LOS ANGELES, March 31 — Actor Richard Chamberlain, a handsome leading man who played in popular TV series from “Dr Kildare” in the 1960s to miniseries like “The Thorn Birds” and the original “Shogun,” has died at age 90, news media said Sunday.

The death Saturday in Waimanalo, Hawaii followed complications of a stroke, Variety reported.

“He was the original Shogun. He was the original Jason Bourne. He was the quintessential heartthrob of a generation,” his friend and fellow actor David Havasi said on X.
