Sidney Drew’s zodiac sign is Virgo. According to astrologers, Virgos are always paying attention to the smallest details and their deep sense of humanity makes them one of the most careful signs of the zodiac. Their methodical approach to life ensures that nothing is left to chance, and although they are often tender, their heart might be closed for the outer world. This is a sign often misunderstood, not because they lack the ability to express, but because they won’t accept their feelings as valid, true, or even relevant when opposed to reason. The symbolism behind the name speaks well of their nature, born with a feeling they are experiencing everything for the first time.
Sidney Drew was born in the Year of the Pig. Those born under the Chinese Zodiac sign of the Pig are extremely nice, good-mannered and tasteful. They’re perfectionists who enjoy finer things but are not perceived as snobs. They enjoy helping others and are good companions until someone close crosses them, then look out! They’re intelligent, always seeking more knowledge, and exclusive. Compatible with Rabbit or Goat.
His mother claimed he was adopted, perhaps because her husband had been away touring for several years before Sidney's birth and was dead before the great event took place. Ethel Barrymore, Lionel Barrymore and John Barrymore, his niece and nephews, insisted he looked too much like "Mummum" to have been anybody else's child.
But the mystery continues--there's a rumor he was born at sea (!) and even his date of birth is in doubt. The young Barrymores were largely raised by Sidney's mother (their maternal grandmother), and Uncle Googan, as they called Sidney, was often about the place during their childhood.
The date of his first marriage is also unknown, but sometime before 1892 he wed Gladys Rankin, also from a famous acting clan. They were billed as Mr. and Mrs. Sidney Drew, played vaudeville and toured in marital comedies.
If the material turned out to be bad, Mrs. Drew would rewrite it or come up with a better script. Later they joined Vitagraph where he worked as an actor and director. After his wife's death in 1914, he married Lucille McVey, the second Mrs.
Sidney Drew, a vivacious 24-year-old writer he had met on the Vitagraph lot where they both worked. His son, S. Rankin Drew, also acted in films and was thought a promising director, but he enlisted in the army in World War I and was killed when his plane was shot down over France.
Sidney never got over his only child's death, and died a year later.
