THE SECOND ANNUAL BARRYMORE TRILOGY BLOGATHON HAS NOW ARRIVED

On August 15, 2016August 25, 2016 By In The Good Old Days Of Classic Hollywood

This time last year I was celebrating the successful run of my first ever blogathon that I hosted, and that was the Barrymore Trilogy Blogathon. Now we’re back in August again, and I can hardly believe that it’s been a year since the auspicious event took place.

I am thrilled that this is going to be an annual event. Last year I received innumerable spectacular entries that covered a wide array of topics relating to all members of the Barrymore family, and I’m sure that this year will bring the same.

I will be updating this page daily as I receive each entry. A big thank you to all participants who registered for the blogathon. I look forward to reading all your entries, and a very happy 136th Birthday to Ethel Barrymore. This is for you Ethel.

My post on John Barrymore and Douglas Fairbanks, Jr.’s, relationship is here. As well as a brief excerpt on “Women Love Diamonds” with Lionel Barrymore. I had intended to write more on that but my research came up too short this time around unfortunately. Thanks for hosting, I am looking forward to reading the entries!
