An enduring true love story lies behind one of the most romantic TV series of all time.
The Thorn Birds had at its heart a love triangle featuring English actress Rachel Ward as Meggie, Richard Chamberlain as conflicted priest Ralph and Aussie actor Bryan Brown as Meggie’s future husband, Luke.
On screen, the passion was between Ralph and Meggie, while her marriage to Luke was not the stuff of fairy tales. But the actors playing them, Bryan and Rachel, did get their happy ever after.
