Richard Chamberlain Polemiized declaring that the artists of the new generations should “continue in the closet” because of homophobia
Idol of different generations, the American actor Richard Chamberlain died of a stroke. He would have turned 91 on Monday (31).
His three greatest career shots – which produced three Golden Globes – were the series “Dr. Kildare”, “Shogun” and “Wounded Birds”. The latter, in which the artist played a priest divided between devotion and love for a woman, made the passage of SBT to Ibope in the 80s.
For its beauty and charm, Chamberlain became an idol of millions of adolescents and adult women. Famous brought curiosity to his intimacy. Always discreet for love life, he aroused the voices that he was gay.
In 2003, the mystery is over. He confirmed homosexuality in his biography. Seven years later, in an interview with the LGBT+ “The Advocate” magazine, the surprised actor giving advice to young gays.
“There is still a terrible homophobia in our culture. It is stupid and immoral, but it is there. For an actor who works, it is a miracle, because most of the actors are not gay. Personally, I would not recommend any gay actor to leave the closet,” he said.
His latest work on TV was to live a man with the HIV virus in the “Brothers & Sisters” series in 2010. Then he moved away from the spotlight.
The actor Martin Rabbett, who was Richard Chamberlain’s husband and his colleague in some films, such as “Allan Quatemain and The Lost Gold City”, published a message after the announcement of death.
“He is free and flies to those dear ones in front of us. How much we have been blessed because we have known such an extraordinary and loving soul. Love never dies. And our love is under his wings, raising him in his next great adventure.”
