He told “The Advocate” in 2010, “There’s still a tremendous amount of homophobia in our culture. It’s regrettable, it’s stupid, it’s heartless, and it’s immoral, but there it is. For an actor to be working is a kind of miracle, because most actors aren’t, so it’s just silly for a working actor to say, ‘Oh, I don’t care if anybody knows I’m gay’ — especially if you’re a leading man. Personally, I wouldn’t advise a gay leading man–type actor to come out.” In the early ’70s, Chamberlain was in a relationship with actor Wesley Eure, and in 1977, he began dating his “Allan Quatermain and the Lost City of Gold” co-star Martin Rabbett. Richard and Martin moved in together in Hawaii in 1986, and in 2010, it was reported that the couple had split up after Chamberlain moved to Los Angeles. When asked about it in his 2010 interview with “The Advocate,” Richard stated, “Well, we haven’t really split. In other words, we’re still very, very close. The essence of our relationship has remained the same; we just don’t happen to be living together….I just moved to L.A. because I wanted to work more.”Awards and NominationsChamberlain has earned six Golden Globe nominations, winning for Best TV Star – Male for “Dr. Kildare” (1963), Best Performance by an Actor in a Television Series – Drama for “Shogun” (1981), and Best Performance by an Actor in a Miniseries or Motion Picture Made for Television for “The Thorn Birds” (1984).
