Richard Burton
![Burton in ''[[The Robe (film)|The Robe]]'' (1953)](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/8e/Richard_Burton_-_The_Robe.jpg)
Noted for his mellifluous baritone voice, Burton established himself as a formidable Shakespearean actor in the 1950s and gave a memorable performance as Hamlet in 1964. He was called "the natural successor to Olivier" by critic Kenneth Tynan. Burton's perceived failure to live up to those expectations disappointed some critics and colleagues; his heavy drinking added to his image as a great performer who had wasted his talent. Nevertheless, he is widely regarded as one of the finest actors of his generation.
Burton was nominated for an Academy Award seven times but never won. He was nominated for his performances in ''My Cousin Rachel'' (1952), ''The Robe'' (1953), ''Becket'' (1964), ''The Spy Who Came In from the Cold'' (1965), ''Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?'' (1966), ''Anne of the Thousand Days'' (1969) and ''Equus'' (1977). He received numerous accolades, including a BAFTA Award, a Golden Globe Award and a Grammy Award. He received the Tony Award for Best Actor in a Musical for his portrayal of King Arthur in the Lerner and Loewe musical ''Camelot'' (1960).
In the mid-1960s, Burton became a top box-office star. By the late 1960s, he was one of the highest-paid actors in the world, receiving fees of $1 million or more plus a share of the gross receipts. Burton remained closely associated in the public mind with his second wife, Elizabeth Taylor. The couple's turbulent relationship, married twice and divorced twice, was rarely out of the news.
