RICHARD CHAMBERLAIN, 84 YEARS OLD
Richard Chamberlain’s breakthrough role was the lead role in the NBC show Dr. Kildare. The older readers likely recall the actor as James Kildare, a young intern working at the Blair General Hospital. The drama show proved to be a hit and it landed him other roles in both film and theater projects. If you wish to see more of his work, you will find him in The Bourne Identity, The Thorn Birds, and King Solomon’s Mines. Yes, he was the original Jason Bourne, even preceding Matt Damon! Oh, we have another fascinating tidbit about Richard Chamberlain. He was openly gay after and he even got involved with his Allan Quatermain and the Lost City of Gold co-actor. The first media outfit to have publicized this fact was Nos Deux back in 1989 and Chamberlain confirmed it in his 2003 autobiography Shattered Love.
QUEEN ELIZABETH II, 92 YEARS OLD
When Thailand’s King Bhumibol Adulyadej passed away two years ago, Queen Elizabeth II usurped him for the world’s longest reigning monarch. It all makes sense when you learn that she officially became the Queen of the United Kingdom in 1952. If you’re too lazy to do the math, you should know that she has been on the throne for 66 years now! A royal bloodline comes with plenty of perks and a net worth of $600 million is one of them. We would be grateful if had even a small fraction of that fortune!
