    Burton was one of the last of a breed of men…real men who knew their faults and didn’t bother trying to cover them up, not like todays pampered poofs like Brad Pitt, Cruise and the rest.

    The mans voice had a fantastic timbre. He is one of the greatest actors Britain has ever had the fortune of having. Just listen to his narration on War of the Worlds; electrifying.

    Burton was a wooden film actor who just recited the lines with that annoying fake voice of his.

  21. KenfromDublin Says:

    No HenryCorbetson, …
    No HenryCorbetson, you are wrong, he was a poor (Welsh) man’s son who made a name for himself from nothing and out of nowhere and is second to NO actor.

    Olivier was WAY over-rated and came from a very privileged English aristocratic background.

    Olivier would almost certainly never have nade it had he been born into a poor Welsh mining family.

    That’s the difference between the two men.

    This takes me back, and I remember watching the origiinal interview with Michael Parkinson. Richard Burton was a true Welshman who was very intelligent and possessd immense talent. Moreover, he was so down to earth with no side to him, quite an attribute when considering his past icon status and accumulated wealth. He was born in the village of Pontrhydyfen near Neath, which was also the birthplace of opera singer Rebecca Evans and tenor Ivor Emmanuel. What talent I’m sure you’d agree.
