Quotes

#Quote1I gave it a try once ... Intimacy with a man. How can you know you don't like caviar if you never tried it?2In the course of preparing myself ... I realized afresh that I hate Churchill and all of his kind. I hate them virulently. They have stalked down the corridors of endless power all through history ... What man of sanity would say on hearing of the atrocities committed by the Japanese against British and Anzac prisoners of war, 'We shall wipe them out, every one of them, men, women, and children. There shall not be a Japanese left on the face of the earth.'? Such simple-minded cravings for revenge leave me with a horrified but reluctant awe for such single-minded and merciless ferocity.3I have achieved a sort of diabolical fame.4Stripped, I am monstrous.5Having discovered sex, I began looting and plundering it with great delight.6Actors are poor, abject, disagreeable, perverse, ill-minded, slightly malicious creatures. And of that august company of idiots, I'm afraid I'm a member.7I'm more aware than I used to be of the tedium of acting. (1984)8The learned doctors told me if I continued to booze I should be prepared to welcome the end.9You reach the top of the heap, but it's a circle, and you slip on the down side; maybe for years. You get scared. (1982)10If I had a chance for another life, I would certainly choose a better complexion.11[on ]: I'd hate to be her next director or leading man. I think she firmly believes herself to be the legitimate heir to Rachelle or Bernhardt or Duse. She has all the power of a gnat. A dying one. I could whisper louder than her screams.12[on , July, 1970]: He really is a smugly pompous little bastard and is cavalier about everybody except Black Panthers and Indians.13[on , November, 1966]: He is a genuinely good man, I suspect, and he is intelligent. He has depth. It's no accident that he is such a compelling actor. He puts on acts, of course, and pretends to be vaguer than he is. Very little misses him, as I've noticed.14Everywhere you go, there's somewhere shoving a chair under your bum, and if you take out a cigarette there are eighty-four people jumping up to light it and tell you how wonderful you are. And you know it's not true.15Generally if you mention the word Shakespeare in Hollywood, everybody leaves the room.16Shakespeare [is] the best way to learn English.17Marc Antony is one of the great roles because it combines some of the best dialogue Shakespeare ever wrote and action; Antony was a man of action.18You haven't heard the real beauty of the Bible until you have heard it in Welsh.19I got away from the valley and proceeded to drink myself to death elsewhere.20 has yet to learn to speak. He should have been born two generations before and acted in silent films.21I have always felt that the camera hasn't liked me. I'm a stage animal. I have to be big and loud, and the camera needs you to be small and naturalistic and subtle; much more naturalistic. I'm as subtle as a buffalo stampede.22I drank too much, smoked too much and made love too much.23Although I like to be thought of as a tough rugby-playing Welsh miner's son, able to take on the world, the reality is that this image is just superficial. I am the reverse of what people think.24None of my films has done me any good. I know all epics are awful, but I thought (1956) might be the first good one. I was wrong. They cut it about - played down to the audience. I say if the audience doesn't understand, let 'em stay ignorant.25I have a fair choice of women myself if I wish. But I don't wish it. Since Elizabeth, I have seen two. I've a fundamental and basic loyalty. Next year I'll be fifty and I've only been married twice. Yes, I betrayed them both a couple of times, but not mentally, only physically. You see, I may fall in love and it may last six months, but then the affair breaks up. (1974)26 (1953) was lousy, but an almighty hit. I was dull as ditchwater and an almighty flop. My next film, (1955), was Hollywood's first turkey in CinemaScope - when CinemaScope was new and hotter than a pistol. If I'd been able to buttonhole a couple of relatives and persuade a few of the deluded girls I'd done favours for, I'd still have struggled to rustle up nine lost souls to form a fan club.27You can't be at the mercy of fate, you've got to invest so you don't ever need to work again.28My friends are not actors, they are scientists, they are writers. My real gift is writing.29Last Tango in Paris [ (1972)] so absolutely revolted and embarrassed me that I didn't know where to look ... I said, 'I'm sorry, I can't stand it, I have to go. It did not turn me on, it turned me off. For a month I was asexual.30As says, who gives a shit? We're born, we come staggering out the womb, we come searching for death. My father was a Welsh miner, a remarkable man. Tough, powerful. Obese. Short. I come from an enormous family - thirteen children. My eldest sister was having a baby. I didn't understand it. I said, 'Will she be all right? Will she live?' My father - he was massively drunk - was worried too. 'Never mind,' he said, 'we're all dying.' He talked like an angel. 'Even your growing pains are reaching into oblivion.'31I've been in trouble all my life, I've done the most unutterable rubbish, all because of money. I didn't need it - I've never needed money, even as a child, though I came from a very poor family. But there have been times when the lure of the zeros was simply too great.32Actors go through cycles - remarkable, weird cycles. There was one period from 1956 to 1961 or so when I couldn't do anything right. My voice went foul, my luck was bad, I chose badly. I thought I had lost what I had, and I nearly retired right then and there.33My real interest in life is the theatre, and I think I've shot my bolt in London as far as the classical roles are concerned. I've played all the parts I think I can play, and one or two that I should have given a miss. But there is nothing left until I'm older and can play parts like Lear. (1957)34One big picture is worth ten small ones. The actor who is fortunate enough to get two or possibly three big subjects a year benefits from their long runs. He's never absent long from public view.35I get increasingly disenchanted with acting ... as the years totter past I find it ludicrous, learning some idiot's lines in the small hours of the night so I can stay a millionaire. (1972)36I'm not dedicated, I never was. In a sense I'm totally alienated from the craft that I employ so superficially and successfully. (1970)37It seems fairly ridiculous for someone of forty-five or fifty to be learning words written by other people, most of which are bad, to make a few dollars.38As the seventh son of a Welsh miner I knew hardship first hand. I come from the lower depths of the working class. It's true that I now earn one and a quarter of a million dollars per picture, and it sounds strange to say that at heart I am a Communist, but there is no contradiction because I don't exploit others.39Rubbish ... tastelessly sentimental and badly acted by me. - On (1953)40If you're going to make rubbish, be the best rubbish in it. I keep telling Larry Olivier that. I chided Olivier for playing a minor role in an epic like (1960), which he's just done. Larry had a dressing room half the size of ' in that film. And he got about half Curtis' money. Well, that's ridiculous. You've got to swank in Hollywood. When I go there I demand two Cadillacs - one for my family - and the best dressing room in the studio. Of course I'm not worth it, but it impresses them.41I am the son of a Welsh miner and one would expect me to be at my happiest playing peasants, people of the earth. But in actual fact I'm much happier playing princes and kings. Now whether this is a kind of sublimation of what I would like to be, or something like that, I don't know, but certainly I'm never really very comfortable playing people from the working class. (1967)42The unfortunate thing is that everyone wants me to play a prince or a king ... I'm always wearing a nightdress or a short skirt or something odd. I don't want to do them, I don't like them, I hate getting made up for them, I hate my hair being curled in the mornings, I hate tights, I hate boots, I hate everything. I'd like to be in a lounge suit, I'd like to be a sort of Welsh and do nothing except lounge against a bar with a gin and tonic in my hand. (1963)43Once you have a drink problem, you always have one. Once an alcoholic, always an alcoholic. But, er, I'm not quite sure whether I am one or not. I think I'm within striking distance of being one. (1977)44God put me on this earth to raise sheer hell.45[on (1956)] I knew all epics are crap but I felt this one could be different.

But then, so were most of us actors.60An actor is something less than a man, while an actress is something more than a woman.61Richard Burton is now my epitaph, my cross, my title, my image. I have achieved a kind of diabolical fame. It has nothing to do with my talents as an actor. That counts for little now.

She asked if I would stop loving her if she had to spend the rest of her life in a wheelchair. I told her that I didn't care if her legs, bum and bosoms fell off and her teeth turned yellow. And she went bald. I love that woman so much sometimes that I cannot believe my luck. She has given me so much.68All great art comes from people who are either ugly or have a terrible inferiority complex. I know no one who is beautiful and produces art.69All I wanted to do was to live, pick up a new Jag, and act at the Old Vic.70The only thing in life is language. Not love. Not anything else.71[asked why he refused to see his performance in (1963)] Well, I don't want to kill myself.72You may be as vicious about me as you please. You will only do me justice.73I rather like my reputation, actually, that of a spoiled genius from the Welsh gutter, a drunk, a womanizer; it's rather an attractive image.74My father said all actors were homosexuals. That is nonsense, of course. But perhaps most actors are latent homosexuals and we cover it with drink. I was a homosexual once, but not for long. But I tried it. It didn't work so I gave it up. (1975)75I have to think hard to name an interesting man who does not drink.76I've played the lot: a homosexual, a sadistic gangster, kings, princes, a saint, the lot. All that's left is a Carry On film. My last ambition.77[in 1963, about adultery] The minute you start fiddling around outside the idea of monogamy, nothing satisfies anymore.78My father considered that anyone who went to chapel and didn't drink alcohol was not to be tolerated. I grew up in that belief.79I've done the most awful rubbish in order to have somewhere to go in the morning.80[replying to a cable from at the height of the (1963) scandal: "Make up your mind, dear heart. Do you want to be a great actor or a household word?"] Both.81When I played drunks I had to remain sober because I didn't know how to play them when I was drunk.

Facts

#Fact1By 1967 he had bursitis, arthritis and dermatitis.2His film performances were often criticized for lacking emotion.3According to his listing in Quinlan's Film Stars published 2000 the film Lovespell aka Tristan and Isolte was made in 1979 and was unreleased.4In Italy for the filming of (1963), he became so frustrated with the numerous delays during its production, he begged for a part in the Longest Day just so he could do some work.and was given a cameo role of an RAF pilot. who was also filming Cleopatra did the same and ended up with a small role as an American soldier.5He had an excellent memory and had no difficulty remembering lines until he was fifty. However when he starred in "Equus" on Broadway in 1976 he had great difficulty learning the lines. Burton had not acted on stage for twelve years. He turned down offers to play "King Lear" on stage in Canada in 1978 and 1983 because he said he could no longer remember lines.6Mentioned in the song "GMF" by : "Half of the time I think I'm in some movie, I play the underdog of course / I wonder who they'll get to play me, maybe they could dig up Richard Burton's corpse".7 (1968) was his last major hit at the box office. (1978) was successful in Europe but completely flopped in North America.8He always wore built up shoes in films and in real life.9In a 1977 interview with , describing a five-year period which he barely remembers because of his heavy drinking, Burton recounts introducing himself to 'a very distinguished actor... an American' at a party and the other actor replying, 'Kid, we did a film together! Lasted four months!' The gravelly voice he puts on sounds very like that of , with whom he made (1974) shortly before drying out.10His last surviving sibling, younger brother Graham Jenkins, died in December 2015 aged 88.11He was accused of racism over remarks he made during a visit to South Africa.12According to his younger brother Graham Jenkins, Burton smoked at least 100 cigarettes a day, although Penny Junor's biography said he habitually smoked around 60 cigarettes a day. He gave up smoking for a time in 1980 after encouragement from his third wife.13Is one of 13 actors who have received an Academy Award nomination for his portrayal of a real-life king. The others in chronological order are for (1933), for (1938), for (1938), for (1944) and (1955), for (1948), for (1956), for (1964), for (1964) and (1968), for (1966), for (1989), for (1994), and for (2010).14He has two roles in common with : (1) Burton played Mark Antony in (1963) while James played him in (1964) and (2) Burton played King Henry VIII of England in (1969) while James played him in (1971). In both cases, James wore the costume which had originally been worn by Burton.15Has appeared in six films that were nominated for the Best Picture Oscar: (1953), (1962), (1963), (1964), (1966) and (1969).16Although his death was sudden, it was not much of a surprise to those who knew him. Burton's health had been declining for several years prior to his death, and he suffered from constant and severe neck pain. He had been warned that his liver was enlarged as early as March 1970, and had been diagnosed with cirrhosis of the liver and kidney disease in April 1981 due to alcoholism. He had a brush with death during the shooting of (1974) when he nearly drank himself to death. Burton was dried out at Saint John's Health Center in Santa Monica, California.17According to his listing in Quinlan's Film Stars published 2000, the film (1981) aka Tristan and Isolte was made in 1979 and was unreleased.18He was passionate about books and was a voracious reader.19Guy Masterson was his great nephew.20Had a brother Ivor.21Received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on March 1, 2013 at 6336 Hollywood Boulevard, next to 's star.22He was well-known for his many acts of extraordinary generosity. For example, during the filming of crowd scenes for "Wagner", he noted that one of the extras would, during breaks in shooting, be in constant floods of tears. He discreetly inquired the reason for this and was told that she was newly-widowed and penniless and had taken the job as an extra in a desperate bid to raise money to pay her mortgage. That same week, she found that her mortgage had been paid off in full by Burton, to whom she had never even spoken.23His attack on Sir in 1974 was widely thought to have been occasioned by the fact that he was, at the time, engaged to Princess Elizabeth of Yugoslavia - who was, of course, a princess in exile. She blamed Churchill and other western leaders for giving away her country to the Communists at the end of World War II. Burton's engagement to her was soon broken off.24According to his biography "And God Created Burton", he was a notorious womanizer; during his marriage to he had affairs with , , , , and , and during his marriage to he had affairs with , and .25Like many Welshmen, where the game is more a national religion than a sport, Burton played rugby. He continued to play well into his early career, mainly at wing-forward. He only hung up his boots when contractual obligations to film and theatre producers forced him to do so.26Was at one point going to star in (1972) with .27Was named "The Worst Actor of All Time" in and 's 1980 book "The Golden Turkey Awards", beating out , , and . In so naming Burton, the Medveds cited the preponderance of big-budget film flops he starred in, and the overall squandering of his acting potential for much of his career. Burton's (1972) had been listed among "The Fifty Worst Films of All Time," and (1977) was named the second-worst film of all time (behind (1959)) in the 1978 book of the same name by and .28His younger brother Graham Jenkins worked for the BBC and was responsible for getting Burton the job of narrating the Royal Wedding of 'Prince Charles' and for BBC Radio on 29 July 1981. There had been some concern that Burton would say something controversial, given his past attacks on Churchill. However, as it turned out he made only one mistake during the five hour broadcast.29In 1981 he accepted a contract reported to be worth nearly $1 million over three years to use his voice in a series of commercials for an American magazine, "Geo".30He would often tell interviewers that he had played Hamlet on the London stage when he was 23. He was in fact nearly 28 at the time.31In the last seven years of his life he constantly resisted offers to play Lear on stage, instead preferring to make films like (1978).32Was offered the role of Thomas More in (1966), but he turned the part down. , who went on to win a Best Actor Oscar for his performance, was cast instead.33After being forced to drop out of the touring production of "Camelot" in April 1981 in order to undergo major spinal surgery - during which his entire spinal column was found to be coated in crystallized alcohol - Burton contemplated retiring completely from acting, but later agreed to star in (1981).34Producer wanted Burton to play Napoleon Bonaparte in (1970), but the role went to instead.35Met with , whom he greatly admired, before starring in (1973).36Underwent treatment for alcoholism at a clinic in America after filming (1974).37While playing Dr. Dysart in "Equus" on Broadway in 1976, Burton was so impressed by co-star that he offered to play the Friar with Firth as Romeo. Firth did play Romeo on stage, but Burton was not cast.38While filming (1984), he suffered from a terrible pain in his neck and had to wear a neck brace during rehearsals. He had to wear heavy make up in the film, since the director felt he looked twenty years older than his age. He minimized his famous voice for the part of O'Brien, although he had great difficulty remembering the lines and would sometimes require nearly forty takes to get a scene right. The result was one of his most critically acclaimed performances, and well as his most underplayed.39He was a close friend of .40He refused to attend his father's funeral in 1957.41 (1966) ran over schedule, causing Burton to pull out of (1967), which instead went to .42While starring as King Arthur in the musical "Camelot" in 1961, Burton told his co-star that she was his only leading lady he had not slept with.43An article Burton wrote in memory of his longtime friend, Sir , following the actor's death in June 1976, caused so much offence that Baker's widow, Lady , considered suing Burton. However, shortly afterwards, she recalled standing near the tree where Baker's ashes had been scattered and hearing his voice saying, "You know what Rich is like when he's in his cups".44He had smoked since he was eight, reaching five packs of cigarettes a day in middle age.45He was a close friend of fellow Welsh actor Sir from childhood, and provided the narration for Baker's epic film (1964).46In November 1974, Burton was asked to write an article about Sir for "The New York Times". Since Burton had just played the wartime leader in (1974), the newspaper expected a laudatory piece. Instead they were presented with a rant about Churchill the right-wing politician, whom Burton wrote, "to know him is to hate him".47Following the release of (1953), his first Hollywood production, the critics would accuse Burton of being a wooden film actor, a charge that would stay with him throughout his career. It was not until (1965) that critics would be unanimous in their praise of his performance, yet after an excellent five years his mastery of film technique had seemingly deserted him and much of his later work, such as (1971) and (1977), would be dismissed by many as overacting.48Recorded his sessions for the 's musical version of "The War of the Worlds" in two afternoon sessions in New York between film making.49According to Burton's diaries, when he and appeared on the (1968) (episode: "Lucy Meets the Burtons"), he was appalled by the tedium of shooting the show. He found 's meticulous professionalism to be ludicrous as he felt it was out of place on a TV show. Lucy was entirely focused on making the show work, and Burton -- who thought it would be a lark -- didn't have any fun on the set. He was quite impressed by Ball's co-star , but was dismayed that Lucy, personally, directed him to play his "part" -- which was himself, after all -- very broad so that he was shouting. When he did shout, she told him that he was finally playing comedy as it should be played. The episode featured Lucy meeting Burton, who was fleeing the press and hid in her office, and then Liz, and putting on Liz's 69-carat, pear-shaped stone diamond, which became stuck to her her finger.50 became quite friendly with Burton's wife while shooting (1967). agreed to pick up her Best Actress Award for (1966) from the New York Film Critics Circle. When made his appearance at the NYFCC Award ceremony at Sardi's on January 29, 1967, he hectored the critics, querying them as to why they hadn't recognized before. He then flew to Dahomey, Africa where was shooting (1967) with Burton to personally deliver the award, a development Burton thought odd. Later in the 1960s, Marlon Brando' socialised with the Burtons, visiting them on their famous yacht the Kalizma, while they plied the Mediterreanean. 's ex-wife , in her book "Brando for Breakfast" (1979), claimed that and Burton got into a fist-fight aboard the yacht, probably over , but nothing of the incident appears in Burton's voluminous diaries. In his diaries, Burton found to be quite intelligent but believed he suffered, like did, from becoming too famous too early in his life and believed their affinity for one another was based on this. (Both and would later befriend , another superstar-cum-legend who had become too famous too soon.) Burton recognized as a great actor, but felt he would have been more suited to silent films due to the deficiency in his voice (the famous "mumble"). As a silent film star, Burton believed would have been the greatest motion picture actor ever.51In 1969, Richard Burton bought his second wife one of the world's largest diamonds from the jeweller Cartier after losing an auction for the 69-carat, pear-shaped stone to the jeweller, which was won with a $1 million bid. also failed in his bid to win the diamond, which he intended to give his wife . The rough diamond that would yield the prized stone weighed 244 carats and was found in 1966 at South Africa's Premier mine. cut and polished the diamond, which was put up for auction in 1969. Burton purchased the diamond from Cartier the next day for $1,069,000 (approximately $6 million in 2005 dollars) to give to . The small premium Cartier charged Burton was in recognition of the great publicity the jewellery garnered from selling the stone, which was dubbed the "Burton-Cartier Diamond", to the then-"world's most famous couple". Ten years later, the twice-divorced-from-Burton herself auctioned off the "Burton-Taylor Diamond" to fund a hospital in Botswana. The last recorded sale of the "Burton-Taylor Diamond" was in 1979 for nearly $3,000,000 to an anonymous buyer in Saudi Arabia. The ring was the centre of the classic (1968) episode "Lucy Meets the Burtons" in 1970, in which Lucy Carter, played by , gets the famous ring stuck on her finger. The actual ring was used and the episode was the highest rated episode of the very popular series.52Burton and were Royal Air Force cadets together at Oxford in 1944. In the years 1944-1947, when both were demobilized, they were stationed together at times in Canada and back in England. Later, they appeared together in (1965).53Frankly told the press that he appeared in the movies (1979), (1981) and (1981) (generally considered by critics to be three of his worse films, all of them critical and box office disasters that eroded the reputation he had recently fought back to reclaim with his appearance on stage and screen in (1977)) for the money. Burton, who had effectively been cleaned out financially by his two divorces from second wife , was paid $750,000 for each picture (approximately $2.25 million in 2005 terms). Conversely, he was willing to appear in (1978) at the same time for one-sixth his fee as he believed in the project very strongly.54His divorce from third wife Susan Hunt, whom he was married to from 1976 to 1982, entailed a settlement of $1 million (approximately $2 million in 2005 terms) and a house he owned in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico (his first house in Puerto Vallarta was lost to second wife during his first divorce from her).55According to his long-time friend , the son of the man who had given Burton his first professional break , Burton turned down a role in The Sea Wolves: The Last Charge of the Calcutta Light Horse in 1980, which reunited (1978) director , screenwriter and co-star . (1978) had been a big hit (Burton was always popular and a box office draw in military roles) and had directed Burton's post- (1978) film (1979), but Burton turned it down. believed that Burton's third wife, , didn't want Burton away on a lark with his old friends (and drinking companions) as he was in frail health and battling alcoholism at the time.56At the time of his death in 1984, he was slated to reprise his role as Colonel Allen Faulkner in (1985) and had signed on to star as the English journalist in a remake of 's (1958). (1985) went ahead with taking over his part (the film is dedicated to Burton), but the production of "The Quiet American" was canceled.57Loved to do crossword puzzles and was dismayed that American newspapers' crosswords were more geared towards encyclopedic information rather than puns and wordplay.58Planned on going back to the stage to appear in 's "Richard III" and "King Lear". His staging of "Richard III" would have been based on the ideas of his step-father, , to bring together all of 's dramatization of Richard, Duke of Glouster (later Richard III) from the "Henry VI" trilogy. Burton had planned on visiting his step-father in Florida in early 1985 to work on the project.59According to 's biography (that was based on Burton's own diaries) in 1959, he turned down an offer of $350,000 (approximately $2.25 million in 2005 terms) to star as "Christ" in 's remake of (1961) due to superstition. A Welsh-Irish drunkard had read the palms of Burton and some friends, including , who were performing poetry on B.B.C. Radio's "Third Programme" and were waiting for show-time in a local pub. The drunk predicted the friends' deaths, which in the case of , was accurate. After two other friends died within their prescribed time frames, Burton (who had been told he would die at the age of 33) decided to take the year 1959 off so as not to tempt fate. Although he thought might make a good film and was keen to shoot on location in Spain, Burton, who already was a millionaire and did not need the money, turned the offer down. For the same reason, he also turned down the role played by in 's (1960), which was shot in Durango, Mexico.60Was actively pursued for the role of "The Pilot" in the proposed film of (1974). Burton had had a huge success on Broadway with Lerner & Lowe's ( & ) (1967), but had turned down that film as he did (1974). The role of "The Pilot" subsequently was played by .61After his second wife 's close friend died before shooting began on (1967), Burton briefly considered taking over the vacated role of the closeted homosexual Major Weldon Penderton that had been slated for . Though Burton would later play homosexual parts in (1969) and (1971), it was thought that he would not be a good fit for the role of an American soldier. The part subsequently went to , who gave what critics now believe was one of his greatest performances. and became friends, giving Burton a chance to socialize with America's greatest actor.62In addition to being honored with a Special Tony Award in 1976 for his triumphant return to Broadway after 12 years in (1977), he was nominated three times for a Tony, winning once, in 1961 for Best Actor in a Musical for "Camelot". His other nominations were in 1958 (for Best Actor in Play) for "Time Remembered" and in 1964 (for Best Actor in Play) for (1964).63The producers of the film (1977), who envisioned either or in the role of the psychiatrist "Martin Dysart" in the film version, would only consider Burton for the role if he agreed to undertake a screen-test of sorts by playing the role on Broadway. Though considered one of the most brilliant theatre actors of his generation, Burton had not been on the professional stage in a dozen years (though he had appeared in an Oxford Undergradate Dramatic Society production of Doctor Faustus (which subsequently was filmed as (1967)) in 1966. Having suffered a slew of failures since 1970 that had undermined his bankability as a movie star, Burton agreed to take on the grueling role for a 12-week run. Though he was scheduled for his Broadway debut on a Sunday, he took over a Saturday matinée for the departing (who had received excellent notices after taking over for , Burton's fellow Welshman who had grown up in his neighborhood in Wales and who had won a 1975 Drama Desk Award Outstanding Actor in a Play for originating Dysart on Broadway). The film producers frankly were worried that Burton's alcoholism, which had nearly killed him during the production of (1974), had not only destroyed his powers as an actor but his stamina also. Their fears were borne out the first night when a nervous Burton stumbled during the matinée. However, by Sunday's show, with the vultures out to see a great actor brought low, Burton wowed the audience with a brilliant performance. Burton astounded theatre-goers and the critics, winning himself a Special Tony Award and the role in the film. (His run was extended another two weeks due to demand to see the legendary thespian and hell-raiser and easily could have gone on for many more weeks had Burton chosen to remain with the play.) Burton's career was recharged. The momentum of Burton's professional renaissance nearly brought him an Academy Award in 1978, but sadly, it was reckoned that the performance caught on film by director was only a pale shadow of the genius that had been on show on Broadway. (Ironically, this was the charge that had plagued Burton in his early career, that the talent, the genius, did not come through the lens to be caught on film. Burton himself said he did not learn to act on film until he co-starred with in (1963).) Reverting to his 1970s habit of poor film choices, such as (1977) and (1978) tarnished Burton's newly burnished lustre too and beat him for the Oscar in his seventh (and last) Oscar nomination. Although he worked steadily until his death, Burton's post- (1977) career never gained any real traction and he never again was a bankable star.64His 1964 performance of "Hamlet" is the longest run of the play in Broadway history with 137 performances. It broke the record held by , who played the part for 132 performances and who directed Burton's Broadway production.65Won a Grammy in the "Best Recording for Children" category for "The Little Prince" (featuring and ). [1975]66Circa 1970, Burton's fellow Celt (and cinema superstar) , who had received excellent reviews for his portrayal of the doomed king in a 1960 Canadian television version of "Macbeth", hoped to launch a big-screen version of the Scottish play. 's plans were foiled when 's version went into production for 's Playboy Productions. Burton, who had won a reputation as the best "Hamlet" of his generation, was also interested in launching a film version of "Macbeth" at the same time. He had just had a great cinema success in the period piece (1969), for which he won his sixth and penultimate Oscar nomination, and he told his friend Sir that he wanted to make a movie of "Macbeth" with himself as the eponymous king and his wife as Lady Macbeth. Burton's plans came to naught for the same reason as 's did. A decade earlier, Sir - the greatest "Macbeth" of the 20th Century - had also failed to bring the play to the big screen. The future Lord had hoped to film his own version of the play in the late 1950s, but the failure of his movie (1955) to make back its money frustrated his plans. Producer , 's third husband, told in 1958 that he likely would produce the film with as "Macbeth" and 's real-life wife, , as his Lady, but that hope died in the plane crash that claimed 's life. Thus, the famous "Macbeth" curse adversely affected three of the greatest actors of the 20th Century.67He was forced to drop out of the Los Angeles run of "Camelot" in April 1981 due to crippling back pain, most likely caused by his chronic bursitis. Doctors at the hospital couldn't understand how he had managed to entertain live audiences night after night. His entire spinal column was found to be coated in crystallized alcohol. At first the doctors couldn't operate because Burton was three stone underweight, so he had to remain in bed to build up his strength. His backbone was rebuilt in a delicate operation that could easily have left him paralyzed for life if something had gone wrong. Burton called his friend to replace him as King Arthur, and then returned to his home in Switzerland to recover.68He and starred together in 11 movies: (1966); (1963); (1972); (1967); (1965); (1972); (1967); (1973); (1967); (1963) and (1968).69Since had been sterilized in 1957 (at age 25, after giving birth to three children), she and adopted a German orphan, Maria (born 1961) in 1962. Fisher surrendered his parental rights before they divorced and Richard adopted the girl as his daughter, legally re-naming her Maria Burton.70Won the 1951 Theatre World Award for "The Lady's Not For Burning".71Was nominated for a 1958 Tony Award for Best Actor in a Play for "Time Remembered". Three years later he won a 1961 Tony Award for Best Actor in a Musical for "Camelot", and three years after that, he was again nominated for a Tony Award for Best Actor in a Play for his 1964 "Hamlet", which was directed by his mentor . Burton also received a Special Tony Award in 1976 after appearing as a replacement in "Equus". Like his friends and , Burton was an unique and utterly electrifying stage actor whom commanded the rapt attention of his audience.72In 1961 he won a Tony Award for playing King Arthur in the original production of Lerner & Loewe's ( and ) Broadway musical "Camelot". When the film was in pre-production in the mid-1960s Burton turned down an attractive offer to reprise the role and was cast as The Once & Future King. Burton subsequently appeared in the 1980 Broadway revival of the musical, which played a total of 56 performances on the Great White Way before the production went on the road. During the road tour, Burton was replaced by as he was debilitated by crippling bursitis of the shoulder which eventually prevented him from handling a sword. Pain-killers did not help so he dropped out of the show and he was once again "replaced" by in the role.73He was engaged to (Serbia & Montenegro) between the time of his two marriages to . Princess Elizabeth is the mother of whom he later coached on acting.74He and his then wife were very close friends with the famous president of Yugoslavia (Serbia), Marshall . They spent many vacations with him at his villa on the Yugoslavian Adriatic coast line as well as being a frequent guest at his mansion in Belgrade. He later played his close friend in the 1972 Yugoslavian film (1973) (The Fifth Offensive).75Won Broadway's 1961 Tony Award as Best Actor (Musical) for "Camelot" as well as a Special Award in 1976. He was also twice nominated for Tony Awards as Best Actor (Dramatic): for "Time Remembered" (1954) and for "Hamlet" (1964).76Was a great fan of baseball, which he followed avidly when he was in America. Burton thought Pulitzer Prize-winning baseball columnist was a brilliant writer. Burton played softball with a team from the Broadway theatre in the 1980s, despite crippling bursitis in his shoulder.77He once got into a contest with , whom he greatly admired, in which they tried to out-do the other by quoting 's sonnets. Both were word-perfect, and Burton was forced to "win" the contest by quoting one of the sonnets backwards.78His friend tried to interest him in taking over the National Theatre after his imminent retirement from the post. He declined, feeling that the board of directors had treated the great shabbily.79Was famous for his high intelligence and for being incredibly well-read. Burton was widely admired for his command and understanding of English poetry, which he taught for a term at Oxford University in the early 1970s.80Was the best man at 's marriage to in New York City on March 17, 1961. Both were appearing on Broadway at the time, he in "Camelot" and in "Becket".81Had to turn down the lead role of the British Consul in 's adaptation of 's (1984) as he was appearing in a touring production of 's "Private Lives" co-starring with . The role was subsequently played by , who won an Oscar nomination as Best Actor.82His movie contracts contained a clause that he did not have to work on the 1st of March, St David's Day, the day honoring the patron saint of Wales.83He, , and all were born within a 10-mile radius in south-western Wales.84His mother died when he was two-years old. He was taken in and raised by his older sister, Cis, and her husband in the same Port Talbot, Wales, neighborhood where fellow Welshman later lived in as a child. "I shone in the reflection of her green-eyed, black-haired gypsy beauty," Burton said of his sister/surrogate mother.85During World War II, he was admitted to Exeter College, Oxford to take the "University Short Course" for six months as a Royal Air Force cadet. While at Oxford in 1943-1944, he was a member of the Oxford University Dramatic Society. Cadets were promised that they could return to Oxford to complete their education after the war, but he did not, instead becoming a professional actor after being demobilized in 1947. Almost thirty years later, he was invited back to Oxford to teach poetry to undergraduates for a semester.86He was on a flight to California from Mexico, when he ran into a young man interested in acting. Burton encouraged him to pursue it full time during their conversation. That young man was , who promptly left his marketing job to pursue an acting career.87He once bought a complete set of "The Everyman Library" for as a present.88He taught to future actress when she was 13 and 14 years old.89Died shortly after the filming of (1984) was completed. He was in terrible health during filming from years of alcoholism and heavy smoking, and had to wear a neck brace during rehearsals.90Was a drinking partner of and until O'Toole was forced to give up drinking after surgery in 1976.91Burton received the first retrospective of his work since his death during Bradford Film Festival 2002 - almost 18 years after his death on Sunday, August 5, 1984. Twelve films were screened, among them (1959), (1964), (1977) and (1984), his final picture. The festival, which christened its Burton season Lion of the Welsh, also featured a strand on legendary unfinished films that included a clip of Burton in (1969), a movie from which he was allegedly fired by director . The picture, based on the novel by , was shut down and eventually made with in Burton's role.92Grandfather of .93He was awarded the CBE (Commander of the Order of the British Empire) in the 1970 Queen's Birthday Honours List for his services to drama. He collected this award on his 45th birthday with his older sister Cis, who raised him as a child, and his wife .94Had two daughters by his first wife, . Actress (born 1957) and Jessica (born 1961), who was diagnosed as profoundly autistic and would eventually be institutionalized.95The twelfth of thirteen children, he insisted that his way out of an impoverished Welsh childhood was due not to acting, but to books.96Suffered from acute insomnia.97He made his stage debut at Maesteg Town Hall in Wales.98He died on Sunday, August 5, 1984, less than a week before he was due to begin shooting (1985), a sequel to his successful mercenary thriller (1978), made in 1978. He was the only actor returning for the film and, as Colonel Allen Faulkner, would have led a team of crack mercenaries to spring aged Nazi from Spandau Prison in Berlin. Burton's death caused huge problems for producer , the man behind the original (1978) and its follow-up, (1985). With the rest of the cast (, and (playing Hess)) in place, had just a handful of days to find a replacement for Burton. He selected British actor , who joined the cast as Alex Faulkner, Burton's brother. Burton's no-show in the film was explained by one character telling that they'd heard his famous warrior brother had died. The film was dedicated to Burton's memory.99Spoke Cymraeg (Welsh-language) as mother tongue.100He once shared the record with for the most Oscar acting nominations (7) without a single win. In 2007, that record was broken, when O'Toole was nominated and lost yet again for the film (2006).101Interred at Protestant Churchyard, Céligny, Switzerland.102Father of .103He took his professional name from his schoolmaster and tutor, , who took the 17-year old Richard Jenkins and groomed him for success, both academically and as an actor. The two became so close, Burton attempted to adopt him as his son, but was prevented from doing so as he was too young, under the law. Nevertheless, Jenkins, who became known to the world as Richard Burton, considered his adopted father and honored him by taking on his surname. Years later, when met and she asked how he came to adopt her soon-to-be fifth (and later sixth) husband, Richard piped up, "He didn't adopt me! I adopted him!".
