Dear all, Its' great to have joined up and found likeminded fans and admirers of the greatest actor ever. Over the years, and I'm now 34, I've collected pretty...
Hi and welcome to the group! Wow, you work for the BBC and still can't find a copy? That really makes it seem like there's little hope, haha! I don't think I...
I'm a big fan of Becket as well, but being in th US I'm afraid I won't be of much help. I do have the wide-screen version on VHS, but have yet to try and seek...
I ran across a news article last evening about the possibility of a film being made about Burton's life. There seemed to a bit of a debate as to who would...
My younger sister Shaheen Baig who works in film as a casting director (The Others, Thunderbirds, Peter Pan, Harry Potter 4 etc) has also mentioned a Burton...
I think Gabriel Byrne would be pretty good. Especially as he's a Burton fan and worked with him (as well as socialised with him) during the making of Wagner....
Firtsly a big welcome to Haroon. It is good when you meet up with other Richard Burton fans. Remember our slogan, "Cofiwch Richard" which is "Remember Richard"...

Yeah, I reckon Russell Crowe would be decent enough as a young Richard, he certainly has something of the presence, thogh not in the same league. Is this...
In an interview Peter Weir said he chose Crowe by imagining who he'd want if anything were possible. If anything were possible, he'd have Richard Burton. His ...
Hiya All, I would like to float the idea of setting up a Charity or Trust to collect money to fund a statue or a bust dedicated to Richard Burton. I've looked...
If I HAD money, I'd give some, but I only work one day a week. ~*~Lisa~*~ "I'm one of nature's fat boys. Inside, there's a big fat man bursting out of me." ...
I think McFadden (who seems to earn his living depicting celebrities) did a decent enough job in the rather light-weight TV biopic. However, I'm not sure he...
Byrne would probably be okay. He does have that certain intensity to him. I think Hopkins would make a fine "older" Burton, but if the film were to span...
I really don't know how credible the story is...if it's something that is merely being discussed, or if it's in the planning stages. I shall have to...
I know if I had the money I wouldn't hesitate for a moment... I don't know if Graham Jenkins is still around, he would be someone to talk to about a statue...
I would probably be willing, but would need to know *exactly* what was expected of me. Heidi robertjmorgan <no_reply@yahoogroups.com> wrote: Hiya All, I would...
Yes agreed. Of course this is a very new idea but it's worth considering. I've written a couple of letters to the organisations mentioned in the letter from...
My only concern about this whole idea is where we could hold any money raised. Of course my character is beyond reproach but organisations maybe concerned if...
Hi All, I don't know if you will remember,but there was an actor who appeared in the series 'Band of Gold' on British TV ( a series about working girls in...
Hi Robert, Yes thats the fella! He is very similar to our Rich facially,bone structure,eyes,hair, even the same sort of skin.When he was in Band of Gold I was...
Dear Robert - thank you for the enquiry - I am not really the correct person - I am forwarding your email to Judith Isherwood our Chief Executive - kind...
