJ played a fireman who rescued a cat.. simpler times..
