He Is 89, And She Is 66: What Maggie And Ralph From “The Thorn Birds” Look Like 40 Years Later?

The year was 1983 when “The Thorn Birds” graced our screens, capturing our hearts with the unforgettable Ralph and Maggie, brought to life by Richard Chamberlain and Rachel Ward.

Chamberlain, a household name and winner of a Golden Globe, skillfully filled Father Ralph’s shoes, while Rachel Ward stepped into Maggie’s shoes at the onset of her acting journey. A twist of fate led to Ward’s real-world romance with co-star Bryan Brown, who took on Maggie’s spouse, Luke, on the set.

Off-screen, Ward and Brown took their chemistry to the next level, exchanging vows and nurturing a family with three children. Today, at age 89, Richard Chamberlain still captivates audiences with his performances.

Rachel Ward, on the other hand, stepped away from the spotlight, retiring from her acting career in 2014.

Curiosity around their current looks sparked conversations when they were recently seen. Chamberlain receives admiration for his impressive appearance at his age, while Ward has unfortunately been the subject of harsh judgment, with remarks about her seemingly less maintained appearance and critical observations regarding her self-care.

The remarkable saga of “The Thorn Birds” echoes through time, as does the fascination with its leading duo’s transformation over the decades.
