If you take a walk down Penhydd Street in Pontrhydyfen you probably won't notice anything out of the ordinary. With its traditional terraced houses hugged by lush green hills, it's exactly what you'd expect of a small mining village in the Afan Valley.
But one home on the street has a very extraordinary history as somewhere frequented by Hollywood royalty. It is the home of 73-year-old actress Sian Owen - the niece of legendary Welsh actor Richard Burton.
The Hollywood hellraiser was famous for his colourful private life and his mastery of acting before he died in 1984 at the age of just 58. Although his screen roles and marriages to Elizabeth Taylor made him one of the biggest stars in Tinseltown, to Sian he always was - and still is - just her "Uncle Rich".
