Richard Chamberlain on his decision to come out

Actor Richard Chamberlain describes both his personal and professional struggles with his sexuality, and how he was able to finally come out:

"It wasn't until I was about 68…that finally that area of self-dislike vanished completely. I mean, I had done a lot of work, I'd done a lot of therapy, I'd done a lot of spiritual work, I had wonderful friends, etc., but it wasn't until that late in my life that suddenly all that fear, all that self-dislike, it was as if an angel had put her hand on my head...and said, 'It's over. All that part is over. All that negative stuff is over.'"
