Hi!
I haven't read any of his biographies. But I found this info in the
net, together with that about haemophilia - a mild form of it. I also
found that one of Burton's children was autistic and had epileptic
fits. Is that right?
Maybe it went unreported to help him get new parts in films. There's
still a lot of prejudice today, in those days people could have been
even more prejudiced, perhaps.
Thanks!

first mentioned it.  So I've always had a little question mark in my
mind as to how something so important could be previously unreported.
