Richard Burton's UNTOLD STRUGGLES Behind The Glamour

Описание: The Truth About Richard Burton (1925 - 1984) Richard Burton Life Story
Before John and Yoko, Charles and Diana, there were Dick and Liz. Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor were the ultimate ’60s celebrity couple — movie stars who launched a very public adulterous affair while making the cinematic disaster known as “Cleopatra.” The pair led an extravagant, heedless and alcohol-drenched lifestyle trailed by paparazzi across the globe, and churned out a series of mediocre films.

But they also starred in an exceptionally fine one. “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?,” adapted from Edward Albee’s hit Broadway play and directed by Mike Nichols, was a breakthrough movie both cinematically and culturally. Its blistering portrayal of modern marriage as a war of attrition between two lost souls served as a bridge between Hollywood’s fading studio system and the New Hollywood decade of more creative and risk-taking adult fare.

Richard Burton will always be remembered as one of Britain's greatest actors - both on the stage and screen.The Hollywood star - who's romance with Elizabeth Taylor dominated the headlines - died in 1984, leaving behind an incredible legacy. Noted for his baritone voice, he established himself as a formidable Shakespearean actor in the 1950s, and gave a memorable performance as Hamlet in 1964.

During his life Richard was nominated for an Academy Award seven times, but never won. Despite this, he is widely regarded as one of the finest actors of his generation. Burton wed Hollywood icon Elizabeth Taylor in 1964, and the two maintained a volatile relationship for years to come that included remarriage and two divorces.

Richard Burton was born Richard Walter Jenkins on November 10, 1925, in South Wales. Jenkins, the twelfth child of an impoverished coal miner, lost his mother when he was two years old. He would be taken under the wing of Philip Burton, a teacher who became the boy’s guardian and introduced him to the world of theater.
