And Nobody Under 50 Even Remembers Who Richard Burton Was
-
Dead: Sybil Christopher, actress, nightclub founder, theatre impresario. So? So she was known beforehand as Sybil Burton, Burton being her first husband's name. Burton. As in Richard. Yes, she was Richard Burton's first wife, dumped quite spectacularly for Elizabeth Taylor. As the woman scorned, she picked herself up and had several successes, first with Arthur, one of the hot celebrity nightclubs of 1960s New York, then with the New Theater, also in Manhattan (I saw a show there!), and again with a theater company in the Hamptons. All of that after being the wronged party in a headline-making scandal. Not bad revenge. (New York Times)
