Which one in this acting family is your personal favorite?
I picked Lionel, of course! ;D

Tough to pick between Lionel and John but I decided on the latter. Great as Oscar Jaffe in "Twentieth Century" and in "Romeo And Juliet" and "Grand Hotel" ... An actors actor ...
Have a soft spot for Drew too admittedly ... Yum Yum ...

Lionel for me, too. He had a long career and was memorable in so many roles. John was a great actor, but self-destructive. It is painful for me to watch him knowing that he ruined his looks and his health with alcohol. Ethel was a wonderful actress, but she preferred the stage. Since she didn't make as many films as her brothers, and since she was middle-aged or elderly in most of the films she did make, we didn't get to see her at her peak.

I've actually grown rather fond of Drew. Hate her movies though.

I went for Lionel as well. His roles are the most memorable for me.

Overall, I guess Drew is not that bad. In fact, she was very adorable when she was a child actress. But I sort of feel that she just rides in on her grandfather's (and great-uncle's) names, because I don't think she's a super actress. I don't DISLIKE her, but I don't totally LIKE her either.   Know what I mean? I hope so, because I don't! HAHAHEHE!!!! ;D Larry |

I had to vote for drew because of the movies E.T. and The Wedding Singer. E.T. was a great move. Well at least in my opinion. You all can agree later heheheheh

I really like Drew Barrymore. She's adorable, and not as bad an actress as people make out. She just makes some really bad movie choices, especially recently. And I'm a huge E.T. fan too, so I'm biased. ;D

I had to vote "Other" because John, Lionel, and Ethel are all unbeatable. Drew I enjoyed in "ET". But the other three: I can't pick just one as a favorite. They're all great - simply great. A dynasty in and of themselves...

Just saw Drew in one called "Ever After - A Cinderella Story" and thought it was pretty good ... I liked it ... A little hokey at the end but still enjoyable ... She's not a brilliant talent but still competent ...
John was a great as Svengali too ...
Benji ...

Although people think of me as an ugly toad I want to have my dream prince and ball.. Hubby thinks it is a sappy girlie movie. |

I like Drew. Not because of ET though. I like her for the work she has done in the last 10 years. She is a talented actress and can do great in period pieces as well as action films. One of my all time favorite movies is EVER AFTER with Drew and Dougray Scott.

Yes Gina I agree 100% This is one of Drew's best movies. I could watch this over and over and over. I have this movie so I do watch it often......

I voted for John. IMO, the most talented of the Barrymore clan. Although also the most reckless in his personal life, unfortunately.  |

I like John. He can break your heart in some of his roles. I suppose knowing what
became of him. Films like "Grand Hotel", "Dinner at Eight", "Bill of Divorcement"
are all fine roles - having Katharine Hepburn in the last mentioned didn't hurt
either.
My daughter would pick Drew. She was such a heroine to my daughter in her
teenage years. She (Drew) over came so many problems - drugs, alcohol -
without the help of her parents. She became a strong, independent woman
whose film roles got stronger and stronger.

I suppose that Drew had her points to be admired. But when you trace her family legacy, I would say she definitely followed the footsteps of her ancestors!  I will admit, though, that she is a survivor and she came out on top of everything as strong as ever. That is worth recognition! :thumbsup: |

Loving someone so much that you (want to) try anything to make them fall in love with you and you have do it everyday because everyday they wake up not remembering who you are. And not only that but in their mind they are reliving the same day, again and again. sigh
