Born Diana Blanche Barrymore Blythe in New York City, New York, Diana Barrymore was the daughter of renowned actor [[John Barrymore]] and his second wife, poet [[Blanche Oelrichs]]. She was a niece of her father's acting siblings [[Lionel Barrymore|Lionel]] and [[Ethel Barrymore]], and stepdaughter of her father's third wife [[Dolores Costello]], through whom she had two half-siblings, Dolores and actor [[John Drew Barrymore]]. She also had two older half brothers, Leonard Jr. and Robin, from her mother's first marriage to Leonard Moorhead Thomas.

Her parents' tumultuous marriage lasted only a few years and they divorced when she was four. Educated in Paris, France and at schools in New York City, she had little contact with her estranged father, a situation exacerbated by her mother's bitterness towards him. Her parenting was left to boarding schools and nannies.

Her father died in 1942 from cirrhosis of the liver after years of alcoholism. Barrymore's life became a series of alcohol- and drug-related disasters marked by bouts of severe depression that resulted in several suicide attempts and extended sanitarium stays. She squandered her movie earnings and her inheritance from her father's estate, and when her mother died in 1950, Diana was left with virtually nothing from a once-vast family fortune. In 1949, she was offered her own television talk show titled ''The Diana Barrymore Show''. The show was set to broadcast, but Barrymore didn't show up, and the program was immediately canceled. Had she gone through with the show, it would have been the first talk show in television history, predating [[Joe Franklin]] by two years. In the early 1950s, she and third husband toured Australia and upon returning to the United States, she expressed her dislike for the continent.<ref>[https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1300&dat=19520315&id=b8lFAAAAIBAJ&sjid=wL0DAAAAIBAJ&pg=3788,1806603&hl=en THE AGE "Diana Barrymore Dislikes Australia"; March 15, 1952]</ref>

Diana Blanche Barrymore Blythe (March 3, 1921 – January 25, 1960), known professionally as Diana Barrymore, was an American film and stage actress.

Early life

[edit]

Born Diana Blanche Barrymore Blythe in New York, New York, Diana Barrymore was the daughter of actor John Barrymore and his second wife, poet Blanche Oelrichs.

Her parents divorced when she was four years old. Educated in Paris and New York City, Barrymore had little contact with her father.

Career

[edit]
Diana Barrymore and Robert Keith in Romantic Mr. Dickens (1940), Barrymore's Broadway debut

While in her teens, Barrymore decided to study acting and enrolled at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts. Because of the prominence of the Barrymore name in the world of theatre, her move onto the stage began with much publicity including a 1939 cover of Life. At age 19, Barrymore made her Broadway debut and the following year made her first appearance in movies with a small role in a Warner Bros. production. In 1942, she signed a contract with Universal Studios who capitalized on her Barrymore name with a major promotional campaign billing her as "1942's Most Sensational New Screen Personality." However, alcohol and drug problems soon emerged and negative publicity from major media sources dampened her prospects. After less than three years in Hollywood, and six significant film roles at Universal, Barrymore's personal problems ended her career.[1]

Diana Barrymore in 1941

Her father John died in 1942 from cirrhosis of the liver after years of alcoholism. Diana Barrymore's life became a series of alcohol- and drug-related disasters marked by bouts of severe depression that resulted in several suicide attempts and extended sanitarium stays. She squandered her movie earnings and her inheritance from her father's estate, and when her mother died in 1950, Diana was left with virtually nothing from a once-vast family fortune. In 1949, she was offered her own television talk show titled The Diana Barrymore Show. The show was prepared for broadcast, but Barrymore didn't show up, and the program was immediately canceled. Had she gone through with the show, it would have been the first talk show in television history, predating Joe Franklin by two years. In the early 1950s, she and her third husband toured Australia and upon returning to the United States, she expressed her dislike for the continent.[2]

After three bad marriages to addicted and sometimes abusive men, in 1955 Barrymore had herself hospitalized for nearly a full year of treatment. In 1957, she published her autobiography, Too Much, Too Soon, with help and encouragement from ghostwriter Gerold Frank, which included her portrait painted by Spurgeon Tucker. In July 1957, she promoted the book by appearing on Mike Wallace's TV show The Mike Wallace Interview.[3] Her statements included: “At the moment, I don’t drink. I hope to be able, one day, in perhaps the near future [or] the very distant future, to be able to drink like a normal human being. That may never be possible.”[4]

The following year, Warner Bros. released a movie version of Too Much, Too Soon starring Dorothy Malone as Barrymore and Errol Flynn as her father. The film was not a success with critics or moviegoers.[5]

Personal life and death

[edit]

Barrymore was married to, and divorced from, actor Bramwell Fletcher and tennis player John Howard. Her last marriage was to actor Robert Wilcox. The marriage to Wilcox ended in June 1955 when he died of a heart attack at the age of 44, while traveling by train.[6]

Barrymore died on January 25, 1960, and she is interred in the Woodlawn Cemetery in The Bronx, New York, next to her mother.[7] Her death has been attributed to a drug overdose, but her autopsy failed to find a cause of death and found no indication of overdose.[8]
