Born George Richard Chamberlain on March 31, 1934, in Beverly Hills, actor Richard Chamberlain was the younger son of a food market equipment salesman and his wife.
Very athletic in his youth, he ran track in high school and, later, at Pomona College, which he entered in 1952. While studying at Pomona, he developed an interest
in acting and was noticed by at least one studio, However, he was drafted into the Army following his 1956 graduation. After detaching from military service in 1958,
Chamberlain returned to southern California with a renewed interest in acting. He found success relatively quickly, first in television in guest roles on such
programs as Gunsmoke, Alfred Hitchcock Presents, and Thriller. He was also cast in his first film, the crime drama The Secret of the Purple
Reef (1960; with Jeff Richards and Peter Falk). Shortly afterward, Chamberlain signed a contract with MGM; the studio put him in a supporting role in the western
A Thunder of Drums (1961; with Richard Boone and George Hamilton) and cast him as the title character in the NBC series Dr. Kildare.
Chamberlain then headed to England, where he found work in the BBC TV series The Portrait of a Lady (1968). Staying in Britain for several years, he acted in the films The Madwoman
of Chaillot (1969; with Katharine Hepburn, Donald Pleasence, and John Gavin), Julius Caesar
(1970; with Charlton Heston), and The Music Lovers (1970; with Glenda Jackson), among other films. Upon his return to the U.S. in the 1970s, Chamberlain found
work in theatrical releases and made-for-TV films, such as F. Scott Fitzgerald and The Last of the Belles (1974; with Susan Sarandon, Blythe Danner, and Richard
Hatch) and The Swarm (1978; with Michael Caine, Katharine Ross, and Bradford Dillman). While great film success eluded him, television
again made him a star in the mini-series Centennial, Shogun, and The Thorn Birds.
