Richard Burton
It's been a while since anything was said about this great Welsh actor who could charm the pants off a nun except Julie Andrews. I heard her say once that after a show together, Burton was coming on to her and she did not bite. She wanted to be friends not lovers. At the end of that private episode, he slapped her behind and she did the same to him and from that day on he appeared to have a new respect for Andrews and they remained good friends until his death.
Who could forget Burton's distinctive tone and also his torrid love affairs with the incredible Elizabeth Taylor. They provided a lot of fodder for the media back in the days. Too bad his life was cut short but so are all the great people - are you lucky you are great? I hope you enjoy reading the tid bit I have attached below. I certainly did.
