Dolores Costello.
Costello & Barrymore on their wedding day: 24 November 1928.
John Drew Barrymore & his mum, Dolores Costello.
Dolores Costello married John Barrymore in 1928, who said of her "I just laid eyes upon the most preposterously lovely creature in all the world. She walked into the studio like a charming child, slender and shy and golden-haired. Never saw such radiance. My God! I knew that she was the one I had been waiting for. Waiting all my life, just for her." When the two starred together in "The sea beast" in 1926, Dolores fainted in John's arms during their kissing scene.
However her marriage to John Barrymore proved to be a difficult one due to his increasing alcoholism, and they divorced in 1935. Costello resumed her career a year later and achieved some successes, most notably in 'Little Lord Fauntleroy' (1936), and 'The Magnificent Ambersons' (1942).
