You grow up the day you have your first laugh–at yourself. ~~Ethel Barrymore
According to this definition, I am quite the grown-up.
Barrymore was a member of the famous Barrymore-Drew acting family, some of whom were known as much for their talent as for their foibles, especially when alcohol was involved. The family talent still shines brightly in her grand-niece, Drew Barrymore.
Ethel’s life wasn’t always what she wanted it to be, but she knew an important truth. Laughing at yourself makes it easier!
