![]() They adopt and raise children from former marriages and from spouses’ former relationships. Other acting families are even more confusing. Actors marry each other, divorce frequently, and have children by many partners. Most of the men in the family are named John, which doesn’t make it easier to follow the trail. There have many marriages and a slew of children. ![]() The Barrymore genealogy is complicated because it is extensive. Non-speaking and cameo roles do not count, nor does work as a TV announcer, talk show host, or sportscaster. Mere celebrity does not count. No actors, so they don’t count for the purposes of this post. There was a Frank Capra I, II and III, so it seemed likely to be members of the same family. Garry wondered if this was a fourth generation of Capras. It started when we noticed a Capra listed as a crew member of an NCIS episode. Garry and I were trying to guess how many acting dynasties include at least three generations, in which at least one family member in each generation has done something noteworthy as an actor. John Drew, Diana, Drew, and John Blyth are the only descendants of John Barrymore who became actors. Only one has been on stage and screen for more than 100 years, the royal family of stage and screen, the Barrymores.Īs of this writing, Drew Barrymore is her generation’s only working actor. Several families have two or three generations of actors and a couple of families have three or more generations of directors. That’s no small thing because she is this generation’s only representative of what is the longest running act in show business. It was a treat listening to her observations. Probably we’re a bit old-fashioned, but all that stuff does is turn my stomach.įor a few years, Drew Barrymore was working on Turner Classic movies with Robert Osborne, discussing and introducing classic movies. I’m pretty sure this could have been a witty, entertaining show without the massive quantities of vomit, blood, and torn out internal organs. If anyone in the movie world could be considered royalty, Drew Barrymore has got to be “it.” Regardless, I don’t think I’ll be watching this show ever. Garry commented that “It’s probably a matter of personal taste.” That was his way of saying “Ew, disgusting, yuck, I’ll never watch it again.” She’s a Barrymore, so he’s being polite. If you are a huge fan of blood, gore, and massive quantities of vomit, this might be the right show for you. She certainly dresses a lot better than any other zombie I’ve seen on the screen. It’s funny because she’s a very suburban and rather bouncy zombie. It’s called “The Santa Clarita Diet.” She has, in this story, become a zombie. This week, we tuned into Drew Barrymore’s latest show on Netflix. THE BARRYMORES: AMERICA’S ROYAL FAMILY OF ACTORS Home › Celebrities › THE BARRYMORES: AMERICA’S ROYAL FAMILY OF ACTORS
