ABOUT CHINA BEACH: THE COMPLETE SEASON THREE
Part EVAC hospital, part USO entertainment center, China Beach was an outpost of craziness and compassion that introduced audiences to the Vietnam War through the eyes of the women who served there. Created by William Broyles, Jr. and John Sacret Young, CHINA BEACH captured an extraordinary group of characters in this unique, exotic place where so many things came together -- horror and laughter, heroism and sacrifice, and unforgettable and iconic music.
This May, StarVista Entertainment/Time Life invites fans both new and old to hit the beach for the acclaimed third season of the series with CHINA BEACH: THE COMPLETE SEASON THREE.
The 6-disc set, which features all 22 uncut episodes from 1989-90 and a foot locker’s worth of bonus programming, will be available to add to every TV lover’s home entertainment collection for $29.95srp.
THE COMPLETE SEASON THREE explores the most unlikely relationship between nurse Colleen McMurphy (Dana Delany) and “entrepreneur” K.C. Kolowski (Marg Helgenberger). These opposite women forge a comradeship through the year, starting in the first episode, “The Unquiet Earth,” when both are held hostage in the notorious tunnels in Vietnam. The season also introduces Holly Pelegrino (Ricki Lake); brings a wonderful excursion into magical realism in “Skylark,” featuring Ruby Dee; takes Dodger (Jeff Kober) home; and jumps back in “F.N.G.” to when new “guys” Dr. Richard (Robert Picardo) and McMurphy first arrive in country, and freshly wounded Boonie Lanier (Brian Wimmer) encounters K.C.. Adding to the season are a roster of guest stars, many of whom – much like the cast -- would go on to much larger things: Vince Vaughn, Tom Sizemore, Thomas Haden Church, Don Cheadle, Helen Hunt and more.

ABOUT
In an era of testosterone-driven Vietnam movies such as Platoon, China Beach, created by award-winning journalist and Vietnam vet William Broyles, Jr. and John Sacret Young, delivered the war from a unique perspective: that of the women, military personnel and civilians who were present during the conflict. Set in the Vietnam locale of China Beach, at the “Five and Dime”, also known as the 510th Evacuation Hospital and R&R center, the cast was made up of US Army doctors and nurses, officers, soldiers, Red Cross volunteers and civilian personnel, either on leave or at the end of their tour of duty. Many episodes and story lines were based on real-life stories of those who served, stories brought to rich life by a supremely talented ensemble cast featuring many actors beginning to make their marks on the industry, including Dana Delany (First Lieutenant/Captain Nurse Colleen McMurphy), Marg Helgenberger (K.C. Kolowski), Michael Boatman (SP4 Sam Beckett), Robert Picardo (Captain Dr. Dick Richard) and Ricki Lake (Holly Pelegrino). The other side of the camera boasted such accomplished talents as multiple Emmy® Award-nominee series co-creator & executive producer John Sacret Young and co-executive producer John Wells, who would go on to executive produce “ER” and “The West Wing”. A critically-acclaimed fan favorite during its four year run (1988-1992), the highly touted show and its cast were the recipients of numerous industry accolades and awards including one Golden Globe® for Best Drama (1990), two Best Actress Emmy® Awards for Dana Delany (1989, 1992), a Best Supporting Actress award for Marg Helgenberger (1990), a People’s Choice Award for “Favorite New Dramatic TV Program” (1989), a prestigious Peabody Award, a Humanitas prize, a Writers Guild award, and 29 Emmy® Award nominations in total.
