Why?
Richard Burton was born Richard Jenkins in the mining village of Pontrhydyfen, Wales. He grew up in a working class, Welsh-speaking household.
His film contracts always contained the clause that he would not work on March 1, Saint David's Day, the feast day of Saint David, the patron saint of Wales.

If I were Welsh I would say this in Welsh, but I'm not so I'll say it in Canadian...
Very Interesting Fact!
Very interesting. I need to re-negotiate my contract : ) Happy feast day to Saint David.
oh, I like that! And, since I'm quite fond of Wales myself, I think I'm going to make March 1st no work day, too!
