Richard Burton Screen Worn Frock Coat from Prince of Players
Black frock coat with lime green piping and hobo-style patches of various colors and materials, worn by the legendary Richard Burton in Prince of Players (1955), a biopic about actor Edwin Booth. The Fox film was directed by Philip Dunne and co-starred John Derek and Raymond Massey. Includes a Western Costume Company label on the inner pocket with Burton's name typewritten on it. Burton is best remembered for his Shakespearean roles on stage, his marriage to Elizabeth Taylor and his oft-times erratic personal life. He was nominated for an Oscar several times, including for Equus (1977) in a role he originated onstage.
