Biography

John Drew Barrymore was born in Los Angeles, California. His mother was Dolores Costello. His parents divorced when John was around 6 years old in 1935, but he claimed (probably fallaciously) to have met his father only once. John and his cousin, Dirk Drew Davenport, enlisted in the United States Navy during World War II. Owing to their physical appearance, the military did not discover until several weeks later that the boys were under age. John ran away at age 17 and signed a film contract, but he repeatedly abandoned leading roles and had no major film career.

In 1958, he changed his name to John Drew Barrymore and had a brief resurgence in film, appearing in several leading roles. However, his social behavior obstructed any professional progress. In the 1960s, he was occasionally incarcerated for drug activity, public drunkenness, and spousal abuse.


In the late 1960s, John Drew accepted a major guest role as Lazarus in the Star Trek episode "The Alternative Factor". He failed to show up (and was ultimately replaced at the last minute by actor Robert Brown), resulting in SAG suspending Barrymore for six months.
