      You know all these guys said stupid shit to justify drinking but being an alcoholic is not pleasant, right? Like the one that said he wished he could have drank every drop on earth and slept with every woman alive. They sound like they are 12 years old. Their brains are stuck in adolescence and it's funny to people except that they were killing themselves, costing studios millions, beating their wives, and destroying their children.

    I was a standby prop for the 10 month shoot of a movie 'Where Eagles Dare", shot in the very late 60's.Three months in Germany shooting the exterior scenes and seven months interior scenes in England at the MGM studio. Every day Burton was working my first duty was to take his expensive watch and switch it with a WWII military watch then back when he finished his shots for that day. Burton was always on time and knew he's lines never drunk so that he walked, talked or acted inebriated. Nice guy and very funny with the jokes.

      Burton stood up for the powerless on set, I didn’t work with him but I had a friend who did and he was friendly and approachable to everyone and if some snotty 3rd assistant director was disrespectful towards junior crew or extras he would go ballistic. Whatever faults Burton had there was not a snobbish or elitist bone in his body and he never forgot where he came from (some contemporary A listers should take note)

    Dean Martin died the day his son slammed his fighter into a mountain. The Air Force initially presented it as a suicide, neglecting to note flying an F4 in the mountains in a snow storm is inherently dangerous. I watched several biopics around the time of Dean's death in which close friends said he never recovered from that.

Someone asked him about his drinking. He said roughly, " Do you think NBC would pay me $1 million if I was really a big drinker?"

    My father renovated Sinatra's flat in Grosvenor Square, London ( I helped pull up the carpet) when Sinatra was filming "The Naked Runner"...he put quite high shelves all around the walls, and when he went back to do a bit of a fix up, those shelves were completely filled with Jack Daniels bottles, some full some empty.My father loved a drink, but was quite surprised by the amount of booze on those shelves.

      O Toole did get into some heavy drinking, but he largely over stated it to be "cool" and with the times and to fit in with the others of his time. His diaries and documents he left behind show a man very organized with clear goals. Burtons Diaries on the other hand show him to be an erratic drunk with months years missing because he was too drunk. You don't live to your 80s if you are a hapless drunk. Burton was dying by the time he 50. O Toole and Harris reeled it in and stopped when they were in their 40s, they weren't as bad as Burton.

    You omitted English actor Richard Harris. His alcoholism and hellraising antics with Peter O'Toole and Richard Burton are legendary. Despite this, he made some incredible movies. While Burton was a proud Welsh man, O'Toole and Harris wouĺd say that they relished their Irish background and drinking heritage. In his later years, Harris occupied a suite at the Savoy Hotel in London. He was taken ill and carried out on a stretcher. As he passed through reception, he sat up and said,, 'it was the food!'. He died shortly after..

    Peggy Castle could have been in this as well. Starting in radio in the mid 1940s, beautiful and talented Peggy Castle was discovered by a talent agent in 1947 while having lunch at a Beverly Hills restaurant. She went on to appear or co-star in a number of movies. Castle went on to TV, and appeared in a number of series throughout the 1950’s. Her first co-staring and long running role was in the series Lawman. Alcohol caught up with her quickly, and she died of cirrhosis of the liver at age 47 in 1973.

    Amazing that so many times we're watching these great actors up on the silver screen that we're watching a bunch of alcoholics at the same time! The late great Paul Newman finally admitted to being a lifelong alcoholic in his auto-biography and his wife of 50 years, Joanne Woodward stated that she helped get him off the hard stuff and down to just drinking beer! It's also a known fact, that both nicotene i.e. cigarette/cigar smoking and alcohol are known carcinogenics and cause cancers of different organs, not just the lungs! Also, not so great for the heart as well, contributing to heart disease as these deaths have proven! May they rest in peace~

    I did some background acting years ago. You can't imagine how hard it is to be an actor, background or star. It was one helluva lot of work over long hours, emotional merry-go-rounds and a LOT of physical activity. You bet I needed a drink when I got home. I think a lot of actors are or were "after hours" drinkers - sober on the job, drinking after work is done for the day.

I also do NOT drink all of the time when I'm off work. I don't drink nearly as much beer as I used to. Mostly because I don't want to have to piss all of the time and I never drink more than 3 or 4 shots of bourbon on the rocks at one sitting which would never be twice a day. I also rarely drink in the daytime, at lunch when working etc. Moderation is the key.
