Great Profile. Sobriquet for actor John Barrymore (1882– 1942) of the theater’s “royal family.” Known for his chiseled, matinee-idol good looks, he had great success on stage in such roles as Hamlet, then appeared in many films before declining into alcohol abuse. One of his last movies was The Great Profile (1940), in which he parodied his own reputation. |
