Richard Burton
British actor (1925–1984) | The Robe (1953), Where Eagles Dare (1968), The Spy Who Came in from the Cold (1965)
Welsh leading actor whose dark, brooding good looks did not bring him immediate film success either in Britain or Hollywood
Mini Biography
Burton’s 1963 marriage to Elizabeth Taylor helped him climb to the crest of stardom, as did their subsequent divorces and reunions. High living and a kind of contempt for his work kept him from the heights of both serious achievement and popular acclaim.
