Dick Barrymore was born in 1933 in California. He was one of a small group of ski movie makers who traversed the country for many years showing and personally narrating, with wit and humor, their films at ski clubs, auditoriums and movie houses.
Dick, who is not related to the “famous” movie Barrymore (he says he is the “famous” one) made nine 90-minute features including The Last of the Ski Bums and Ski West Young Man for his ski club showings. He also shot 30 short films, including A Bit of Madness, The Derby, The Portillo Story and Canadian Mt. Holiday.
Two films for K2 and The Performers were early depictions of free-style skiing. In over thirty years of shooting ski film all over the world, he along with John Jay and Warren Miller delighted untold thousands of snow lovers all over the USA and undoubtedly induced hordes of curious viewers to try the sport.
