Drew Barrymore wept after she uncovered old photos of her late Hollywood star grandmother Dolores Costello.
The 47-year-old TV personality shared that she had “tears streaming down her face” after she stumbled upon the vintage snaps.
The award-winning actress explained that she unexpectedly came across the rare-gem on an Instagram page dedicated to “the magic of old Hollywood”.
Her grandmother Dolores was born in 1903 and rose to fame for her silent movies. The Hollywood actress died in 1979.
Drew shared that after coming across the post she thought it was “a sign”.
She wrote: “I don’t know why I was scrolling because I need to go to bed and get up for work. I was feeling like I was looking for something. A sign?”

The Charlie’s Angels star added: “I don’t know but I needed something!!! And I came across this!
“You brought me my grandmother!!! I have tears streaming down my face as I write this!! Thank you. I needed this tonight!!!! Ps. Isn’t she so neat?! Thank you.”
The Instagram post describes Dolores as “The Goddess of the Silent Screen”, a term that was coined by Drew’s grandfather John, who was also an actor.
The confession comes after Drew recently opened up about her struggles co-parenting with her ex-husband Will Kopelman.

Drew said how she misses her daughters Olive, nine, and Frankie, seven, when she’s away from them in an interview with Parents magazine.
She said: “You miss them when you’re apart because that wasn’t the plan.”
But looking on the positive side of things, she said: “Both parents get a day off.”
She split from Will, 43, in 2016 after nearly four years of marriage.

Speaking on CBS, Drew revealed: “I never said out loud that I don’t know how to date with kids.
“My kids’ dad is happily remarried with the most wonderful woman in the world, Allie.”
The award-winning actress then said she would “never get married again” but would consider “living with someone again”.
