Burton was the best stage actor of all time.

@RichardElden Peter O'Toole is just about the greatest actor in the world, so naturally he stole the movie from him. He does that in every movie, that can't be helped. So I agree with you.
-
That might have been the movie that I read about where he needed much instruction bc he was having a hard time playing the innocent guy. He did play a couple priests, so , don't know which argument side that goes on. LOL

@tammymc65 In Becket he played a saint, and was fabulous at it...kinda ironic...
-
@RichardElden Yes, that would've been much less tragic...
-
@RichardElden Sorry, that is not true. He was one of the best actors. One does not have to be a great person to be a great actor.
-
@RichardElden yes I agree, cerebral haemorrage can be tragic.
-
Well, I didn't know him personally, but if he backed the Black Panthers like has been recorded, maybe he was, but I still love him!
-
I think that I remembered reading that although he was certainly considered one of the best stage actors of his time,and maybe of all time, that he did have a flaw. He could not act well in a role that called for him to be innocent. Guess it was too much a stretch. Like many actors (including Liz), their best works were often the more autobiographical ones.

I don't like Burton unless he's with Peter O'Toole (O'Toole always seemed to bring out the best in him), but I will admit he's very attractive. This is proof...
When Julie Andrews went on the Ed Sullivan Show in 1961 it was basically her audition for Mary Poppins, because Don DaGradi and The Sherman Brothers saw her performance and immediately informed Walt Disney about Julie, and Walt went to go watch her performing in Camelot and then asked her to be Mary Poppins, she said no because of pregnancy and Disney told her that they would wait (how very sweet of him).
Julie looks so beautiful in this she is pure inside and out, I will always love Julie. x

So wish I could find a copy of the televised version of the play with Andrews and Burton I saw as a child in the seventies. It's what made me fall in love with musicals. sigh.
