He was always a pleasure on screen, on stage and in the few times I ran into him socially over the years. A long life well lived.

I never got a chance to see him on stage, but his scenes with Barbara Stanwyck in The Thorn Birds are unforgettable.

Not Prince Edward of Euphrania! The Slipper and the Rose is one of my comfort movies. RIP :(

''Not Prince Edward of Euphrania!''

To quote a lyric from ''The Slipper and the Rose,'' ''Oh, ho, ho, what a comforting thing to know'' that there are others who love this 1976 Cinderella live-action musical. Richard Chamberlain and Gemma Craven were a royal treat, and so were the Sherman brothers' cute and catchy songs. One of their most beautiful waltzes was even nominated for an Oscar (''He Danced With Me/She Danced With Me''.

I only know him from The Slipper and the Rose, and that my mom always thought he was a hunk. I love The Slipper and the Rose even though Chamberlain may not be the most interesting Cinderella Prince. He still was princely. Now I find out he was gay. Awesome! I am glad he had a long life partner and I hope he is singing and acting with the angels.

I had the pleasure of meeting him about 50 years ago at a mutual friend's house. He was as nice as he was handsome. A real gentleman. RIP.

This might be embarrassing for me to admit, but I really had no idea this man was American until the death announcement. I really thought he was English this whole time!
