Clint Eastwood

Clinton Eastwood, an 88-year-old American actor, played the character of a U.S. Army Ranger Lieutenant, Morris Schaffer.

"I grew up among heroes who went down the pit, who played rugby, told stories, sang songs of war." "It is impossible to tell you what is consisted in the act of love." "The more I study religions, the more I am convinced that man never worshipped anything but himself." ~ Richard Burton, Actor Burton was married five times, twice consecutively to Elizabeth Taylor. Noted for his mellifluous baritone voice, Burton established himself as a formidable Shakespearean actor in the 1950s, and he gave a memorable performane of Hamlet in 1964. By the late 1960s, Burton was one of the highest-paid actors in the world, receiving fees of US$1 million or more plus a share of the gross receipts. Burton remained closely associated in the public consciousness with his second wife, actress Elizabeth Taylor. The couple's turbulent relationship was rarely out of the news. #RichardBurton #ExeterCollege #Oxford #WilliamShakespeare #Hamlet #GettyImages #Wikipedia Page Under Construction
