Whoever would have thought that the cutsie little sister from Steven Spielberg’s E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial would one day become one of the most sought after Hollywood celebrities. Yes, we are talking about Drew Barrymore, the child actress who is now pursuing a career in acting full time and that too with much aplomb and credit.
Drew Blyth Barrymore came into this world on February 22, 1975 in Barrymore was born in Culver City, California, to American actor John Drew Barrymore and Ildiko Jaid Barrymore, who was an aspiring actress. Her parents divorced after she was born. She has a half-brother John Blyth Barrymore, also an actor, and two half-sisters, Blyth Dolores Barrymore and Brahma (Jessica) Blyth Barrymore.
Barrymore’s knack for acting can be accredited to her hailing from a background of established and known actors of their generations as far as 200 years ago. John Drew, Louisa Lane Drew, her great-grandparents Maurice Barrymore, Georgiana Drew, Maurice Costello and Mae Costello, and her grandparents John Barrymore and Dolores Costello are some of the names depicting the glorious past of the Drew family in the history of acting.
