4. The Barrymores
Those who are only aware of the current generation of Hollywood starlets may think Drew Barrymore came from an ordinary, average family, but that’s about as far from the truth as you could get. Acting is in the Barrymore blood, and her family tree has four generations of entertainers. Barrymore’s great-grandparents were actors, her great-aunt Ethel was a stage actress in Britain and the U.S., her great-uncle Lionel was a character actor and director with over 200 film credits to his name, her grandfather John was an absolute Hollywood superstar in the 1920s and 30s, her grandmother Dolores was a silent-screen star, and even her parents were actors. I mean, it would almost be ridiculous for Drew to have pursued any other career path – it’s pretty much meant to be with a lineage like that.
