Richard Burton

Richard Burton was born on November 10, 1925 in Celigny, Switzerland. He was a Welsh actor, and was one of the highest-paid actors in Hollywood. He is well known for his vocal style, and was nominated seven times for the Academy Awards for acting but never won.

Burton is most known for his roles in Look Back in Anger, King Arthur’s Camelot on Broadway, and Cleopatra (1963). During a filming, he met Elizabeth Taylor and immediately fell in love with her. Once they married, people began to see many on-screen collaborations with two of them.

During Burton’s fourth marriage with Suzy Hunt, he suddenly died of cerebral hemorrhage at his home in Switzerland. He was only 58 years old when he died and was buried in Switzerland in a red suit.
