Introducing Acting Royalty: The Fifth Annual Trilogy Barrymore Blogathon has cometh!

I am absolutely thrilled that the day my lovely co-host, Crystal, and I have been waiting for, has arrived! For the next two days we will be celebrating one of the greatest acting trios and most famous siblings to ever grace the sawdust stage and silver screen!

So without further ado (yes, John, that includes you, please wait for your turn, sir) let’s begin!

Gill from Realweemidget Reviews starts with The Paradine Case, which stars Ethel along with Gregory Peck and Louis Jourdan in a web of murder and love! Who could ask for anything more?

I follow with a tribute to one of the Kings of My Heart, Mr John Barrymore

Love Letters To Old Hollywood takes us through the winding shadows of The Spiral Staircase.
