Richard Chamberlain, the award-winning actor who played TV's "Dr. Kildare" and starred in popular miniseries including "The Thorn Birds" and "Shōgun," has died at 90.
Harlan Boll, Chamberlain's representative, confirmed to USA TODAY on Sunday that the actor died Saturday from complications following a stroke. He would have celebrated his 91st birthday Monday.
