Barrymore's godmothers are actress Sophia Loren<ref>Template:Cite newsTemplate:Cbignore</ref> and Lee Strasberg's widow, Anna Strasberg; Barrymore described her relationship with the latter as one that "would become so important to me as a kid because she was so kind and nurturing."<ref>Template:Harvnb</ref> Her godfather is filmmaker Steven Spielberg.<ref name="ActorsStudio" /><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
Barrymore's first name, Drew, was the maiden name of her paternal great-grandmother Georgie Drew, and her middle name, Blythe, was derived from the birth surname (Blyth) of her great-grandfather who later took the stage name of Maurice Barrymore.<ref name="ActorsStudio"/> In her 1991 autobiography Little Girl Lost, Barrymore recounted early memories of her abusive father, who left the family when she was six months old.

ChildhoodEdit
Barrymore grew up on Poinsettia Place in West Hollywood, until she moved to Sherman Oaks at the age of seven. In her 2015 memoir Wildflower, she says she spoke "like a valley girl" because she grew up in Sherman Oaks. She moved back to West Hollywood on becoming emancipated at age 14.<ref>Template:Harvnb</ref> She attended elementary school at Fountain Day School in West Hollywood and Country School.<ref>Template:Harvnb</ref> In the wake of her sudden stardom, Barrymore endured a notoriously troubled childhood. She was a regular at Studio 54 as a young girl, and her nightlife and constant partying became a popular subject with the media. She was placed in rehab at 13,<ref name="Hello-Profile"/><ref name="ActorsStudio"/> and spent eighteen months in an institution for the mentally ill.<ref name=GuardianBoohoo>Template:Cite news</ref> A suicide attempt at 14 put her back in rehab, followed by a three-month stay with singer David Crosby and his wife. The stay was precipitated, Crosby said, because she "needed to be around some people that were committed to sobriety." Barrymore described this period of her life for Little Girl Lost. After a successful juvenile court petition for emancipation, she moved into her own apartment at the age of 15.<ref name=":0"/><ref name="People-Bio"/>
