This woman is so jelous and cruel, diluting herself, he married her to take care of him, he knew he was in poor health, like his mother. The love of his life was Elizabeth Taylor and you know Mrs. Burton, the vehicles they used on this earth are no longer needed, their souls will forever united minus the drink. You should be ashamed of yourself not letting her rest where HE would want her.
@helensjoy I totally agree. I was heart broken when Burton died. I thought he was the sexiest man I had ever laid my eyes on. Between that Voice, those eyes and chest. Damn Taylor was one lucky woman. You will never again see the likes of the acting talent that both Richard Burton & Elizabeth Taylor possessed. That Hollywood I'm afraid has been long gone for decades never to be seen again. His family welcomed Taylor to be buried in their family plot where Burton wanted to be buried. Cruel Indeed
@Longshotsblues Sexy doesn't even describe him but you are as close as you can get, to me he was the sexiest man that ever hit the screen and stage, what a pair, what an absolutely beautiful couple. Thank you for your comments about Sally. She is a very cruel person to have done this and I found out she lives in
Australia. So it was just nasty spite and jelousy for their love that she could never compete with.
Anyone who says that Richard Burton was anything less than a stellar actor, brilliant performer, and consummate genius onstage and screen, simply doesn't know what they are talking about.
He was a true star. The way he conducted himself interviews (check out Parkinson), his eloquence, his honesty, his humility. They don't make men like that anymore.
@silvertongue111 - I saw Wor of the Worlds last December. Its no wonder they use a Hologram of Burton's likeness to go with his voice. You could not imagine the Show without his voice, rich and soothing, the type of voice you cannot help but to listen to.
@stuart38 The Wild Geese was a racist movie which funded apartheid. No wonder it flopped in America. All the actors were far too old and obviously unfit. Burton's only decent film in the 1970s was Equus.
@stuart38 The Medusa Man was a stupid piece of crap which ended his career. Montgomery Clift was right, Burton couldn't act he just recited. A wooden film actor.
@92af richard burton was a great actor.come to wales,and say that in a pub i am in and i'll fit the glass i'm drinking from straight up your arse,you pointless wanker.
@stuart38 Burton was a talentless overacting ham who only copied Olivier. I wish he had died of LUNG CANCER like his infinitely more talented former friend Sir Stanley Baker.
A sad day, but also a great day. He lived life to the fullest as he knew its doom, it's tragedy. His revels may have ended but we the living must raise hell like as he did now. Good night sweet Prince!
He didn't care. Like Ollie, he didn't fear the pit of loomking darkness that is death. He suffered for years with cervical pain and frozen shoulders. He was a REAL MAN who loved to fuck women and massacre martinis and scotch. But above all of that bravado he was a great, GREAT actor. We'll never, NEVER see his likes again.
Actually he was openly bisexual and had anal and oral sex with Philip Burton, Emlyn Williams, Laurence Olivier and several other men. But more importantly he was a wooden overacting ham who just copied Olivier and couldn't act at all. I'm glad he died at only 58, pity it wasn't from LUNG CANCER.
@GordonMorrice so being a real man is fucking lots of women and being an alcoholic. He was a great actor. But those characteristics doesn not make a man - A REAL MAN.
@TheHoliday555 I don't think that he ever "trumpted" the benefits of drinking too much, but rather admitted to the negative effects that it had on him.
Burton was very lucky to die from a cerebral haemorrhage.
