We Barrymores

This page is dedicated to the legendary family of actors, The Barrymores-- with special regard to the talented trio of siblings:

Lionel Barrymore (4/28/1878 – 11/15/1954)
Ethel Barrymore (8/15/1879 – 6/18/1959)
John Barrymore (2/15/1882 – 5/29/1942)

Portrait of Lionel, Ethel, and John Barrymore for Rasputin and the Empress, 1932 ‘As I looked at them through the camera’, wrote Clarence Bull in 1968, ‘I got the shock of my life. They all looked alike. All looked alike no matter how I posed them.  The bond between them was both amazing and frightening.’
