Drew Barrymore's Bio
Drew Blythe Barrymore was born on February 22, 1975 in Los Angeles,
California to actor John Drew Barrymore, Jr. and actress Ildiko Jaid Barrymore.
Her great uncle and aunt were the legendary thespian siblings Lionel and Ethel
Barrymore. Her grandfather was the equally famous John Barrymore, Sr. Producer
and director Steven Spielberg is her godfather. Drew was born a few months after
her parents had seperated. Her performing career started very early when she
first did a Puppy Choice dog food commercial at 11 months and at 2 years old,
she got her first actual role in a made-for-TV movie, Suddenly Love. Her feature
film debut came at 5 years old, appearing as William Hurt's daughter in Altered
States. Drew's big break came in 1982 when she was cast as Gertie, the little
girl in Spielberg's E.T. The Extraterrestrial. The movie catapulted her to
international stardom. Unbelievably, her downhill spiral started just a couple
of years later, when she got drunk for the first time at a birthday party for
Rob Lowe. Her movie career was still on the rise, though, with roles in
Firestarter and Irreconcilable Differences. Drew started doing marijuana at 10
and cocaine followed a few years later. In 1988, she entered a drug rehab center
but only lasted 18 days. Later that year, she was readmitted for 3 months and
came out with renewed determination for a fresh start. Unfortunately, she was
unable to completely shake her addictions and regressed back to drugs. Rock
bottom came in July, 1989 when she tried to commit suicide by slashing her
wrists. Another 3 months of rehab followed and this time, Drew emerged
triumphant. Drew received full emancipation from her mother when she turned 15
and was now in complete control of her own destiny. She wrote the
autobiographical book, Little Girl Lost in 1991 and thus began a new chapter in
her life. That same year, she starred in Poison Ivy and 2000 Malibu Road, a
short-lived TV series. 1995 proved to be a ground breaking year for young
Barrymore. She appeared in a controversial pictoral in Playboy magazine as well
as 3 movies, Mad Love, Batman Forever and Boys On The Side. And who will ever
forget her birthday dance for Late Night host David Letterman, where she bared
her breasts for him? In 1996 came Scream and Woody Allen's Everyone Says I Love
You, both well accepted by fans and critics alike. 1998 saw her team up with
Adam Sandler in the hit The Wedding Singer and later that year, she starred in
the Cinderella-esque Ever After, a surprise summer blockbuster. Drew was able to
showcase her comedic talents in 1999's Never Been Kissed. The role required her
to appear for a good part of the movie as a homely-looking high school nerd,
which she did with great success. Drew's 2000 project, Charlie's Angels:The
Movie, premiered in the first week of November and became one of the big hit
movies of the year. Not only does she star in the movie (with Cameron Diaz and
Lucy Liu) but she produced it as well, through her company Flower Films. This is
actually her second stint at producing, the first one being Ever After. The
other big event for Drew in 2000 was becoming engaged to comedian Tom Green
after meeting on the set of Charlie's Angels. The couple eloped in March of 2001
and became husband and wife. 2001 showed no slowing down for Drew. Her big
production this year was Riding In Cars With Boys, a widely acclaimed role about
a single teen age mother and the son she has at 15. In March, she eloped with
and married comedian Tom Greene but only five months later, Greene filed for
divorce, ironically siting "irreconcilable differences". Upcoming this year for
Barrymore will be Confessions of a Dangerous Mind with George Clooney and Julia
Roberts, Duplex with Ben Stiller and the much anticipated Charlie's Angels 2:
Full Throttle. Barbarella, the continuation of the 1968 Jane Fonda cult classic
is scheduled for release in 2004. Part of Drew Barrymore's appeal is obvious:
young, beautiful, talented. The tease in her doesn't hurt, either. But it's more
than that. She fell into the same trap that a lot of young Hollywood celebrities
do. She made it out while others didn't. The resolve and determination Drew has
shown only endears her that much more to her fans and speaks as much about her
character as anything else. Bill Murray summed it up best at the 25th
Anniversary of Saturday Night Live when he spotted Drew in the audience and
said: "We're all glad you cleaned up."
