Richard Camberlen, the actor, most famous for his role in the 1960s, D -R -Kilder and the leading role in Shogun, died at the age of 90, his publicist confirmed the BBC.
Camberlen earned the title “King of Mini-Series” for leading roles in Shogun and Thorne Birds.
He died late on Saturday night (10:15 GMT on Sunday) at Weimanal, Hawaii, after a stroke complication, his publicist Harlan Bol confirmed – a few hours before he was 91.
Martin Rabbeth, a longtime partner of Camberlen, called him “a strange and loving soul” in his statement.
He said, “Our favorite Richard is now with angels. He is free and rises in front of those loved ones.”
Babbeth added: “Love never dies. And our love is under the wings, lifting it to the next great adventure.”
A great Chimberlen’s break took place in 1961 when he became a home name as Dr. James Kilder as Dr. Kilder. The show, based on the popular series of 1930s and 40s films, attracted millions of viewers and made it a favorite figure.
He became the king of the 1980s mini-series, playing a Western prisoner in Shogun and a Catholic priest who was tempted by love with thorns.
The latter won 60% of American television audience and earned 16 Amy nominations.
He denied gay when he collided with a French magazine in 1989, and did not speak publicly about his homosexuality until he was 70 years old.
Camberlen showed that he was gay in his 2003 biography. Despite the 30-year-old relationship with the actor Rabbeth, they retained their private life secret.
In an interview that promotes the memoir, he advised other beautiful leading actors to maintain his sexuality.
“I thought something very, very deeply wrong with me,” Chamberlen confessed. The couple parted in 2010.
Camberlen was born on March 31, 1934 in Bverly -Hills, California.
