Richard Burton has been given a star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame, almost three decades after his death
The Welsh actor's posthumous star was placed on the famous road yesterday - Wales' national St David's Day celebration - next to that of Elizabeth Taylor, the movie siren he married twice. The ceremony was held as part of celebrations to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the epic film Cleopatra, in which the two stars shared the screen for the first time
The unveiling was attended by the couple's adopted daughter Maria Burton and fellow Welsh actor Michael Sheen
The unveiling of the star - the 2,491st plaque on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame - followed a campaign by the Western Mail, the national newspaper of Wales, led by Welsh business academic Professor Dylan Jones-Evans to secure recognition for the film great.
