John Drew Barrymore(1932-2004)

When they were both 13 years old, he and his cousin, Dirk Drew Davenport, successfully enlisted in the US Navy (it was during WW2), presenting themselves as 17-year-olds. Being tall and well-built (especially for 13), it was several weeks before the Navy (and their family) uncovered their patriotic charade.
