My mother, like many an American *hausfrau*, fawned over him as Dr. 
Kildare, especially when he backed up the role with a string of sappy 
ballads released by "Kildare" studio MGM's sister record label (only "Rome 
Will Never Leave You," a Bacharach/David tune performed on the show, 
cracked the *Billboard* Hot 100)... he went strictly acting after that (I 
saw him in Richard Lester's *The Three Musketeers* as a kid)... but his 
greatest was still to come: *Shogun, The Thorn Birds*... with occasional 
returns to Broadway, where he'd first shined in *Hamlet*... should I go on? 
Saturday (29) in Hawai'i, where he'd been based from the late 80s till 
2010; 90.
