Description
Spurred by fame and led by luck, a Welsh miner's child left his valley home to seek his fortune - and conquered the world with his genius and charm,Burton's path to the stars is traced by Fleet Street journalist Fergus Cashin in his own flamboyant style. He visits the scenes of Burton's boyhood; analyses his single-minded pursuit of an acting career; discusses his chequered love life, including his marriages to Elizabeth Taylor - and reminisces on his own drinking days with the notorious couple. Cashin's lively and irreverent portrait does more than justice to the man who looms larger in the theatre of life than any actor living.
