Dame Elizabeth Rosemond Taylor DBE (1932 – 2011) was a British-American actress. She began her career as a child
actress in the early 1940s and was one of the most popular stars of Classical Hollywood Cinema in the 1950's. She then became
the highest paid movie star in the 1960s, remaining a well-known public figure for the rest of her life.
In 1999, the American Film Institute named her the SEVENTH-GREATEST FEMALE SCREEN LEGEND OF CLASSIC
HOLLYWOOD CINEMA. From the early 1990s until her death, she dedicated her time to philanthropy, for which she received
several accolades, including the Presidential Citizens Medal.
Richard Burton CBE (1925 – 1984) was a Welsh actor. Noted for his mellifluous baritone voice, Burton established himself as a formidable Shakespearean actor in the 1950s, and gave a memorable performance as Hamlet in 1964. He was called "the natural successor to Olivier" by critic Kenneth Tynan. Burton's perceived failure to live up to those expectations disappointed some critics and colleagues; his heavy drinking added to his image as a great performer who had wasted his talent. Nevertheless, he is widely regarded as one of the finest actors of his generation.
