Richard Chamberlain had a loving relationship with his decades-long partner, Martin Rabbett. The late film and TV actor didn’t confirm his sexuality, until his 2003 memoir, Shattered Love, was published, but Richard noted that it was an open secret with his inner circle and in Hollywood. During a 2014 interview with The New York Times, the Golden Globe Award winner acknowledged the expectation to maintain his “hetero heartthrob” image.
“When you grow up in the ’30s, ’40s and ’50s being gay, it not only ain’t easy, it’s just impossible. You cannot do it,” Richard told the publication. He said he learned that “being gay was the worst thing you can possibly be. I assumed there was something terribly wrong with me. And even becoming famous and all that, it was still there.”
Nevertheless, Richard found love with Martin, and they remained close for the rest of his life. Learn more about their past relationship below.
