RICHARD CHAMBERLAIN, 84 YEARS OLD

Richard Chamberlain got his big break when he landed the lead starring role in the NBC series Dr. Kildare. We bet the older readers recall him as the young intern James Kildare who works at the fictional Blair General Hospital! The success of the drama show gave him plenty of acting opportunities for both the big screen and the stage as well. You will find him in King Solomon’s Mines, The Bourne Identity, and The Thorn Birds. You might have a hard time believing someone else played Jason Bourne before Matt Damon, but it’s true. Another interesting bit of trivia? Richard Chamberlain was openly gay, and he was even involved with his Allan Quatermain and the Lost City of Gold costar! Nous Deux was the first media outfit to have publicized this in 1989, and the actor confirmed it when he released his autobiography Shattered Love in 2003.

ANN BLYTH, 90 YEARS OLD

The lovely Ann Blyth has done film and theater work in her long, impressive career. You probably best remember her for her performance as Veda Pierce Forrester in crime film Mildred Pierce, however. In the movie, she portrayed the daughter of the title character who was depicted by the equally iconic Joan Crawford. However, she has since retired from the industry and spends the majority of her time in her home. When you are as talented as she is, it is no longer surprising to hear that she has received a star of her own on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
