Richard Benjamin Bio/Wiki, Net Worth, Married 2018

Although his actress wife Paula Prentiss became a star by the early 1960s, it took Richard Benjamin almost fifteen years to establish his screen persona, but the wait was rewarding. After extensive work in theatre as actor and director, and his participation in the cult TV series He & She (1967), in which he co-starred with Prentiss, he won ...

#Quote
1[on his Goodbye, Columbus costar, Ali Macgraw]: The camera looks into your soul, and it looked into Ali's. Men loved her, women loved her. She was a real movie star.
2I always say that you should remake flops, not hits.
3Having Ross Benjamin put things in perspective. I never used to understand why people wanted to go home right after work. Now that's where I want to be - with Ross.
4[on remaining childless for the first 13 years of marriage]: Paula Prentiss was always on the pill. We didn't want children. We were too wrapped up in ourselves. We couldn't see that what we were looking for could be found in someone else. Having the baby [Ross Benjamin] made us grow up. We didn't know anything about babies. It was like waiting for opening night. The doctor told me, 'You won't want to miss this. This is one of the biggies!'
5When Paula Prentiss was sick, people wondered why I didn't leave her. And when I wasn't working they wondered why she didn't leave me. People all along have tried to come between us. It took a long time to figure out that it was their problem, not ours.
#Fact
1For his work in The Sunshine Boys (1975), he's one of only 6 actors to win the Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actor in a motion picture without receiving an Oscar nomination for the same performance. The other 5 are, in chronological order: Millard Mitchell in My Six Convicts (1952), Earl Holliman in The Rainmaker (1956), Stephen Boyd in Ben-Hur (1959), Oskar Werner in The Spy Who Came in from the Cold (1965) and Richard Attenborough, The Sand Pebbles (1966) and Doctor Dolittle (1967).
2Directed one Oscar nominated performance: Peter O'Toole in My Favorite Year (1982).
3Tested for the role of "Ted Henderson" in Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice (1969).
4Father of son Ross Benjamin (born in 1974) and daughter, Prentiss Benjamin (born in 1978), with wife Paula Prentiss.
5Brother-in-law of Ann Prentiss.
6In the mid-1950s, another actor, Richard Lightner, also worked under the name of Richard Benjamin and his credits are often erroneously included with those of the better known Richard Benjamin, who first acted professionally in the mid-1960s.
