Lionel Barrymore talking with James Stewart as Frank Capra looks on on the set of "It's a Wonderful Life." Born on this date in 1878 in Philadelphia, Barrymore was one of the great actors of stage and screen of his generation. He won the Academy Award for Best Actor for his performance in "A Free Soul," but he is perhaps best remembered for his performance in Capra's all-time holiday season classic.
