Welsh Actor best remembered for films such as Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, Becket, Cleopatra, The Taming of the Shrew, Look Back in Anger, The Robe, Alexander the Great, The Night of the Iguana, 1984 and Anne of the Thousand Days. In an edition of a 1962 Lima News, Richard said: "And I'm too old. I'm now 36 And I look about 5-foot-2 I'm 5-10 but I look smaller It's because I'm so wide or my head's, too big or something". In The Richard Burton diaries he also mentioned his height, saying "I am about 5ft 10½ins". 
An RAF Doctor used calipers to determine my height and pronounced me five foot eleven. Do you suppose that worrying over Elizabeth caused the shrinkage?
