Charlotte Frances Burton is an actor, director, and writer from New York City, and the family representative for Richard Burton 100. She is currently living and studying in Cardiff.
In this lecture, Charlotte reflected on her perceptions of Richard Burton’s legacy in the 21st century. She explored his childhood, rise to fame, and personal life, and considered how his story has shaped the perspective of a granddaughter born after his passing.
Charlotte was joined in conversation by her mother, the acclaimed actor Kate Burton, daughter of Richard Burton. Kate is widely recognised for her leading roles on stage and screen, including Grey’s Anatomy, Scandal, and The Ice Storm, as well as her celebrated performances on Broadway.
The Richard Burton Lecture was part of an annual series of prestigious events led by the Richard Burton Centre in collaboration with the Cultural Institute at Swansea University.
