Drew Barrymore — John Barrymore’s Granddaughter
As a member of the famous Barrymore family, Drew was in the spotlight from a very young age. Her grandfather, John Barrymore was the biggest movie star during the ‘20s and ‘30s. Drew inherited not only his good looks and charm but also a talent for acting. She made her film debut when she was only five years old and has been in over 70 films since then.
Unfortunately, substance abuse also runs in the family — both her grandfather and father died from alcohol-related problems. Although Drew herself had problems with addiction in her early teens, she was able to overcome them and has been thriving ever since!
Anjelica Huston — Walter Huston’s Granddaughter

Anjelica does resemble her grandfather, especially around the mouth and the nose, but what she also got from her grandpa is an immense talent for acting. Sadly, the two of them never got to meet, as Walter died one year before Anjelica was born.
