Acting Genes

Born February 22, 1975, Drew Barrymore (pictured in 1983) had acting in her blood from birth. Her father, John Drew Barrymore, hailed from the Barrymore acting dynasty (which began with her great-grandparents) while mother Jaid (born Ildiko Jaid Mako) was also an actress. (Shortly after she was born, her mother divorced her dad.) At only 11 months old, baby Drew landed her first role in a Puppy Chow commercial.
