On this Day ..................... Happy Birthday to one of my favourite actresses, the very talented, Drew Blyth Barrymore.  Born in Culver City, California in 1975 into a family already famous on stage and cinema screen, she is the granddaughter of film legend John Barrymore. Following a turbulent childhood battling drug and alcohol abuse, Drew is now a highly successful actress, screenwriter, film director\producer, model and author.   Andy Warhol died this day in New York aged 58 in 1987 following surgery on his gallbladder.   World famous for his pop art, his works explored the relationship between artistic expression, celebrity culture and advertisement of the 1960s. His works are highly collectable now.  The highest price paid for one of his paintings is $105 million for a 1963 canvas entitled "Silver Car Crash (Double Disaster)". He was also involved in the music industry and adopted the banks The Velvet Underground in the mid-1960...
