John Barrymore was an actor of the 1910s to the 1940s, widely considered to be the finest stage actor of his time! He is also well remembered for his many movies, including: the 1919 version of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, the 1920 version of Sherlock Holmes, Twentieth Century, Counselor at Law, Dinner at Eight, and Grand Hotel. He was nicknamed "The Great Profile". His brother Lionel, and his sister Ethel, were also extremely accomplished stage and movie actors, and they appeared in a single movie together, Rasputin and the Empress. He had a tumultuous private life, and fought alcoholism, and was married four times. He is the father of John Drew Barrymore, and the grandfather of Drew Barrymore. He passed away in 1942 at the age of 60.

Important Added Info:

MGM created two different sets of personality posters in the 1930s to promote their stars. The earlier set was made in 1932, and this poster comes from that set. These posters are extremely rare as few theaters ordered them, and fewer still saved them!

Condition: very good. As is typical with these MGM personality posters, there are a few minor chips out of the borders. There is a larger chip out of the bottom of the center of the poster in the lower right corner.. Note that due to the type of paper these posters were printed on, they must be sent in large flat packages. If you are from outside the United States, this poster will cost a lot to send, as the package will be very large. Please take this into account before placing a bid. If you are from inside the United States, we will only charge our normal shipping, even though it will cost us much more than that to send properly!
