Jaid Barrymore: The Untold Story Of Drew's Mother & Hollywood
Can a mother-daughter relationship truly survive the pressures of Hollywood, addiction, and decades of estrangement? The intricate and often turbulent bond between Drew Barrymore and her mother, Jaid Barrymore, is a testament to the complexities of family, resilience, and the possibility of reconciliation, even against seemingly insurmountable odds.
Ildikó Jaid Makó, now known to the world as Jaid Barrymore, was born on May 8, 1946, in the aftermath of World War II in Brannenburg, Germany (though some accounts place her birth in Berlin). Her early life was shaped by the displacement and upheaval of war, as she was born in a displaced persons camp to Hungarian refugees. This challenging start would foreshadow a life marked by both struggle and remarkable achievements. Jaid eventually immigrated to the United States, where she would become intertwined with one of Hollywood's most iconic acting dynasties. She married John Drew Barrymore, himself a member of the famed Barrymore family, and on February 22, 1975, in Culver City, California, they welcomed their daughter, Drew Blythe Barrymore, into the world. While Jaid pursued her own acting aspirations, she is perhaps best known for her role as Drew's mother and early career manager, a position that would come with its own set of challenges and complexities.
