If you want to break into Hollywood, it probably helps to come from a legendary acting dynasty. And if you want to host SNL, it probably helps to star in "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial,” one of the biggest films of all time. And both of those facts explain how, in 1982, Drew Barrymore became the youngest-ever host of "Saturday Night Live,” a record she still holds. Drew’s grandfather, John Barrymore, was a movie star in his own time, one of the few performers to successfully transition from silent films to “talkies.” His brother, Lionel Barrymore, might have been even more well-known, and famously played the cruel Mr. Potter in "It’s a Wonderful Life.” Other members of Drew’s family to see cinematic success include her father John Drew Barrymore, half-brother John Blyth Barrymore, grandmother Dolores Costello, great-aunt Ethel Barrymore, and the man who founded the family’s line of work, her great-grandfather Maurice Barrymore, a star of the New York stage.
