I’ve been listening to the TCM podcast on the making of Cleopatra (1963) where there’s the claim Richard Burton, up to the making of that film, slept with all of his leading ladies except Julie Andrews. As I’m currently watching Cleopatra and it’s four hours long (it has some great stuff in it) I thought I would fact check this.
Unless specified it’s a movie...
* Last Days of Dolwyn - mostly male cast
* Waterfront (1950) - with Susan Shaw... yes they would’ve done it, she was wild
* The Woman with No Name (1950) - can’t imagine anything happened with no nonsense Phyllis Calvert but second female lead Helen Cherry was married to boozer Trevor Howard and might have liked a crack at Burton
* The Lady’s Not for Burning (1950) - Broadway play with Pamela Brown... yeah I reckon that happened
* Legend of Lovers (1951) - Broadway play with Dorothy McGuire... I doubt this one but you never know
* Green Grow the Rushes (1951) with Honor Blackman - honestly couldn’t say
* My Cousin Rachel (1952) with Olivia de Havilland... maybe, she could be a little minxy (had a hot fling with John Huston).. maybe something happened with Audrey Dalton who was also in it
* The Robe (1953) - Jean Simmons was in this and she was prone to flings with co stars even when married (she was with Stewart Granger at this time) so yeah I reckon that happened
* The Desert Rats (1953) - all male cast but both Burton and Robert Newton were notorious drinkers so anything is possible
* Prince of Players (1955) with Maggie McNamara - a possibility
* Rains of Ranchipur (1955) with Lana Turner - this would’ve happened
* Alexander the Great (1956) with Clair Bloom, who he did have an affair with
* Sea Wife (1957) with Joan Collins... what do you reckon? Of course they did
* Bitter Victory (1957) with Ruth Roman... maybe
* Time Remembered (1957) - Broadway show - he did have affair with Susan Strasberg
* Look Back in Anger (1959) - he definitely had an affair with Claire Bloom
* Ice Palace (1960) - with Carolyn Jones, Martha Hyer, Shirley Knight... he would’ve had one of those
* The Bramble Bush (1960) - with Angie Dickinson... yeah I reckon that happened
* Camelot with Julie Andrews - didn’t happen
