Personality assessment

Richard became a perfect hero. (David Griffith Review)

Of all the men who appeared in front of the camera, Richard had the most beautiful face. (lillian gish Review)

Richard Barthelmess was very popular in the silent film era, although few people remember him today. He has a beautiful and expressive face, dark brown hair and eyes. When the camera zoomed in, the expression on his face came to life. Few actors can compare with him. Unlike many silent film actors, Richard had a very good acting career in the early to mid-1960s.
