Drew's talent is a family heritage: The name Barrymore conjures up an unparalleled line of theatrical greats stretching back to the 19th-century English actor Maurice Barrymore, his actress wife, Georgiana Drew, and the theater and film standouts Lionel and Ethel, Drew's great-aunt and-uncle. But if acting is one Barrymore legacy, so too is tragedy. Grandfather John Barrymore, one of the finest Shakespearean and movie actors of the 1920s and '30s, drank himself to death at age 60. Aunt Diana Barrymore confessed her reckless hunger for booze and drugs in the 1957 best-seller Too Much, Too Soon. Drew's father, sometime actor and poet John Drew Barrymore, has a history of alcoholism and drug arrests and hasn't seen his daughter in seven years. Of them all, little Drew seems to have been driven earliest by the dark Barrymore destiny.
