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 will reflect on her perceptions of Richard Burton’s legacy in the 21st century. She will explore his childhood, rise to fame, and personal life, and consider how his story has shaped the perspective of a granddaughter born after his passing.
Charlotte will also be joined in conversation by her mother, the acclaimed actor Kate Burton, daughter of Richard Burton. Kate is widely recognized 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. Together, they will offer a unique, intergenerational perspective on Richard Burton’s enduring legacy.
The Richard Burton Lecture is part of an annual series of prestigious events led by the Richard Burton Centre in collaboration with the Cultural Institute at Swansea University.
