Early life
Ancestry
See also: Barrymore family
Barrymore was born in Culver City, California, to actor John Drew Barrymore (1932–2004) and Jaid (born Ildikó Jaid Makó; 1946-),[1][6] an aspiring actress. Barrymore's mother was born in a displaced persons camp in Brannenburg, West Germany, to Hungarian World War II refugees.[7] Her parents divorced in 1984, when she was nine years old.[1] She is one of four children with a half-brother, John,[8] who is also an actor.
Anne Helm and father John Drew Barrymore in Gunsmoke (1964)
Barrymore was born into acting: all of her paternal great-grandparents – Maurice Barrymore and Georgie Drew Barrymore, and Maurice Costello and Mae Costello (née Altschuk)[9] – as well as her paternal grandparents, John Barrymore and Dolores Costello, were actors;[9] John Barrymore was arguably the most acclaimed actor of his generation.[1][10] She is a niece of Diana Barrymore as well as a grandniece of Lionel Barrymore, Ethel Barrymore and Helene Costello,[11] a great-great-granddaughter of Irish-born John Drew and English-born Louisa Lane Drew, all of whom were actors, and a great-grandniece of Broadway idol John Drew, Jr. and silent film actor, writer and director Sidney Drew.[12] Her godmothers are Lee Strasberg's widow Anna Strasberg[13] and actress Sophia Loren,[14] and her godfather is director Steven Spielberg.[4][5][15][16][17]
Her first name, "Drew", was the maiden name of her paternal great-grandmother, Georgie Drew Barrymore, and her middle name, "Blythe," was the original surname of the dynasty founded by her great-grandfather, Maurice Barrymore.[4] Barrymore recounted in her 1989 autobiography, Little Girl Lost, early memories of her abusive father, who left the family when Barrymore was six months old. They never had anything resembling a significant relationship and seldom spoke to each other.[18]
Childhood
Barrymore grew up on Poinsetta Place in West Hollywood until the age of 7, when she moved to Sherman Oaks.[19] In her 2015 memoir Wildflower, she says she talks "like a valley girl" because she grew up in Sherman Oaks.[19] She moved back to West Hollywood upon becoming emancipated at 14.[19] Barrymore attended elementary school at Fountain Day School in West Hollywood and Country School.[20] [21]
In the wake of her sudden stardom, Barrymore endured a notoriously troubled childhood. She was already a regular at the notorious Studio 54 as a young girl, smoking cigarettes at the age of nine, drinking alcohol at age eleven, smoking marijuana at age twelve and snorting cocaine at age thirteen.[1][4] Her nightlife and constant partying became a popular subject with the media.[1] She was in rehab at the age of fourteen,[1][4] where she spent eighteen months in an institution for the mentally ill.[22] A suicide attempt, also at age fourteen,[contradictory] put her back in rehab, followed by a three-month stay with singer David Crosby (of rock group Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young fame) and his wife.[10] The stay was precipitated, Crosby said, because she "needed to be around some people that were committed to sobriety."[10] Barrymore later described this period of her life in her autobiography, Little Girl Lost. After a successful juvenile court petition for emancipation, she moved into her own apartment at the age of fifteen.[18][18][10]
In June 1988, Barrymore confronted her mother Jaid after an evening of heavy drinking. She began breaking glass objects until Jaid left. Shortly thereafter, a friend of Barrymore's and the friend's mother entered the house and whisked her into a waiting car. They took her to ASAP, a Van Nuys rehabilitation clinic, where she remained for twelve days.[18] Barrymore returned to Los Angeles and continued her therapy. Six days later, she boarded a plane for New York to audition for a play. Her stay in New York proved to be her downfall, as she found that cocaine was easily available in nightclubs. One day later, she stole Jaid's credit card and flew with a friend back to Los Angeles, bought more cocaine, and went on an unauthorized shopping spree. Barrymore was quickly taken back to ASAP by private agents who were hired by Jaid.[18]
Barrymore's second stay at the clinic was less effective in the long term than the first. In March 1989, she went out to celebrate six months of sobriety. The friend she was with had a small amount of marijuana and Barrymore could not resist. She began feeling guilty over the fact that Jaid was unaware of her return to drugs and their relationship deteriorated. In June 1989, Barrymore moved into an apartment with a friend and struggled with her depression, which triggered a suicide attempt on July 4, 1989. Immediately after Barrymore slashed her wrists, a friend entered the apartment and rushed her to the hospital. From there, she returned to ASAP for more treatment. At the urging of her counselors, Barrymore, Crosby and Jan Dance were released from custody in October 1989. One of Barrymore's counselors and Crosby's friend made the arrangement with hopes that a more supportive environment would help Barrymore control her habits. Jaid agreed to begin therapy to address her codependency with Drew, and begin to foster a more positive and structured relationship with her daughter.[18]
Career
1980s

Barrymore's professional career began at age 11-months, when she auditioned for a dog food commercial.[4] She was nipped by her canine co-star, and the producers were afraid that she would cry, but she merely laughed and was hired for the job.[4] After her film debut with a small role in Altered States (1980),[1] she played Gertie in E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982), directed by Steven Spielberg. He felt that Barrymore had the right imagination for her role after she impressed him with a story that she led a punk rock band.[23] E.T. is the highest-grossing film of the 1980s and made her one of the most famous child stars of the time. For her role, she earned a Young Artist Award for Best Supporting Actress.[4][24]
In the science fiction horror adaptation of the 1980 eponymous Stephen King novel Firestarter (1984), Barrymore played a girl having pyrokinesis and becomes the target of a secret government agency known as The Shop. In 1984, she played a young girl divorcing her famous parents in Irreconcilable Differences, for which she was nominated for her first Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress.[4][25] In a review in the Chicago Sun-Times, Roger Ebert stated: "Barrymore is the right actress for this role precisely because she approaches it with such grave calm."[26]
Barrymore endured a troubled youth and she continued to act intermittently during the 1980s. She starred in the anthology horror film Cat's Eye (1985), written by Stephen King. The film received positive reviews and earned Barrymore a Young Artist Award nomination for Best Leading Young Actress.[27][28] She played Cathy Goodwill, the daughter of Beth (Alice Krige) in the romantic comedy See You in the Morning (1989). The New York Times criticized "the fashionable phoniness" of the film, but positively singled out Barrymore for her performance.[29]
After her twelve-day rehab treatment at ASAP,[30] Barrymore starred in Far from Home (1989), as a teenager who gets stranded with her father at the small town on a remote part of the desert. The film went largely unnoticed by audiences and received negative reviews from critics, who dismissed the sexual portrayal of her role.[31]
1990s
Barrymore with Corey Feldman at the 61st Academy Awards, March 29, 1989
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 Poison Ivy (1992), which was a box office failure, but was popular on video and cable.[1][32] Her character Ivy was ranked at #6 on the list of the top 26 "bad girls" of all time by Entertainment Weekly.[33] Also in 1992, at age seventeen, she posed nude for the cover of the July issue of Interview magazine with her then-fiancé, actor Jamie Walters, as well as appearing nude in pictures inside the issue.[34]
In the crime thriller Guncrazy (1992), she starred as a teenager who murders her sexually abusive stepfather after he teaches her how to use a gun.[25] Variety remarked she "pulls off impressively" her character,[35] for which she earned her second Golden Globe Award nomination. In 1993, she took on the role of the younger sister of a murdered ballerina in No Place to Hide and starred as a writer followed by what is apparently her evil twin in Doppelganger. Both thrillers were panned by critics and failed to find an audience.[36][37][38] She appeared in the western comedy Bad Girls (1994), which follows four former prostitutes on the run following a justifiable homicide and prison escape. Roger Ebert, in his review for the film, wrote for Chicago Sun-Times: "What a good idea, to make a Western about four tough women. And what a sad movie."[39]
When she was nineteen, she posed nude for the January 1995 issue of Playboy.[40][41] Steven Spielberg, who is also her godfather, gave her a quilt for her twentieth birthday with a note that read, "Cover yourself up."[4] Enclosed were copies of her Playboy pictures, with the pictures altered by his art department so that she appeared fully clothed.[42] During her appearance on the Late Show with David Letterman, Barrymore climbed onto David Letterman's desk and bared her breasts to him, her back to the camera, in celebration of his birthday.[10] She modeled in a series of Guess? jeans ads during this time.[43]
By the mid and late 1990s, Barrymore re-established her image and continued to be a highly bankable star.[1][44] In Boys on the Side (1995), Barrymore played a pregnant girl who wants to escape from her abusive boyfriend.[45] The film went little seen in theaters but was positively received by critics.[46] In the same year, she appeared in Joel Schumacher's film Batman Forever, as Sugar, a moll to Two-Face (Tommy Lee Jones).[47][48] In 1996, she made a brief but notable appearance in Wes Craven's slasher Scream.

In The Wedding Singer (1998), Barrymore played Julia Sullivan, the friendly waitress of Robbie Hart (Adam Sandler).[52] Variety found the film to be a "spirited, funny and warm saga" that serves them up "in a new way that enhances their most winning qualities".[53] Budgeted at US$18 million, the film grossed US$123.3 million internationally.[54] That same year, she starred in Home Fries,[55] and Ever After which is inspired by the fairy tale Cinderella and served as a reminder, according to Roger Ebert, of how well Barrymore "can hold the screen and involve us in her characters".[56] She played the title role in the television special Olive, the Other Reindeer, for which she was nominated for an Primetime Emmy Award.[57] After Barrymore and Nancy Juvonen formed their company, Flower Films, in 1995,[58] she produced the company's first film, Never Been Kissed (1999), released to critical and commercial success.[59]

Personal life
In 1992, she underwent breast reduction surgery 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, about breasts through my years of pondering and pontificating, and that is: Men love them, and I love that."[123]
Concerning her sexuality, Barrymore said in an interview with Contact Music in 2003, "Do I like women sexually? Yeah, I do. Totally. I have always considered myself bisexual."[124] Barrymore was quoted in 2004 as saying, "A woman and a woman together are beautiful, just as a man and a woman together are beautiful.
