Hollywood Walk of Fame Nomination for 2012 selectionRichard BurtonBRIEF BIOGRAPHY OF NOMlNEERichard Burton CBE was a Welshman who was widely accepted to be one of thegreatest actors of his generation. He was famously married to two time Oscar winnerElizabeth Taylor.Born on the 10thNovember 1925 as Richard Walter Jenkins in the mining village ofPontrhydyfen in Wales, he was the twelfth of thirteen children who grew up in a poorworking class, Welsh-speaking household. Burton's mother died in childbirth in t 927and her sister Cecilia brought him up in their Port Talbot house.He displayed a talent for English and Welsh literature at school, though his mainpassion was for sports. His schoolmaster, Philip Burton, became something of amentor, encouraging him to take part in school stage productions. Philip Burtonadopted Richard, who returned to school and worked hard to develop his actingpotential. He starred as Henry Higgins in a YMCA production of Pygmalion.In 1943, at the age of 18, he began a six-month term at Exeter College, Oxford, beforeserving as a navigator in the RAF between 1944 and 1947. After leaving the RAF in1947 he moved to London to find work as an actor. He signed up with a theatricalagency, and his first professional roles were in radio plays for the BBC and in the filmThe last Days OJ Delwyn.During the 195Q8his profile grew, with London and New York appearances in TheLady's Not For Burning. alongside John Oielgud and Claire Bloom. Burton also tookminor roles in a number of British films. His performance as Prince Henry in a 1951Stratford production of Shakespeare's Henry IV, Part 1 won him critical acclaim, andelevation into the circle of great British actors such as Olivier, Gielgud andRichardson. The great theatre critic Kenneth Tynan said: "His playing of Prince Halturned interested speculation to awe almost as soon as he started to speak; in the firstintermission local critics stood agape in the lobbies. II

In 1952, his Hollywood career began after he signed a five-year contract withdirector/producer Alexander Korda, which earned him £ I 00 a week. 20th CenturyFox then signed up Burton for three films at $50,000 each - the first was My CousinRachel, for which he was given the lead role upon the recommendation of Daphne duMaurier. The film was a critical and commercial success, establishing Burton as aHoltywood leading man and gaining him an Academy Award nomination and GoldenGlobe award.In 1954, he took his best-known radio role, as the narrator in the Dylan Thomas'Under Milk Wood, which he reprised in a film version 20 years later. A number ofhigh profile film roles followed, including Alexander The Great (1956), for which heplayed the title role, and Look Back In Anger (1958). Burton's theatre career wasrunning in tandem with his appearances on the silver screen. He played Coriolanusand Hamlet at the Old Vic in 1953 and received a Tony Award nomination for hisBroadway performance ill Time Remembered (1958), eventually winning a Tony forplaying King Arthur in the 1960 musical Camelot. In 1964, he won a third award forreprising his role as Hamlet in a production directed by John Gielgud.After Hamlet, he rarely appeared on stage, although he returned in 1976 to perform in

Equus as psychiatrist Martin Dysart (a role he repeated in the 1977 film adaptation),and undertook theatre roles in a 19&0 touring production of Camelot and a productionof Noel Coward's Private Lives opposite his ex-wife Elizabeth Taylor in 1983.In 1963, he took the role of Mark Antony in Cleopatra, acting opposite ElizabethTaylor. At the time it was the most expensive film ever made, with costs reachingalmost $40 million. It was a huge success, and established Burton as one ofHollywood's top earners.Perhaps more significantly, it was on the set of Cleopatra that Burton and Taylor fellin love. Although they were both married to others at the time, their relationship wasendlessly scrutinised and celebrated by the media. The couple married on the 15th ofMarch 1964 in Montreal, Canada and a succession of film roles followed alongsideTaylor including The Sandpiper (1965), Who's Afraid OlVirginia Woolf! (1966) andThe Taming OlThe Shrew (1967). The couple divorced in 1974, but remarried on 10October 1975. The second union lasted less than a year.During his lifetime. he was nominated seven times for an Academy Award, six ofwhich were for Best Actor in a Leading Role (without ever winning), and was arecipient ofBAFTA Golden Globe and Tony Awards for Best Actor. Although nevertrained as an actor, Burton was, at one time, the highest-paid actor in Hollywood.On 5thAugust 1984, Richard died ofa cerebral haemorrhage in Geneva, Switzerlandat the age of 58. At his funeral four days later in Celigny, he was buried with a copyof the Collected/Poems of Dylan Thomas. He remains closely associated in the publicconsciousness with his second wife, actress Elizabeth Taylor, who died earlier thisyear.
