(AP) – Richard Dysart, a veteran stage and screen actor who played senior
partner Leland McKenzie in the long-running TV courtroom drama "L.A. Law,"
(1986-1994), has died after a long illness. He earned one Emmy Award, and
three more nominations, for his role on “L.A. Law”.

Dysart died Sunday at his home in Santa Monica, California, according to his
daughter-in-law Jeannine Jacobi.

He created the Broadway role of the Coach in "That Championship Season,"
for which he won a Drama Desk Award in 1972, and his many film appearances
included Clint Eastwood’s "Pale Rider" (1985) and John Carpenter’s "The Thing”
(1982).

George Richard Chamberlain was born in Beverly Hills, California.

Chamberlain starred on Dr. Kildare on NBC (1961 – 1966). The role
earned him a Golden Globe Award for Best Performance by an Actor
in a Motion Picture Made for Television. Since then, he has appeared
in several mini-series such as The Thorn Birds on ABC (1983), many
successful films, performed classical stage roles and worked in the
musical theatre.

This song became a hit for Chamberlain when released as a single
in 1963, peaking at No. 14 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

The biographical movie about the famous rock singer Elvis Presley
starred Kurt Russell, Shelley Winters, and Bing Russell. The movie
aired less than 18 months on ABC after the singer’s shocking death
at the age of 42 and propelled former Disney lead actor Kurt Russell
to adult stardom.
