Richard Burton

Richard Burton's life and remarkable career are revealed by a writer who knew him from 1968 up to Burton's last film. Recounting the charismatic actor's intimate thoughts and dark secrets, and providing hell-raising stories quashed by the Hollywood system—such as affairs with Marilyn Monroe and Lana Turner, being caught in a brothel with Errol Flynn, and in a fist fight with Frank Sinatra—this revealing and deeply moving biography offers a stunning portrait of a man of contradictions and one of Hollywood's greatest stars.
