Diane & Michelle...

Finally, some fans who care about Richard (not that the rest of you don't, but
no one is saying anything lately).  I have also been raided by spam on this
site, and it's beyond annoying.  I've been deleting quite a few lately.
 
Hi Dianne, it is me “the other Diane” or shall I be known from here on out
as the one “n” Diane?  LOL!!!

Diane...
You seem to have Richard's history down to a "T" (like me).  Though I think a
few of your details about the whole Kimber/Yasmine thing is slightly off. 
 
No doubt, however, if one thinks about it, the only people who really know the
truth are the parties involved!
 
 I've dug into the subject over the years and pieced together something
different than how you see it.  As I understand it, Yasmine also had a big
problem with drugs and drinking, and Richard broke up with her a few times
"until she could straighten up her act" over it.  He did what he could to help
her out.  He even entered himself into an alcohol rehab program for a week at
Promises.  As far as him having a drug problem, I think that's all just rumors
that are untrue.
 
I remember the article she did for I think Cosmopolitan right after she got
busted, and she did not mention Richard by name, however, talked about moving
away from her boyfriend, and not missing him, and breaking up with him by
phone.  From the sounds of the article it sounds like she developed a drug
problem during the course of their relationship.  On one of Richard’s fan
sites, he has some of his poetry published, and there is one poem about “A
child of Hollywood with cocaine in her dresser” no doubt about Yasmine.  As
far as him having a drug problem, who knows?  By his own admission he likes to
party!   Lots of people speculate he has some sort of problem, because he
looks rather haggard lately.

While Richard & Yasmine were broken up, at one point, Kimber came back and
moved in with him for a month.  By the end of the month, they both agreed it
was a mistake and broke up again.  Yasmine came back and they resumed going
together again.  Then Kimber called to inform him that their month together
resulted in a pregnancy.  He kept it secret from Yasmine as long as he could,
then was forced to tell her over the phone while she was on the set of "Nash
Bridges" since Kimber threatened to go public with the news (he didn't want her
finding out through the media).  As tabloids write it up, she was very upset at
first, but decided to stick by him anyway.  Once Kimber had the baby, Richard
took a DNA test to prove his parenthood, and then held up his end in child
support.  As I understand it, if it weren't for his sister Laura, mother
Caroline, and Yasmine herself, he would have no relationship at all with his son
Dylan.  Today, he still has
regular visitation with the child and loves him dearly.
I remember the tabloids were pretty nasty, and Kimber was complaining to anyone
who would listen to her what a dead beat Dad he was, blah blah blah, and he
apparantly denied paternity, and she had to make him go take the paternity
test, so on and so forth.  He said, she said, and again... blah blah blah.   
He was not happy at all no doubt, as it strained the relationship between him
and Yasmine, and Dylan has HER last name, not his, something I always thought
was a bit strange.

As far as Richard not doing any blockbuster movies over the years...he has said
himself he's not into acting for the money, but for the challenge of it all. 
He has said he chooses more complex roles to see what he can do with
it.  Believe it or not, he was chosen for the lead in SPEED (which he felt was
a "cheesy" script after he read it), but he chose the part of BUGSY in MOBSTERS
because he said the script was much better to him.  In his own words, he said
"Who knew SPEED would be a box office success and MOBSTERS a big
disappointment?”
 
I heard that he turned down Speed, which sort or helped launch Keanu Reeves, one
wonders what it would have done for him.   Ah yes, the “road not taken.” 
Funny thing I was watching Mobsters on AMC the other day, young Patrick Dempsey
looked like such a nerdy dork!  He is totally hot now!    I thought he was
mismatched as Bugsy Siegel, I mean Bugsy was of Russian decent and Jewish,
Richard looks like (and is) an Italian Catholic.  Miscast, totally miscast. 
Not to bad of a movie.  To bad it was panned. As far as the other movies, I
like the made for TV movies, they were rather good.  He should maybe do some
more.  I know he was on Veronica Mars not to long ago. 

As far as his mother's passing due to cancer back in 2001...Yes, he still does
have a hard time dealing with that.  He loved her very much, and she did a
lot for him and his career as an actor when he started out.  He paid her to
answer his fan mail, and God love the woman; I think she answered everyone who
sent mail.  I should know, I wrote him a few times over the years and she
responded to me several times with hand written notes and pictures of Richard. 
After her passing, things have never been the same with his fan mail.  From
what he said on Gone Country, he was with her when she died.
 
How cool!  What a great lady!  I am sure she was very proud of her son!  It
is nice to see someone who at least cares for their parents, nowadays, with the
newspapers filled with violent stabbing and shootings, and most of friends are
estranged from family members, the meaning of family seems to be lost. 

I don't know when he and Stephanie Niznik broke up, but I know they were seeing
each other since about 2001 until at least early 2008.  My assumption is
that they broke it off when she had to move to Africa for a TV show that didn't
seem to do too well, though it had great potential.
 
Again, who knows?  Truthfully, I thought he and Yasmine were a great couple, It
was one of those juicy Hollywood hookups!  I have a feeling she was the love of
his life, and no woman will measure up to her. Kinda like Mickey Rourke and
Carre Otis.  Mickey, who enjoyed a huge comeback last year admitted in an
article that he still loved Carre Otis, even though they had been divorced for
10 years now.  Carre like Yasmine, was another voluptuous, blue eyed, brunette
beauty, who had a high profile marriage to Mickey Rourke before she called it
quits.  I mentioned Mickey Rourke, because he apparantly is one of Richard's
best buds.  He and Stephanie were together for quite some time though, nearly
seven years.  I really did not see too much of her work, however,  I did see
a few episodes of Everwood (my teenage niece loved that show) and Stephanie
seems like a pretty classy lady. 

I read an autobiography of Richard and he has said himself that he admits
whatever goes south in any relationship he has, it's his fault.  He says he
starts out all attentive to the girl, but after awhile he pays less attention to
her and more attention to his own hobbies...writing, singing, being alone,
riding his motorcycles, etc.
 
Just out of curiosity, which autobiography?  I did not know he has an actual
book out, or was it an article?
 
He simply is not the marrying kind; he likes women in his life but not in his
house!  I don’t get the impression; he is a “one woman” man either, if
you know what I mean. However, he made a comment on Gone Country that he would
like to have what Johnny and June Carter Cash had and if he only he could find a
“woman who walked the line with him...”  However, he needs to realize he
has to “walk the line with her” too! 
 
So what did you think of Gone Country?  I think he seemed rather sad, and full
of anger.  I know part of his appeal is the brooding bad boy image, but jeez,
is he addicted to unhappiness?  To bad he did not win though. 
Talk to you all later!!!!

Even though his career started out with a “bang” it just seemed to taper off
in the early 90’s. Some vicious websites deemed him an 80’s casualty.  The
movies he starred in did not seem to help either, he was in a couple of
mainstream movies (i.e. Mobsters and If Looks could Kill) but then he sort of
dropped off the radar.  He was in a lot of what I deem “semi porn” movies
with lots of skanky actresses, that did noting for his career.  I remember now
and then, you would see him on a made for TV movie.  There were rumors he had
some alcohol and drug problems as well, and there was a rather high profile
romance with the gorgeous Yasmine Bleeth that went south after he had an affair
on her with Kimber Sissons and knocked her up with his son Dylan, as well as the
subsequent denial that Dylan was his, the paternity suit, and yell you know. 
Blah blah blah .
 
 I noticed on Gone Country he seemed so sad, I know he is alone now; he and
Stephanie Niznik have apparently broken up.  He mentioned d on Gone Country
that he “would like a woman who, like Johnny Cash would walk the line with
him.” However, he has dated a bevy of beauties, all of whom seem to run
screaming out the door.  No doubt, because of his looks, he has arrogance
problems, and he has some anger management issues as well.  The second episode
of Gone Country, he totally lost it, and he did freak out the cast, and John
Rich.  He also seems to have some issues dealing with the death of his Mother,
who, according to what he said on Gone Country died back in 2001.  Granted, I
have loved ones I still grieved for, but he truly seems to be having a hard time
getting past it.  According to a recent US article he is single again, but I
think he has some commitment issues.  He also looks a little haggard.  He did
look alarmingly thin on Gone
Country, and some nasty gossip web sites suggested he has anorexia.  There is
this one website that trashes him something awful, they refer to him as a
“douche-bag”

However, I think he is beautiful; there was something about him that drove me
nuts.  I love those deep, dark, sexy brown eyes, the lush full lips, that
amazing sexy voice with the hint of the New York accent, and that sexy bad boy
image.  He was, in his younger days, a hottie!  He sure was poison for the
females.  He was the boy NOT to bring home to mommy and daddy!

Yes I saw him on Gone Country and he had a good voice. I still love him but I
think he has issues that he is dealing with. (I don't know what)

Diane I totally agree. No one is ever sending things about Richard. I also
signed up for Tiffany (singer from 80's) and I get at least one email everyother
day.
I contacted Yahoo and they say the spam situation is called Worm. So just ignore
it and delete. I wish I knew how to make it stop. It happens about once a six
weeks.
