Line 1: ~~[[Category:~~{{creator\|wppage=Richard Burton]]}}▼ ~~{{work}}~~ [[File:Richard Burton 1955.jpg\|thumb\|300px\|Richard Burton in 1955]] '''Richard Burton''' (1925-1984) was a Welsh actor. He was nominated for seven [[Academy ~~Awards~~Award]]s, but never won, making him one of the biggest losers in Oscar history. Burton was also notable for his marriage to [[Elizabeth Taylor]], who they met on the set of ''[[Cleopatra]]'' and engaged in an affair, which resulted him in leaving his first wife Sybil Williams, for Taylor. They married in 1964, divorced in 1974, remarried in 1975, and divorced again in 1976. After his marriage to Taylor ended twice, he later married twice more, to Suzy Hunt (1976-1982) and Sally Hay (1983-1984). His films included ''[[~~The Robe (Film)\|~~The Robe]]'', ''[[The Longest Day]]'', ''[[Becket]]'', ''[[The Spy Who Came in ~~From~~from ~~The~~the Cold]]'', ''[[~~Whos~~Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?]]'', ''[[The Taming of the Shrew]]'', ''[[Where Eagles Dare]]'', ''[[Anne Of The Thousand Days]]'', ''[[Exorcist II the Heretic]]'', ''[[Equus]]'', ''[[Nineteen Eighty-Four]]'' and ''[[The Wild Geese]]''~~. After his marriage to Taylor ended twice, he later married twice more, to Suzy Hunt (1976-1982) and Sally Hay (1983-1984)~~. In 1970, Burton was [[Knight Fever\|ceremonially honoured with a CBE]]<ref>But not a KCBE, so he was not entitled to be called "Sir".</ref> at Buckingham Palace on his 45th birthday. On August 5, 1984, after years of alcoholism, he died of a cerebral hemorrhage at the age of 58. Not to be confused with Victorian explorer and author [[Richard Burton (author)\|Sir Richard Francis Burton]]. Despite appearances, actor Burton's name is his own, not a stage name inspired by the elder Burton. {{filmography}} This list of Richard Burton's award-winning and award-nominated roles was copied from [[The Other Wiki]], which has a much longer [[w:Richard Burton on stage, screen, radio and record\|list of Richard Burton's roles]]. {\|class="wikitable" style="font-size: 95%;" \|- !
