Richard Burton Outed Tennessee Williams as a pedophile
From "The Richard Burton Diaries"
March 1983 [Burton and his ex-wife ET are rehearsing Private Lives]
Wednesday 23rd. Worked from 12 noon 'til 7pm without ceasing. ET had an eternal costume fitting (2 1/2 hours) so worked without her.... Have been forced to promise to go to a memorial service (as 'one of the stars') for Tennessee Williams. Did two films of his-- both goodish I believe. I didn't even like the chap. As a matter of fact I hardly ever saw him sober though we were together for months. A self-pitying pain in the neck. Also he made a pass at my Chris when Chris was eight."
[Burton is referring to his stepson Christopher Wilding]

“made a pass”? Gonna need some more details on that incident.
Not a particularly convincing “outing” of a pedophile.

I with you R1.
“Made a pass?” What did he do, send a Brandy Alexander down to bar to the kid?

So are you saying Burton's not believable, or what, exactly?

I don't believe him. I can't believe an actual pedophile would hit on an 8 year old. I think children aren't receptive to being hit on and that's why grooming exists. Williams probably called him handsome and Burton thought "this faggot wants to fuck my kid".

Richard Burton should be one to talk.

Do you have any clue or a scintilla of one how badly you come off by saying this?
