Hollywood Walk of Fame
Burton is honored posthumously with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame under the category of Motion Pictures. Actor Michael Sheen helps present and unveil Burton’s star. Sheen states:
The same beach that I built my boyhood sand castles and learned to flailingly swim, it was that same beach, that one legendary day, Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor descended from the heavens, like gods from Olympus, in a helicopter … and landed on those sands.
