Richard Burton

Originally named Richard Jenkins, Burton was born to a poor family in southern Wales. At the age of two, his mother passed away, leaving behind 13 children. Richard was the second youngest. Cecilia, his aunt on his father's side, took him in as his father was unfit to care for all the kids alone. In 1943, his teacher and guardian Phillip Burton informally adopted him. He took on his last name when he reached 18.
