Philip Henry Burton was a Welsh teacher of English, who became an acclaimed radio producer and theatre director. In his later life, he emigrated to the United States where he helped found the American Musical and Dramatic Academy in New York City. Despite Burton's successes in many fields, it is for his role in helping his one-time pupil Richard Burton to pursue his career as an actor, that he is best remembered.
