yes, because it contains two independent thoughts.

Yes because there are 2 independent clauses. "Drew Barrymore always wanted a caring father" and "She didn't have one." They are conjoined by "but"

Yes it is.

A compound sentence is composed of at least two independent clauses, but no dependent clauses.
