Which was the better actor?

Olivier was fearsome in Marathon Man.

Burton married Liz a couple of times.

L.O. was married to Scarlet O'Hara...….so I call a tie.

I was never into watching that Wilbert Shakespeare stuff that those two are known for.

Olivier was more the chameleon....... Burton had the grittiness...... I'd take marathon man and Oliviers diversity over Burtons more consistent leading man appeal. I'd definitely be watching both actors when I can find em.

Forty years later and when I go to the dentist, i still ask him "is it safe?"

Elizabeth Taylor was WAY hotter than Scarlett, especially in their early 20’s. It’s not even close!

Burton was a baseball fan.

In 1962, Richard Burton was on the cover of Life Magazine with Liz Taylor. Inside that magazine were two free ‘Post’ cereal cards - Mickey Mantle and Roger Maris.

That settles that.
