*”richard burton” was a welsh actor who was noted for his ‘mellifluous baritone voice’*
.
(‘burton’ established himself as a formidable Shakespearean actor in the 1950s, and he gave a memorable performance of ‘hamlet’ in 1964)
(he was called “the natural successor to Olivier” by critic and dramaturge ‘Kenneth Tynan’)
(an ‘alcoholic’, Burton’s failure to live up to those expectations disappointed critics and colleagues and fueled his legend as a great thespian ‘wastrel’)
(‘Burton’ was nominated for an ‘Academy Award’ 7 times, but never won an ‘Oscar’)
(he was a recipient of ‘BAFTAs’, ‘Golden Globes’, and ‘Tony Awards’ for ‘Best Actor’)
(in the mid-1960s, ‘Burton’ ascended into the ranks of the top box office stars, and by the late 1960s was one of the highest-paid actors in the world, receiving fees of $1 million or more plus a share of the gross receipts)
(‘burton’ remains closely associated in the public consciousness with his second wife, actress ‘elizabeth taylor’)
.
(the couple’s turbulent relationship was rarely out of ‘the news’)
