John D. Barrymore with Drew 2001 Santa Monica Mountains Photograph by Michael Green. Long Lost Father, Adamson's uncle Harold Adamson wrote a song "It Isn't So Much That I Wouldn't" for the film of the same name Long Lost Father starring John Barrymore, Sr. in 1934. John, Jr. seen in the photo with Drew was only 2 years old in 1934.

Drew Blythe Barrymore -

Drew was born at Brotman Hospital in Culver City and since her parents separated before she was born Drew has learned to cope on her own. She once told The New York Times "I really have no idea of what growing up in a normal household is like." In 1984 Drew Barrymore gave a great performance in Firestarter, with George C. Scott. Drew took on the entire U.S. government and won in this film. I personally found Drew's performance more emotionalin Firestarter than E.T. and worried truly for Drew's safety. George C.Scott had married Colleen Dewhurst who grew up with my mother Nancy Kissam Ely. Small World isn't it!.CLICK here for 1937 photo of Colleen "Duhurst".

In 1990 Drew co-authored a book with Todd Gold "Little Girl Lost," about her out-of-control behavior. In 1993 Drew admited having talent but did not feel she was a good actress. "I have an ability for adapting characters and turning into other people." In 1993 Drew stared in No Place To Hide with Kris Kristofferson a policeman and his friend (O.J. Simpson) saved Stinsel Hanley's (Drew) life with a sledgehammer when two assassins came to kill Stinsel. Drew was 18 years-old and yet she was playing a 14 year-old. Plot was a CIA thriller.

15 years later, we find Drew and Kris Kristofferson in the film "He's Just Not That Into You, due to be released August 1, 2008. Not to worry it is a Comedy.

Footnote: In the film No Place to Hide, former President George H.W. Bush's picture is on the wall when Kris Kristofferson is in Martin Landau's office. Bush was a former CIA director and friends with Lee Harvey Oswald's closest friend a CIA agent, George de Mohrenschildt since 1942.

Cannon Pictures Inc. released the film No Place to Hide, well they surely do not have a place to hide for they made ONLY four films, three of the four are CIA films such as Chain of Command in 1994 and The Human Shield in 1992 and No Place to Hide in 1993 shortly before O.J. Simpson allegedly killed his wife and her boyfriend Ronald Goldman. Shortly before midnight on June 12, 1994, Brown and Goldman were found savagely stabbed and slashed to death outside Brown's Bundy Drive condominium in the Brentwood area of Los Angeles, California. Point being in the film "Frogmen" O.J. is a CIA Navy Seal and was to kill his wife with a similiar knife as Goldman and Brown died. An in camera investigation needs to be made to see if any CIA ties are there.

Am looking for photograph of O.J. Simpson and George H.W. Bush, Sr. golfing can anyone help ?

Things have changed. When Drew landed a role in Home Fries, the script was poor, yet the movie was held together with Drew's lovable personality. Three years earlier she was terrific in Boys on the Side, a great movie.

Drew knows her characters ins and outs, is taking on great scripts and has the knack of winning the audience over with a variety of comical, dramatic and romantic roles. It seems that Drew is at her best in fun lighthearted films. Drew has done well by taking on unpopular roles such as P-Ivy and The Story of Amy Fisher.

Two Photographs are Postal Stamps from the Congo.

In the last five years Drew has been a big hit, breaking all barriers, with both the younger and older generations. Everyone can related to her personality, elderly men and women, young teenage girls and boys alike. Three back-to-back hits The Wedding Singer, Ever After and Never Been Kissed have shown the American public that this is a person who has much to offer.I personally enjoy these type of movies, believeable romantic comedies. Drew may have missed being born in the 1960s, yet she often portray's the ideal 60s chick. Drew seems to keep the sixties alive, check out her clothes in Wishful Thinking. Her roles often include 60s fashion that can not be beat and would make even Emilo Pucci jealous. After her last three hits Drew delivered a bombshell with Charlie's Angels as an actor and producer which was a big hit. Her production company knows who watches her movies, and thus produces films with this in mind.

Acting to Drew comes natural, for many people freeze up on the screen or just don't come across as natural. Not Drew, since she has been in front of the camera at the age of three Drew does not come across as the stuffy Hollywood type. But as a common person. People find it easy to relate, as they find themselves laughing along side her. Yet, it has not been an easy road, for Drew admitted "It's strange, very strange, how I survived with the upbringing I had, the I life I led...I have been my own person since the time I was 7..." She loves expressing herself and getting "really good feeback from" people she trusts. How many other actors or actresses whom have produced their own movies at the early of 23? Drew Barrymore has followed in the family tradition and has earned the respect of the American public. This tradition dates back two and one half centuries. When the producers of one movie wanted her to be chauffeured in a limo to the set, she said 'No, you're not going to treat me like a baby...I can get to work on time on my own."

In Drew's lastest movie Riding in Cars with Boys, Drew plays a young teenager, a young mother and an older mother. One can hardly believe that Drew could handle all of these roles. She does it extremely well just as her great-great-grandmother, Louisa Lane-Drew had done when she first arrived in the United States in 1828 by playing the parts of five characters in one play. They say "everything has been done before" how true it is!

Joel Schumacher said of Drew "She knows how she feels about everthing. She's a total professional. She comes to work ready. She knows every line of dialogue. All her emotions are very much on th surface, which is surprising. For someone with her background, you'd think she'd have buried everything. She hasn't."More Power To You, Drew Barrymore!

Stay tuned for Charlie Angels II, also Confessions of A Dangerous Mind which is due to be release in November or early next year 2003. This movie has a great cast, George Clooney, Julia Roberts, Matt Dillion, Brad Pitt and Drew Barrymore. It is a story about Chuck Barris' life as a CIA assassin. "Chuck" won't say if it is true or not. Clooney's CIA film was produced by Clooney. Former CIA Director George H.W. Bush has been friends of many CIA agents and assassins: John Hinckley, George de Mohrenschildt and Felix Rodriguez.

Clooney and Bush Sr. Christmas of 2006. In 1998 Clooney said in the film Three Kings "We are fighting for President George Bush." Years later his son Bush Jr. made it happen. Now Clooney is representing the U.S. government within the United Nations as Messenger of Peace. Could this be a pretty cushy CIA position? The CIA has been involved in the Hollywood film industry since 1950s when Cecil de Mille was their man. Clooney has even enlisted Drew's assistance in helping the poor in Africa. Drew donated a million dollars to the poor children of Africa. This was very admirable on her part, regardless. Had our Pentagon and the CIA thought like this we would be in a much better place. George W. Bush said while running against Al Gore "I would go to WAR for my Dad." Well, he did Mr. Clooney. No matter what label you put on yourself it can not change the truth! We are talking about 1,000,000 lives killed because President George W. Bush "Lied." Just because one works in a CIA film does not mean they are! Whose going to turn down a million dollar check to act in a picture? CLICK here for Clooney's new position.

Really enjoyed 50 First Dates, this movie has great photography in Hawaii. Drew must have had fun making this one. This film is suppose to have made more money than any other romantic-comedy in history. I am sure that her great grandmother Georgina Drew-Barrymore would have been proud of her, for she was also an expert romantic-comic actress. Well we all Loved Lucy in this film.

Drew also took time off to produce a film-documentary in which she travelled around the U.S. getting students out to vote. Drew's very first documentary.

JOSIE GELLER is that You! Naw, this is a greataunt Ethel Barrymore 1914. Is Drew Reincarnated? This photo was colorized by Gunilla Leavitt for this website.
