“Richard Barthelmess”的意思、由来-开放百科全书

Barthelmess was born in New York City, the son of Caroline W. Harris, a stage actress,^[2]^[3] and Alfred W. Barthelmess.^[4] His father died when he was a year old.^[5] Through his mother, he grew up in the theatre, doing "walk-ons" from an early age. In contrast to that, he was educated at Hudson River Military Academy at Nyack and Trinity College at Hartford, Connecticut.^[6] He did some acting in college and other amateur productions. By 1919 he had five years in stock company experience.^[7]

Career

Russian actress Alla Nazimova, a friend of the family, was taught English by Caroline Barthelmess.^[8] Nazimova convinced Richard Barthelmess to try acting professionally, and he made his debut screen appearance in 1916 in the serial Gloria's Romance as an uncredited extra. He also appeared as a supporting player in several films starring Marguerite Clark.

His next role, in War Brides opposite Nazimova, attracted the attention of director D.W. Griffith, who offered him several important roles, finally casting him opposite Lillian Gish in Broken Blossoms (1919) and Way Down East (1920). He founded his own production company, Inspiration Film Company, together with Charles Duell and Henry King. One of their films, Tol'able David (1921), in which Barthelmess starred as a teenage mailman who finds courage, was a major success. In 1922, Photoplay described him as the "idol of every girl in America."^[9]

Barthelmess had a large female following during the 1920s. An admirer wrote to the editor of Picture-Play Magazine in 1921:

Barthelmess soon became one of Hollywood's highest paid performers, starring in such classics as The Patent Leather Kid in 1927 and The Noose in 1928; he was nominated for Best Actor at the first Academy Awards for his performance in both films. In addition, he won a special citation for producing The Patent Leather Kid.

With the advent of the sound era, Barthelmess' fortunes changed. He made several talkie films, most notably Son of the Gods (1930), The Dawn Patrol (1930), The Last Flight (1931), and The Cabin in the Cotton (1932), Central Airport (1933), and a supporting role as a disgraced pilot and Rita Hayworth's character's husband in Only Angels Have Wings (1939).

Post-acting career

Barthelmess failed to maintain the stardom of his silent film days and gradually left entertainment. He enlisted in the United States Navy Reserve during World War II, and served as a lieutenant commander. He never returned to film, preferring instead to live off his investments.

Personal life

Marriages and family

On June 18, 1920, Barthelmess married Mary Hay, a stage and screen star, in New York.^[2] They had one daughter, Mary Barthelmess, before divorcing.^[11]

In 1927, Barthelmess became engaged to Katherine Young Wilson, a Broadway actress.^[12]^[13] However, the engagement was called off, possibly due to his affair about this time with the journalist Adela Rogers St. Johns.^[14]

In 1928, Barthelmess married Jessica Stewart Sargent.^[2] He would later adopt her son Stewart from a previous marriage. They remained married until Barthelmess’ death in 1963.

Death

Barthelmess died of throat cancer on August 17, 1963, aged 68, in Southampton, New York.^[2] He was interred at the Ferncliff Cemetery and Mausoleum in Hartsdale, New York.
