Spanning over six generations, two continents, and three centuries, the family of actors that would be known as the Barrymores has become an emblem of the American stage and screen. From
Elizabethan England to present-day Hollywood, there has never been a more talented, romantic, and complex family tree. For the Barrymores, acting was truly in the blood.
The Barrymores: Hollywood's First Family documents the history of America's acting dynasty in words and pictures with never-before-seen photos from the Barrymore collection. Including beautiful
portraits from John and Dolores's honeymoon, film stills, and dozens of other rare photographs, this collection is the first to fully present the glamour and the legend that is Barrymore.
