Up until two weeks ago I knew very little about Richard Chamberlain.....I had not seen any of the Dr. Kildare Series or any of his movies except for The Towering Inferior. I did not know that he was also a singer and artist....I did know however about his strained relationship with his father because I once heard Chuck Chamberlain speak..
I am not sure what I was researching on the internet when I happened upon a Richard Chamberlain You Tube video but it caught my interest to the point that I watched all of the Richard Chamberlain You Tube videos that I could find....Purchased Shattered Love, and The Thorn Birds, The Bourne Identity, and Shogun DVD's, and Richard Chamberlain Sings Album....
My Daughter said, "Mom you are really going Richard Chamberlain overboard." ....HAHAHA... She is right....Maybe I should start a Grandma's for Richard Chamberlain fan club....HAHAHA
His singing has a very calming effect on me....I didn't tell my daughter that but had her listen and asked her opinion about his singing and she said, "His voice is very relaxing"...
I totally enjoyed reading his book and found him to be as talented a writer as he is actor, singer, and artist.....
His goodness shines through in all of the movie characters that I saw him play....well maybe not so much in The Towering Inferno.....HAHAHA.....
I can see why Shogun seems to come first on his list of favorite parts....it was the most versatile part ....... it even gave him opportunities to play and laugh.....
Thank you Richard for having the courage to share so much of yourself with others through your book.....A man once told me "We are only as sick as our secrets." And he said that his life is now an open book.
Thank you for choosing to uplift rather than tear down others in your book....
You're a good man Richard Chamberlain and I wish you well always.....Vicky

"Shattered Love: A Memoir" Overview
One of the most beloved actors of our time shares the New York Times bestselling story of how he learned to live with an open heart.
Early in his career, shortly after rising to fame as television's Dr. James Kildare, Richard Chamberlain took on the role of Hamlet on the English stage. The play contained a lesson the actor has remembered throughout his life: "To thine own self be true." But for Chamberlain these were not always easy words to live by. Even as he won the adoration of millions of fans, this handsome, charming, debonair leading man seriously questioned his own self–worth, living a life haunted by personal insecurity despite decades of immense popular success in memorable roles in Dr. Kildare, The Thorn Birds, Shogun, and other television dramas. Finally, with the help of friends and guidance from spiritual teachers, including Krishnamurti, Chamberlain began the sometimes painful but deeply rewarding process of reconciling his deepest self with his public persona. Now, in Shattered Love, he poignantly recounts his lifelong struggle to find happiness. Tracing a fascinating path through his meteoric rise to success, he chronicles his struggle to come to terms with his own imperfections, his growing desire to be honest about his sexual orientation, and his yearning to live with an open heart. And along the way he imparts the lessons he has learned about overcoming our own self–imposed obstacles to happiness: the importance of listening to our own instincts instead of listening only to others, not demanding the impossible of ourselves, and allowing ourselves to explore negative feelings in order to move forward.
shattered LOVE???? - Pearle D Khadar - Miami, Fl
i bought this book believeing that i would find out more about Richard Chamberlain's personal life and loves, but this book disappointed me. It barely speaks about the man that has spent so many years by his side. It's more of a movie disography, more of his accomplishements in his career than his love life.
Now a Chamberlain fan - Kitty - Portland, OR
This book was not particularly earth-shattering, however it was well written and gave insight to a nice man and his life. Especially enjoyable was Chamberlain interaction with readers with side-note comments of their perceived thoughts of what he was writing. Amazing that I have never seen a Richard Chamberlain movie and barely remember watching him as "Dr. Kildare" - now I have a new list of must-watch movies!

This books is a review of a life that grows and grows. Richard Chamberlain should have been a writter, he is an intellectual all the way. He is funny and sad, this book reads like a great novel of the movie industry. Please Richard share with us more of your thoughts on life!
