The Davenport-Barrymore dynasty spans generations of renowned entertainers, from stage to screen. Born in Philadelphia in 1882, John Barrymore was the patriarch of the illustrious family and was America's most acclaimed stage star. He was followed by his daughter Ethel, who was a famed actor, composer, artist, author, and director. His son John Drew also entered the acting world, but his greatest contribution was his daughter, the beloved Drew Barrymore, who captured the hearts of audiences at the tender age of six in the film E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982). The dynasty continues with the next generation, including Alice, Harry, Dorothy, Jill, and more, who have all achieved great success in the entertainment industry. From the big screen to the stage, the Davenport-Barrymore family stands as a testament to the power of legacy and talent.
