Burton By Peter Robertson Richard Burton A Ufa By Metvyn Little Brown The previews came early from ex cerpts in Life Now for the uncut pro duction of Richard Burton A Life by Bragg And what a blessed tormented inspirational heart- wrenching was The actor born Richard Jenkins was raised in Wales a region of and economic blight It was depen dent one straggling industry coal The youth loved to drink and rough- house to sing and to act to punish himself brutally While playing rugby against players twice his size be sus tained injuries that would plague him for the rest of his life Burton came from a large family which la his later years he was to sup port As a youth however he fell un der the tutelage of Philip Burton a teachermentor who would adopt him and provide him with a new surname The actors early life has an Incen diary undertone echoing the kitchen sink dramas the workingclass agit prop prose that would produce works such as Saturday Night and Sunday Morning and Look Back in An ger a celluloid triumph for the young Burton He married caroused endlessly and threatened the English theater deities of Olivier Richardson and Gielgud All this happened preEllzabeth Taylor out in tabloids bis public battles with booze four wives five mar riages and breathtaking perfor mances in Whos Afraid of Virginia Woolf and 1884 Biographer Bragg is a novelist one of the most visible and respected film Richard Barton critichistorians In Britain and cur rently Head of Arts at London Week end Television an independent TV company His book is filled with rec ollections by friends and wives ex research and the first exten sive airing of the late actors private diaries The latter is what transforms biography from excellent to definitive The late actors own prose Is both erudite and

journals Bragg unearths fascinating contradictions During his career Burton would make sporadic returns to the stage working for next to nothing At the height of the Liz Dick years the couple demanded and received colossal salaries for both worthy and illadvised Hollywood projects The milliondollarplus pay checks may seem slight in the face of the megabuck deals needed to capture Sylvester Stallone today But Bragg translates these figures by applying an 80s inflation calculation Like wise the estimated million plus spent on Cleopatra becomes a truly daunting figure when the author again multiplies The author works diligently bring ing these contrasts to the fore and making some sense of them If his prose shifts uneasily on occasion from lofty pronouncements on the theater and literature to the shenani gans of Liz Dick it is because Rich ard Burton himself did Braggs book is a towering achieve ment in no way lessened by bis good fortune as a biographer The author received a remarkable degree of co operation from those close to Burton especially from Sally Burton his wid ow and Kate Burton bis actress- daughter The Sally period seems to reflect Burton most relaxed years
