Publisher's Note Appearing in about 60 films and dozens of stage and radio productions, John Barrymore (1882-1942) was arguably the most idolized performing arts figure of his generation. This book presents the most thorough cataloging to date of the life and career of the best-known member of America's "Royal Family" of actors. The volume includes a biography, detailed entries for all of Barrymore's performances, and annotated bibliographic information, including listings of archives and special collections.
Industry Reviews A cataloging of the life and career of the idolized actor John Barrymore (1882-1942). An opening biographical essay is followed by a chronology; chapters on his stage, film, radio, and recording work; stage and screen characterizations modeled after the actor; an annotated bibliography; and archives of Barrymore materials. The appendices provide a listing of audio and video distributors that carry Barrymore movies and radio programs, and an article "The John Barrymore I Knew" by Margaret Carrington, the actor's Shakespearean vocal coach.
