Adding depth to the acting dynasty known as “The Barrymores”
(John, Ethel, and Lionel), Drew Blyth Barrymore was born on
February 22, 1975 in Culver City, California. She began her
career as a young girl, starring in the Steven Spielberg production
of “ET: Extra Terrestrial” in 1992.
Since her Hollywood debut as a child, Drew has found her
way through a slew of drugs, paparazzi, and film credentials
that have allowed Drew to establish herself as a self-made
actress who simply succeeded via her talent.
Drew was married briefly to ex-husband Jeremy Thomas for
a little over a year beginning in 1994. Her most memorable
marriage however, was to that of eccentric Reality Show/Actor/freak,
Tom Green. The two married in 2001 and were hounded by the
press until their divorce in 2002.
In 1997 Drew was chosen by “People” magazine as one of the
50 Most Beautiful People in the World.
Her lineage precedes her. She is the daughter of John and
Jaid Barrymore. What’s more, she is the granddaughter of John
Barrymore and Dolores Costello (father’s side) and the great-granddaughter
of silent film protégé Maurice and Mae Costello, as well as
the god-daughter of Steven Spielberg.
At the tender age of seven, Drew was the youngest
person ever selected to host “Saturday Night Live”.
In 2004 Drew joined her family’s corner on the
Hollywood Walk of Fame with a star of her own.
