When I first liked Burton, I started to make up for his movies. No matter which movie website, the list of actors in "The Longest Day" will always be Burton. I thought he was the protagonist. Finally, I went in and watched for a long time, only to find out that he was a soy saucer, and I was cheated.
The actual protagonist of this film is John Wayne, and the second most dramatic role is Robert Mitchum. The two of them are big names in the golden age, and their status in the film industry in 62 years should be higher than that of Burton.
Following a series of star-studded names, Henry Fonda, Rod Steiger, Roddy McDowell, Sean Connery, etc. are also legends, and the pay is the same as Burton, but they are all ranked in the rankings. Behind Burton.
Because Burton was the most popular among the stars in "The Longest Day", he ranked first, even if he was just a dragon. Another example is also very interesting.
In the "Daily Mail" news, the publication of the biography of Orson Wells was reported. He recorded a lot of content about his slanderous celebrities on his tapes, covering everything from the golden age to the superstar age.
Chaplin-"Arrogant" Oliver-"Stupid, his "King Lear" is the worst performance I have ever seen" Gilgood-"The tone of the lines in Shakespeare's play is like speaking to the secretary Oral" Marlon Brando-"Not very smart, his neck is like a huge sausage" James Stewart-"A bad actor" Betty Davis-"It's unbearable, I don't want to see her on the screen again" Humphrey Bogart-"A coward who always fights in a bar and needs the rescue of a barman" Joan Fontaine-"On the screen will always only have two expressions" Jennifer Jones-"There is no hope" Naumar Sheila-"One of the most talented actresses" Spencer Qusser-"A hateful, hateful person"
As for Burton, he didn't scold him on the tape, but he told his friends.
Once he was eating in a restaurant, Burton came to his table and said politely, "Oson, it’s been too long. You look good. Elizabeth is with me. She really wants to see you. I can Bring her here?"
Wells refused unceremoniously, "No, as you can see, I'm having lunch."
He triumphantly told his friend that he had insulted Burton face to face.
The friend blamed him, he shouldn't be so rude, Burton was so coldly rejected, he must be frustrated like a puppy with only a whip, and flinched.
He disagreed, saying, "Burton is a very talented man, but he ruined his great talent. He became a laughingstock for marrying a famous woman, and now he only works for money and does the worst."
Wells looked down on no one. The actors who scolded were basically attacking their IQ and acting skills. Even if they didn't attack their acting skills, they didn't praise them. Only Burton was scolding, but he affirmed Burton's talent at the beginning and called it "great." Obviously Wells has scolded so many big names in one breath, almost all of them are Oscar winners, and some of them have higher status in movie history than Burton. But on the title of the "Daily Mail", it was "Hollywood laid bare: Orson Welles rips into the stars... but which one did he say was'arrogant' and who did he think was'a joke with a celebrity wife'?"
Only mention the "arrogant" Chaplin, "the laughing stock of celebrity wives" Burton.
When another media reported this news, it called Burton "another performer."
There is another media outlet that is more eye-catching, putting Wells's secretly scolding Burton directly on the title, "Go Fuck Yourself: The Real Orson Welles"
A friend asked him if he had humiliated Burton, and he boasted that he scolded Burton, "Go fuck yourself!"
Obviously, in the eyes of the media, only Chaplin and Burton should appear in topics with a limited number of words in terms of popularity, popularity, popularity, and status.
In 13 years, to commemorate the 50th anniversary of "Cleopatra", Hollywood suddenly remembered that he was not yet on the Walk of Fame, so he posthumously awarded him a Hollywood star.
The media people were angry, "Richard Burton is not there? I wonder if Charlie Chaplin is also not there, but the trash stars are all on it."
It can be seen how lofty Burton's status in the West is, and he is a great god comparable to Chaplin. Below is a list of familiar or well-known names in Burton's movies. Only male players are listed, not female heroes, because it is easier to list male players than to match Burton's position in the film actor queue at that time.
