Jaid Barrymore
Following the footsteps of the renowned Barrymore acting dynasty, Drew Barrymore skyrocketed to fame at seven with her role in “ET The Extra-Terrestrial.” However, her life quickly turned into a whirlwind due to the influence of her mother, Jaid. By the time Drew was eight years old, she was already referring to herself as a “party girl” and regularly went clubbing with her mother at the iconic Studio 54 nightclub in New York, attending five times a week.
The situation was distressing when Jaid Barrymore institutionalized Drew at Van Nuys Psychiatric Hospital for 18 months when she was just 13 years old. In response to this traumatic experience, Drew officially divorced her mother when she was 14. Her early fame and turbulent upbringing put her through unique challenges as she navigated her way through life in the public eye.
