Richard Burton

Richard Burton, CBE (10 November 1925 – 5 August 1984) was a Welsh stage and cinema actor noted for his mellifluous baritone voice and his great acting talent that many critics believed he squandered in an excess of hedonism. Establishing himself as a formidable Shakespearean actor in the 1950s and the purveyor of a memorable Hamlet in 1964, Burton was called "the natural successor to Olivier" by critic and dramaturg Kenneth Tynan. An alcoholic ,^] Burton's failure to live up to those expectations fueled his legend as the greatest thespian wastrel since John Barrymore, another great Hamlet whose career also foundered in a sea of alcohol . Burton was nominated seven times for an Academy Award without ever winning, a record. He was a recipient of BAFTA, Golden Globe and Tony Awards for Best Actor. In the mid-1960s, Burton ascended into the ranks of the top box office stars and by the late 1960s, was the highest-paid actor in the world, receiving fees of $1 million or more plus a share of the gross receipts .

Burton remains closely associated in the public consciousness with his second wife, actress Elizabeth Taylor. The couple's turbulent relationship was rarely out of the news
