Book excerpt: "Believe me, you will never have read anything quite like this" The Spectator--London "With Richard Burton, I was living my own fabulous and passionate fantasy. Everyone bought tickets to watch Liz and Dick, and we gave them what they wanted."--Elizabeth Taylor "In all honesty, had he turned his considerable charms on me early in rehearsals, I do not know what my reaction would have been. He was that attractive."--Julie Andrews "If there were twelve elephants on a stage, you would look at Rich."--Richard Harris "They say best men are molded out of faults. And, for the most, become much more the better for being a little bad."--William Shakespeare "I came to dread the moment before dawn when Richard had to dress and go back to his wife."--Claire Bloom In 1951, at the age of 26, an unknown British actor was signed by Richard Zanuck of 20th Century Fox on a three film deal worth $250,000. Very quickly, Richard Burton became Fox's biggest star, culminating in the 1953 blockbuster The Robe, where he out acted and outshone Victor Mature. Zanuck doubled his salary to $500,000 and Burton never looked back, eventually starring in the most expensive film ever made at the time, Cleopatra, and then marrying the world's biggest female star of the time, Elizabeth Taylor. Three times he was the toast of New York on the Broadway stage with performances in Camelot, Hamlet, and Equus, even today never bested for the box office takings or sheer strength of performance. This is the story of Richard Burton, a sweeping saga spanning 1898 to 1984, a story more exciting than any novel about the most charismatic actor that ever walked the stage. Stretching from the coal mines of South Wales to the film sets of Hollywood, this far reaching 800-page biography reflects the entire life of one of the greatest Anglo-Americans of our time. In the process, he became as rich as Croesus; the first actor to be paid a million dollars a film, he outbid even Aristotle Onassis to buy the world's greatest diamonds. He loved and lost some of the world's most beautiful women, including Elizabeth Taylor, Raquel Welch, Susan Stasberg and Claire Bloom. Reputedly bedding over 2,000 women, he was a lothario on a scale only equaled since by Warren Beatty. The book also reflects on his fatal flaws and how he spent almost every day of his adult life intoxicated with alcohol. He was the last of the hell raisers, a pack of actors that included Lee Marvin, Peter O'Toole, Oliver Reed and Richard Harris. Supplemented by 64 pages of stunning photographs, many of which are published here for the first time.
Download or read book And God Created Burton written by Tom Rubython and published by . This book was released on 2018-02-07 with total page 800 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: And God Created Burton is the first complete biography of Richard Burton, a welsh miner who conquered Hollywood. The biography examines every facet of Burton's life and it is the tale of a unique actor whose prowess uniquely spanned theatre, film and television. He was an extraordinary man, who had three fathers, three mothers, seven brothers, six sisters and four wives, and loved them all. His achievements were considered all the greater as they were accomplished in the era of such great British actors as Laurence Olivier and John Gielgud as well as great American stars such as Humphrey Bogart, Clark Gable and Cary Grant. But he could have achieved even more if it had not been for his addiction to alcohol which stayed with him right to the end of his days, eventually killing him and tarnishing an otherwise extraordinary career.

For quarter of a century, Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton were the king and queen of Hollywood. Yet their two marriages to each other represented much more than outlandish romance. Together, Elizabeth and Richard were a fascinating embodiment of the mores and transgressions of their time and even luminaries like Jacqueline Kennedy looked to them as a barometer of the culture. The enduring glamour, grandeur, drama and bravado embodied in the couple gave rise to the type of rabid gossip and wide-eyed adoration that are the staples of todayÕ s media. Using brand-new research and interviews Ð including unique access to Taylor herself, the Burton family, and TaylorÕ s extensive personal correspondence Ð this ultimate celebrity biography is the gripping real-life story of a fairy-tale couple whose lives were even grander and more outrageous than the epic films they made.

Download or read book Random Designer written by Richard G. Colling and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Random Designer proclaims a new vision of God s creation. Written using simplified language and illustrations for working professionals, pastors, teachers, students and general audiences, Random Designer establishes a whole new creation paradigm. It describes how the forces of randomness and chaos, which play central roles in our physical existence, are actually creative. The Creator simply taps these apparently random physical processes to accomplish his higher goal the creation of human beings capable of consciously perceiving and acknowledging him. With this new awareness, we, as his ultimate creation, are free to explore the limits of our physical and spiritual potential. For the first time, we can freely consider what it means to be made in the Creator s image, to sense and acknowledge His presence and to experience a close meaningful relationship with Him. If you have ever been told that to be a Christian you must choose between science OR faith; evolution OR creation; Biology OR the Bible, the message of Random Designer is that this is simply untrue: God is in them all. Thus Random Designer invites believers and non-believers to reconsider the question of God. Random Designer takes a more positive and constructive approach. Introducing a concept called random design, Random Designer explains many basic principles of life, then uses these insights to reveal how science and biology - including evolution are fully compatible with belief in God. The essence of Random Design is elegantly simple: No Limits! From the formation of the heavens to the development and nurture of life itself, all possibilities are automatically assembled and tested. Thus, in the most unexpected and extraordinary ways, random design endows all creation with boundless life-giving potential. The ultimate result is nothing less than spectacular - Us! For ages, Christians have huddled in fear behind scientifically indefensible concepts of creation, like 6-day creationism and now intelligent design, quaking in the thought that science might somehow have the power to disprove God s existence. Random Designer helps show that this is not true. Science has no such power! On the other hand, God is not limited to literal interpretations of scripture, nor will He remain confined to rigid, man-made religious doctrines. His creation and revelation are ongoing. People must never be required to deny the realities of God s living world in order to be accepted into the community of Christian faith. The truth is that the science-religion conflict is but a man-made myth: There is no conflict in the mind of God. Faith and intellect really can go hand in hand: They need never be at war. If the ultimate goals of Christian apologetics are to seek out truth and to credibly keep God in the equation of life, Random Designer accomplishes this goal. By building credible bridges between science and faith, it establishes a safe harbor a place where one can freely explore and embrace the wonders of God s creation revealed by science while at the same time holding fast to faith and belief in God. Reflecting the highest intelligence, Random Designer creates a scientifically accurate conceptual framework where science is free, but just as importantly, God s place is permanently secure! Random design seems like a paradox a contradiction of terms. But random does not mean unimportant or without design. A message of hope, purpose, and peace resonates from the apparent randomness! In fact, it has always been this way. In the midst of the most profound mysteries and apparent paradoxes, there one encounters the miraculous. Random Designer is a relationship quest - the story of an eternal Creator who harnesses the apparent random forces of nature for an exquisite and divine purpose to draw mankind to Himself. Join the journey to discover the true Random Designer - God. The adventure begins with a single step of faith!"
Download or read book Identity and Idolatry written by Richard Lints and published by InterVarsity Press. This book was released on 2015-08-10 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this New Studies in Biblical Theology volume, Richard Lints argues that "idol" language in the Bible is a conceptual inversion of the "image" language of Genesis 1. He shows how the narrative of human identity runs from creation to fall to redemption in Christ, and examines the recent renaissance of interest in idolatry with its conceptual power to explain the "culture of desire."
