Richard Burton was a global icon best remembered for his memorable film roles and his passionate - and drama-filled - romance with Elizabeth Taylor, but a new release reveals where it all began.
The new biopic Mr Burton will be out in theatres next week and it tells the story of Richard Burton's tumultuous early life - and the school teacher who helped propel him to global stardom.
Kate Burton, daughter of Richard Burton and actress in her own right, says many didn't know about her father's early life beyond being born in Wales.
"I think it's an amazing achievement - I think they tell the story of my father beautifully, I think a lot of people don't realise where my father came from. The know that he came from Wales, but they didn't know how poverty-stricken his life was as a young person."
