Personal Quote:
Actors go through cycles - remarkable, weird cycles. There was one period from 1956 to 1961 or so when I couldn't do anything right. My voice went foul, my luck was bad, I chose badly. I thought I had lost what I had, and I nearly retired right then and there.

Trivia:
An article Burton wrote in memory of his longtime friend, Sir
Stanley Baker, following the actor's death in June 1976, caused so much offence that Baker's widow, Lady
Ellen Martin, considered suing Burton. However, shortly afterwards, she recalled standing near the tree where Baker's ashes had been scattered and hearing his voice saying, "You know what Rich is like when he's in his cups".
