Too Much, Too Soon	comment	Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Too Much, Too Soon is a 1958 film directed by Art Napoleon, starring Dorothy Malone and Errol Flynn.It's a biopic of Hollywood starlet and heiress Diana Barrymore, based on her own memoir of the same title. The film opens in the late 1930s with Diana (Malone), a teenager, desperate to start a relationship with the father she barely knows, acting legend John Barrymore. Her mother, Michael (Neva Patterson) warns her that her father is an unreliable alcoholic wreck, but she goes out to California anyway. It turns out that John (Flynn) is in fact an unreliable alcoholic wreck. They get along together relatively well but John eventually hears the call of parties and the bottle and sends Diana back home.A little time passes and Diana, born to wealth and with nothing else to do, goes to Hollywood again to give acting a shot. As it turns out she has little talent but gets a movie contract based on her name (both her father and her uncle Lionel Barrymore were huge stars). She connects with her father again, but John Barrymore soon dies of alcoholism. Grief-stricken and guilt-ridden over her father's death, Diana takes to the bottle herself, and follows her father's path.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })In Real Life, Diana Barrymore died of alcohol and drug addiction in 1960 at the age of 38, less than two years after this movie was released. And Errol Flynn died barely a year later of a heart attack brought on by alcohol abuse.

Too Much, Too Soon / int_e67ff203	comment	Absence Makes the Heart Go Yonder: One of Diana's problems is an extreme neediness that renders her incapable of being alone. When her first husband Vincent goes off to shoot a movie, she engages in an alcohol bender that leads to her cheating on him, and him dumping her when he gets home and catches her with another man.
