Actor John Drew Barrymore Dies

Drew Barrymore's actor father John Drew Barrymore has died at the age of 72. No information was released about the cause of death or where in Los Angeles he died. But in a statement issued by her publicist yesterday, Drew said, "He was a cool cat. Please smile when you think of him." John D. Barrymore was part of an acting dynasty that included his father, John Barrymore, and his father's siblings, Lionel Barrymore and Ethel Barrymore. He had a sporadic film career that began with Hollywood films in the 1950s including The Big Night and While The City Sleeps. Yet he also possessed a rebellious streak that led to numerous scrapes with the law, friends and family, including a long estrangement from Drew and her brother John. At various times he was reported to be living like a hermit or a beggar, and Drew once said in an interview that there were times when she did not know where her father was.

That's sad, and poor Drew.
