Richard Burton

Renowned for his resonant, melodious Welsh baritone, Richard Burton navigated the path of matrimony five times. His first marriage to Sybil Williams in 1949 blessed him with two children before his life took a dramatic turn upon meeting Elizabeth Taylor. The ensuing relationship between Burton and Taylor was as fervently passionate as it was fraught with turmoil, leading them to marry and subsequently divorce each other twice. 

Following his iconic union with Taylor, Burton married Suzy Hunt in 1976. His final marriage was to Sally Burton in 1983, marking the last chapter of his romantic life before his premature passing at the age of 58. Burton’s legacy, characterized by his remarkable talent and his stormy love affair with Taylor, remains a subject of fascination.
