Richard Burton, CBE, born Richard Walter Jenkins Jr. on 10th November 1925, 2, Dan-y-bont, Pontrhydyfen, Neath Port Talbot, Wales was an actor, who was known for his mellifluous baritone voice. Burton established himself as a formidable Shakespearean actor in the 1950s, having given a memorable performance of Hamlet in 1964, being called "the natural successor to Olivier" by critic Kenneth Tynan. An alcoholic, Richard's failure to live up to those expectations, disappointing critics and colleagues, while building his legend as a great thespian wastrel.
