EDITORS COMMENTS

Richard Burton was a man of many talents and passions. From his iconic performances on stage and screen to his adventurous spirit as an explorer, he left an indelible mark on the world. The Richard Burton Season at BFI Southbank in August 2009 celebrated his incredible body of work, showcasing the range and depth of his talent. In the 1800s, Sir Richard Burton embarked on a journey to India, immersing himself in its rich culture and traditions. This experience shaped him as a young man, fueling his curiosity and thirst for knowledge. His time spent there would later influence his writings and explorations. One cannot mention Richard Burton without acknowledging his captivating presence on screen. In The Last Days of Dolwyn (1949), he shared a poignant scene with Andrea Lea, displaying both vulnerability and strength as an actor. Similarly, while filming Villain in Brighton, Sussex, he effortlessly brought characters to life with his undeniable charisma. But it wasn't just acting that defined Richard Burton; he also had moments of introspection amidst the chaos of fame. Pictured enjoying a moment of reflection in a London pub during filming or captured deep in thought during breaks from shooting - these glimpses into the private side of this enigmatic figure remind us that even larger-than-life personalities need moments to recharge. Richard's personal life was often under scrutiny as well. The tumultuous relationship between him and Elizabeth Taylor captivated audiences worldwide. Their love story played out like a Hollywood blockbuster - passionate yet volatile - culminating in grand celebrations such as Elizabeth's 40th birthday party held at the International Hotel in Budapest. However, not all aspects of Richard's personal life were filled with glamour and excitement. James Hunt's ex-wife Susie leaving him mirrored some real-life struggles faced by this legendary actor off-screen too.
