I had stumbled on this retrospective interview by Michael Parkinson - with Richard Burton!
Quite a picture of the man and the thespian! So many unexpected insights from him.
Richard was one of the best actors who ever came up on stage ( classical theatre, especially) and on film ( 7 Oscar nominations but no wins). But to hear him speak with such a down-to-earth manner and in amusing tones is fascinating.
PS: I was lucky to have been able to get a copy of his filmed HAMLET performance...
but I was elated, too, to hear his voice preserved in a remastered CD of CAMELOT ( the musical I had wanted to have seen the most if I had been given that opportunity!)
