His voice was epic.

[@rhiannonrede]

I miss him. He was devine. Best actor of Shakespeare ever. Burton's voice was magic & all of Shakespeare cries out for it. RIP

[@connieholloway6813]

He was brilliant in Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf. So was she.

[@cindydufala7646]

It seems great actors never die. I didn't know Richard Burton died at age 58.

[@lindseycarribean5113]

The greats in general never die.

[@janethayes5941]

Gosh he did die young! I'm now older than he was. He was amazing in 1984. Scary.

[@lindseycarribean5113]

The booze. It makes him look older that his age.

[@lindseycarribean5113]

An iconic actor. And a woman’s eater. Men are never satiated. His eyes are very intense like sinatra, bette davis...it says a lot about their characters.

[@alonzocalvillo6702]

My favorite Burton movie was Night of the Iguana.Too bad that he died at 58 . All that drinking and smoking finally caught up to him like so many others of that era.

[@craigbrush5784]

Alonzo, yes! There is a lot to like about that film.

Taylor/Burton, my faves! Elizabeth looked very much like Richard's sister, Cis; interesting.

[@lindseycarribean5113]

Age, I’m sure that if he was there, he would have been flattered and proud that you remember him like that ! 😉😘

Richard Burton was deeply troubled and conflicted. He self-medicated with booze. He was deeply sensitive and craved love and acknowledgement. He truly felt that he'd sold his soul to the devil by choosing making mediocre films that were far below his talents. When he married Elizabeth Taylor, outwardly he went "Hollywood" all the way. Inwardly, he was miserable and felt like a failure. He didn't live for money and gave much of it away to his family. He truly loved Elizabeth, however. One of the most captivating books I've read is "The Richard Burton Diaries", what a read! He bares his soul as much as he had the ability to do so. They were co-dependent and quite toxic to each other. A love-hate relationship to be sure. They said awful, demeaning things to each other daily and their mutual substance abuse fueled the fire daily. I suggest watching his appearance on the Dick Cavett show, in which he talks honestly and candidly about his alcoholism. The video is available on YT. He appeared to be painfully honest throughout his life. I thought he was a brilliant actor who had a brilliant mind. Equus, Virginia Woolf, Night of the Iguana, Anne of a Thousand Days, and Becket are some of my favorite Burton performances. He was always insecure about his masculinity despite his macho bravado and many believed this was at the root of his drinking. Rest in peace, Richard Jenkins.

[@lindseycarribean5113]

He rests in Switzerland like Freddie Mercury. What about this one next ?

[@tiportangeles2696]

I enjoyed him in, 1984.

[@ricardovalentino3549]

Age of vintage horror, alcohol, drugs, bad endings to all.

[@lindseycarribean5113]

What about the controversial rudolph nureyev next ? John hurt, Anthony hopkins.

[@lindamoore2223]

Terrific talent loved him in Beckett and enjoyed many other movies as well. It appears that the people who have the greatest talents seem to be driven to abuse themselves with alcohol/drugs.

[@arnepianocanada]

As Taylor-Burton scandals raged during '62, Marilyn Monroe quipped of her soft nude scene in later-abandoned 'Something's Got to Give': "That'll knock Liz Taylor off the front pages!" MM did get a Life cover & others.

[@arnepianocanada]

Released in 1963, *Cleopatra* began filming in '60; Elizabeth Taylor's health issues delayed it to Sept '61. Entire sets built in England were found unuseable due to (surprise surprise) British weather! Arrivederci Italia😃🤑🤑

Is that Roddy MacDowell dressed like z fsiry

[@adrianthomas6667]

I am sorry, but I once saw a scenario in a photograph taken at a large reception. Elizabeth Taylor is on the left in a crowded room looking disappointed and angrily at Richard who is in the middle of the room. He looks sheepish and embarrassed, while on the left of the room in the entranceway stands a young man. Slightly effeminate in looks he wears a smirk on his face like the cat who got the cream. Although I was a very young and inexperienced gay man, it was perfectly obvious Richard had been a naughty boy!

[@ginnyhogan6386]

He ruined his talent and career by lusting after Ms. whatz her name!

[@brentonl2631]

What fantastic look at Richard Burton's career, what an incredible life and the experiences he had in his short life. Thanks Brenton 🇦🇺

[@stuartmaltby6334]

Not forgetting Where Eagles Dare, Beckett and Jeff Wayne's Musical version of the War of the Worlds....

[@MissFussbudget]

Even in his later years, Burton still gave some good performances. 1977 perfectly encapsulates Burton's up/down career for me: In that same year he gave a ridiculous performance in the hilariously awful sequel, "The Exorcist Two: The Heretic," and a brilliant one in "Equus".

[@harperstacey9604]

Richard burton needed money badly that's why he starred in the awful sequel to the exorcist. Instead of scares, the sequel drew laughs.

[@michaelmcgee8543]

He was my favorite screen star.

[@jeremynachbar3205]

Anne of a Thousand Days-great movie, incredible performance.

[@lindseycarribean5113]

Who’s afraid of Virginia Woolf ? Boom ! The night of the iguana ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

15:07 That’s one brutal surprising sound. You don’t have something soft please ?

[@AgeOfVintage]

Which one? The subscribe or the patreon pop? I can lower down the sound if that's better.

[@lindseycarribean5113]

I sing a song called Crap-a-lot. 'Tis true, 'tis true...

Burton's brother was a bottle named Bourbon.
