Burton (born September 10, 1957) is a Welsh-American actress. Burton was
born in Geneva, Switzerland, the daughter of producer Sybil Burton (née
Williams; born 1929) and actor Richard Burton (1925-1984). She was thus
the stepdaughter of actress Elizabeth Taylor and of Sybil's second
husband Jordan Christopher. In 1979, Burton earned a bachelor's degree
in Russian studies and European history from Brown University. She was
also on the board of Production Workshop, the university's student
theatre group. She furthered her devotion to theatre by studying at Yale
University School of Drama, from which she graduated in 1983. In 2007,
Burton was given an honorary doctorate from Brown University.
