Posted: 2/2/04 at 9:15pmDon't get me wrong, Richard Chamberlain is a fine actor and sings well enough. However he's had so much plastic surgery that when he closes his mouth his knees snap to attention!

Posted: 2/2/04 at 9:33pmNo. He's says in his book, Shattered Mirror, that he has had no plastic surgery.

Posted: 2/2/04 at 9:38pmIf he did, poor Richard needs to find his recepit. I met him while visiting friends in Sound of Music a few years back. He was Von Trap (whole other story). I loved him in "The Man in the Iron Mask" & The Thornbirds.

Posted: 2/3/04 at 10:50amRichard Chamberlain has an offer to play Billy Flynn but it is far from a done deal. And I find it hard to believe that people are objecting to his casting due to plastic surgery. This is a show that has previously starred Patrick Swayze,Melanie Griffith, George Hamilton, Marylou Henner and Alan Thicke. If we banned replacements with face-lifts from CHICAGO the show would have closed years ago.

Posted: 2/3/04 at 3:25pmThat he has had plastic work is not at the issue. That he has had SO much work that he is almost unrecognizable is. The last time I saw him (10+ yrs ago) he looked oriental his eyes were so tight!

Isn't Chamberlain at least 70 years old?? TOO OLD. If they REALLY wanna cast someone for shock value they should get Mark Geragos. Oh wait--he's busy.
