The extraordinary story of how a miner's son from Wales became a celebrated Hollywood actor is told in this Richard Burton documentary to mark what would have been the star's 100th birthday.

With his baritone voice, charisma and infamous relationship with Elizabeth Taylor, Richard became a global superstar.

His background was a far cry from the glamour of Hollywood, however, having been raised in poverty by his older sister after their mother died when he was two.
