Barrymore's mother was born in a Displaced Persons camp in Brannenburg, West Germany to Hungarian World War II refugees. Barrymore's father was of mainly English and [6] [1] [7] Irish ancestry. Her parents divorced after she was born. She has one half-brother, John Blyth Barrymore, also an actor, and two half-sisters, Blyth Dolores Barrymore and (Brahma) Jessica Blyth Barrymore. Barrymore was born into acting: her great-grandparents Maurice Barrymore and Georgie Drew Barrymore, Maurice [8] Costello and Mae Costello (néeher grandparents John Barrymore and Dolores Costello, were allAltschuk) and [8] [1] [9] actors; John Barrymore was arguably the most acclaimed actor of his generation. She is the niece of Diana [10] Barrymore and the grandniece of Lionel Barrymore, Ethel Barrymore and Helene Costello, the great-great-granddaughter of John Drew and actress Louisa Lane Drew, and the great grandniece of Broadway idol [11] John Drew, Jr. and silent film actor/writer/director Sidney Drew. She is also the god-daughter of director Steven [3] [12] Spielberg, and Sophia Loren. Her first name, Drew , was the maiden name of her paternal great-grandmother, Georgie Drew Barrymore; her middle name, Blyth, was the original surname of the dynasty founded by her great-grandfather, Maurice [3] Barrymore.

Career

Early career

Barrymore's career began when she was auditioned for a dog food [3] commercial at 11 months old. When she was bitten by her canine co-star, the producers were afraid she would cry, but she merely [3] laughed, and was hired for the job. She made her film debut in [1] Altered States(1980), in which she got a small part. A year later, she landed the role of Gertie, the younger sister of Elliott, inE.T. the [3] Extra-TerrestrialShe received a Golden, which made her famous. Globe nomination for Best Supporting Actress in 1984 for her role in Irreconcilable Differences, in which she starred as a young girl [3] [13] divorcing her parents. In a review in theChicago Sun-Times, Roger Ebert states: "Barrymore is the right actress for this role [14] precisely because she approaches it with such grave calm."

Rebellious era

In the wake of this sudden stardom, Barrymore endured a notoriously troubled childhood. She was already a regular at the famed Studio 54 when she was a little girl, smoking cigarettes at age nine, drinking alcohol by the time she was 11, smoking marijuana at 12, and snorting [1] [3] cocaine at 13. Her nightlife and constant partying became a [1] [1] [3] popular subject with the media. She was in rehab at age 13. A suicide attempt at age 14 put her back in rehab, followed by a [9] three-month stay with singer David Crosby and his wife. The stay was precipitated, Crosby said, because she "needed to be around some Barrymore with Corey Feldman at the 61st [9] Academy Awards, March 29, 1989 people that were committed to sobriety." Barrymore later described this period of her life in her autobiography,Little Girl Lost.The next [9] year, following a successful juvenile court petition for emancipation, she moved into her own apartment.

In her late teens, her rebelliousness played itself out on screen and in print. Barrymore forged an image as a manipulative teenage seductress, beginning with the filmPoison Ivy(1992), which was a box office failure, but was [1] [15] popular on video and cable. That same year, at the age of 17, she posed nude for the cover of the July issue of Interviewmagazine with her then-fiancb, actor Jamie Walters, as well as appearing nude in pictures inside the [16] issue. She also underwent breast reduction surgery in 1992, and has said on the subject: I really love my body and the way it is right now. There's something very awkward about women and their breasts because men look at them so much. When they're huge, you become very self-conscious. Your back hurts. You find that whatever you wear, you look heavy in. It's uncomfortable. I've learned something, though, [17] about breasts through my years of pondering and pontificating, and that is: Men love them, and I love that. [13] In 1993, Barrymore earned a second Golden Globe nomination, this time for the filmGuncrazy. Barrymore [18] [19] would go on to pose nude for the January 1995 issue ofPlayboy.

Enclosed were copies of herPlayboypictures, with the pictures altered by his art [20] department so that she appeared fully clothed. During a 1995 appearance onLate Show with David Letterman, Barrymore climbed onto David Letterman's desk and bared her breasts to him, her back to the camera, in celebration [9] [21] of his birthday. She modeled in a series ofGuess?jeans ads during this time.

The following year, she made a cameo in the successful horror filmScream. Barrymore [1] [25] has continued to be highly bankable, and a top box office draw. She was frequently cast in romantic comedies [26] [27] such asWishful Thinking(1997),The Wedding Singer(1998), andHome Fries(1998). Barrymore's role in the costume dramaEver After(1998) offered a modern take on the classic fairy tale of Cinderella and served as a reminder, according to Roger Ebert, of how well Drew Barrymore "can hold the screen and involve us in her [28] characters". Besides a number of appearances in films produced by her company, Flower Films, includingCharlie's Angels, Barrymore had a dramatic role in the comedy/dramaRiding in Cars with Boys(2001), playing a teenage mother in a [1] failed marriage with the drug-addicted father (based on the real-life story of Beverly D'Onofrio). In 2002, [29] Barrymore appeared inConfessions of a Dangerous Mind, alongside Sam Rockwell and Julia Roberts.

When the production of Richard Kelly's debut film, Donnie Darko, was threatened, Barrymore stepped forward with financing from Flower Films and took the small role of Karen [33] Pomeroy, the title character's English teacher. Although the film was less than successful at the box office in the wake of 9/11, it reached cult film status after the DVD release, inspiring numerous [33] websites devoted to unraveling the plot twists and meanings.

In 2011, it was announced that Barrymore has been cast alongside John Krasinski in Ken Kwapis'sBig Miracle (2012), a romantic drama based on the 1989 bookFreeing the Whales, which covers Operation Breakthrough, the [45] 1988 international effort to rescue gray whales from being trapped in ice near Point Barrow, Alaska.
