Lionel Barrymore (April 28, 1878 – November 15, 1954) was an American actor of stage, screen and radio as well as a film director. He won an Academy Award for Best Actor for his performance in "A Free Soul" (1931), and remains perhaps best known for the role of the villainous Mr. Potter character in Frank Capra's 1946 film "It's a Wonderful Life". Barrymore was a skillful graphic artist. For years, he maintained an artist's shop and studio attached to his home in Los Angeles. His etchings and drawings are prized by collectors around the world.
