Biography
American noted family, the daughter of John Barrymore and his second wife, Michael Strange. She showed the Barrymore talent in plays, but also had the Barrymore taste for liquor and the high life. (Her autobiography, "Too Much, Too Soon," released in 1957 tells of her unhappy childhood, her unsuccessful marriages, her bouts with alcoholism and her attempted suicides. The book was later turned into a movie.) (In 1955, Barrymore was voluntarily committed to a N.Y. sanitarium. Upon her release one year later, she made an off-Broadway comeback.) Apparently one of the walking wounded, she died of pills and booze on 1/25/1960 in New York, a death that was technically attributed to "natural causes."
