Live in Person:  Richard Chamberlain!

*** ONE SHOW ONLY ***

 

Singular entertainment legend and iconic television heart throb Richard Chamberlain rolls into Hollywood Palms to host screenings of “The Four Muskeeters” for one night only on Saturday March 13^th.  

Chamberlain will be forever remembered in the title role of the mega hit TV series "Dr. Kildare" which literally made him a household name overnight. He played the popular physician for five years and at the height of his fame was receiving over 12,000 fan letters a week, far more than even Clark Gable ever received.

This 6 time Golden Globe nominnee has won the coveted award 3 times and also holds a unique position within the world of mini-series by having starred in some of the most dramatic and powerful televion productions ever.  Over two decades, Chamberlain has starred in six of the most highly acclaimed, highly watched mini-series in the history of televsion, "Wallenberg", "The Bourne Idetnity", "Dream West", "Centenial" and most famously "Shogun" and “The Thornbirds”. These roles have garnered 4 Emmy nominations and secured his position of one of the great ladies men of all times.

Chamberlain was born in Beverly Hillsand first aspired to become an artist, switching gears when he scored successfully in college theatrical productions followed by a tour of duty in the U.S. Army where he gained his sergeant’s stripes in Korea. He was a founding actor in the acclaimed Los Angeles repreatory group, “Company of Angels”, and was cast in a dozen television programs until he landed the lead in the ill-fated series pilot "Paradise Kid”.

After his Kiladare success Chamberain decided to tackle more challenging classic roles such as “Hamlet” on stage and the cunning Octavius opposite Charlton Hestion in “Julius Caesar” and “The Towering Inferno” amoing many others.  Chamberlain’s most notable film role was in the swashbuckling extravaganzas based on Dumas’ classic " The Three Musketeers” where he portrayed the elegant, womanizing, priestly musketeer ‘Aramis’. He played the same flamboyant character in the films’ two sequels, " The Four Musketeers " and "The Return of the Musketeers ", which reunited him with Raquel Welch, Faye Dunaway, Michael York and Oliver Reed.   Chamberlain also starred to critical acclaim in productions such as Edmond Rostand’s "Cyrano de Bergerac", "The Lady’s Not for Burning" for American Public Television with Eileen Atkins, in the musical film "The Slipper and “The Man the Iron Mask."

He has devoted a great deal of his time to musical stage tours as Henry Higgins in "My Fair Lady", Captain Von Trapp in "The Sound of Music" and Ebenezer Scrooge in "Scrooge: The Musical” as well as the lead in the touring company of Monty Python’s “Spamalot”.

His most recent television work has been on the BBC “Hustle” series and guest roles on”Will & Grace”, “Nip Tuck” and “Desperate Housewives”  and the very successful Adam Sandler film “I now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry” playing gay characters on screen as a nod to the release of his coming-out biography “Shattered Love: A Memoir.” Chamberlain, a resident of Hawaii with his partner of 25 years has also returned to painting and shows his work at the Celebrity Gallery in Wailea, Maui.

 

Our very popular series of celebrity events often includes a table in our lobby where you can briefly meet the stars of some of your favorite films, get their autograph or a posed photograph with them.

These events are very expensive to stage and most celebrities are paid for their personal appearances including all first class expenses.

These events are often heavily attended and we always suggest that you arrive early.  Celebrities are generally scheduled to arrive one hour prior to the first scheduled showing of their film.  They may or may not be available to the public after a screening so we always suggest that you purchase a souvenir and meet them prior to entering the auditorium.  Your early arrival also helps ensure that you can enjoy the widest selection of seats when you watch the film. You must have purchased an admission ticket to get in the line to meet our guests.

For some extraordinarily popular events we have to run select films in more than one auditorium, so our guests will appear in person in the largest auditorium and we will feed live video of their greeting into secondary auditoriums before we roll the film.  Seating is always on a first come first serve basis so you may or may not be in the same auditorium as our guest during an interview, although you will not miss anything when viewing it live on our big screen in an adjacent auditorium.  If space permits, there may be standing room during an interview.

Depending on the length of the line and scheduling, our guest may or may not entertain questions from the audience and introduce the film from the stage.  This is entirely discretionary and varies from event to event.  Some of our guests make an extraordinary effort to ensure a great experience and are very talkative, although this may back up the seating for later show times. Sometimes the lines to get autographs and pictures are so long that timing will not permit the actor to make an in-theater appearance at all.  We try to please as many people as possible and hate to turn away people from the line or the shows, although this will at times wreak havoc with the show schedule.

In most instances, there is a charge per autograph, whether it is a photograph or item from here at the table or something that you bring with you.  You must have purchased an autograph in order to get a posed photograph with our guest.  In some cases, we do have a professional photographer set up to take a picture with our guest, also at a nominal charge, and in those instances you may only get a posed photograph through this system.  We do take credit cards and there is also an ATM on premise.

You may always take a candid unposed photograph of our guest from elsewhere in the lobby at no additional charge.
