Drew Barrymore in E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982)

Since melting audiences' hearts at the tender age of six in Steven Spielberg's beloved Sci-Fi blockbuster, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982), Drew Barrymore (1975) emerged as one of the most endearing and talented American actresses of her generation. She is also a producer and director and is known for her work in romantic comedies.

Drew Barrymore was born in 1975 in Culver City, California to actors John Drew Barrymore and Jaid Barrymore. Barrymore comes from a long line of famous actors. Drew is the granddaughter of film stars John Barrymore and Dolores Costello and great-granddaughter of silent film actor Maurice Costello. She is also a great-niece of Ethel Barrymore and Lionel Barrymore. Her career began when she was 11 months old, in a dog food commercial. She appeared in several television movies before making her film debut in Altered States (Ken Russell, 1980). At the age of seven, Barrymore broke through to the general public with her role as Gertie in the Science-Fiction classic E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (Steven Spielberg, 1982). Later that year Barrymore, at age seven, became the youngest-ever host of the television show Saturday Night Live. Next, she appeared in the Stephen King adaptations Firestarter (Mark L. Lester, 1984) and Cat's Eye (Lewis Teague, 1985). Drew had a turbulent adolescence. Barrymore started smoking at the age of nine, drinking alcohol at 11 and using marijuana when she was 12. At 13, she snorted cocaine for the first time. At 15, she wrote an autobiographical book about the period, titled 'Little Girl Lost' (1990). At 15 years old, Drew Barrymore legally emancipated herself from her parents. She had first learned such a thing was possible at age 9 when she starred in the film Irreconcilable Differences (Charles Shyer, 1984) in which her character "divorces" her negligent parents, played by Ryan O'Neal and Shelley Long. Barrymore never finished high school. A determined Barrymore threw herself into her career during the 1990s. First, she did a succession of 'bad girl' parts in cultish B-pictures like Poison Ivy (Katt Shea, 1992), Guncrazy (Tamra Davis, 1992) and, fittingly, Bad Girls (Jonathan Kaplan, 1994), a Western in which she co-starred with Madeleine Stowe, Mary Stuart Masterson and Andie MacDowell. Then she played well-received turns in notable projects such as Boys on the Side (Herbert Ross, 1995) with Whoopi Goldberg, Woody Allen's Everyone Says I Love You (1996), and the game-changing Horror hit Scream (Wesley Craven, 1996). An eclectic mix of high-profile and low-key film projects followed including the romantic comedies The Wedding Singer (Frank Coraci, 1998) with Adam Sandler, Cinderella-like story Ever After (Andy Tennant, 1998) with Anjelica Huston and Never Been Kissed (Raja Gosnell, 1999).

Drew Barrymore became an action hero in Charlie's Angels (2000) with Cameron Diaz and Lucy Liu. Barrymore bought the screen rights to the TV series Charlie's Angels (1976) prior to this film being filmed - a decision that earned her an estimated $40 million for the first film, and a possible $80 million for the sequel. She followed it with roles in such smaller films as Donnie Darko (Richard Kelly, 2001), Riding in Cars with Boys (Penny Marshall, 2001) and the comic thriller Confessions of a Dangerous Mind (George Clooney, 2002). These performances proved to skeptics that Barrymore was not just a formidable leading lady, but a gifted and versatile performer. Headline parts in 50 First Dates (Peter Segal, 2004) with Adam Sandler, Fever Pitch (Bobby Farrelly, Peter Farrelly, 2005), and Music and Lyrics (Marc Lawrence, 2007) opposite HughGrant, came next, as did the critically lauded television film Grey Gardens (Michael Sucsy, 2009) with Jessica Lange, for which she earned Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild prizes for her astonishing embodiment of Edith Bouvier Beale. Barrymore - whose production company, Flower Films, has spawned a string of lucrative features since its birth in the mid-nineties - added yet another string to her bow when she spearheaded the coming-of-age tale Whip It (Drew Barrymore, 2009) starring Elliot Page (as Ellen Page). It was her long-awaited directorial debut about a rebellious teenager who joins a women's roller derby team in Austin. Roger Ebert described the picture as having "guts, charm, and a black-and-blue sweetness". Barrymore had a recurring guest spot as the voice of Jillian on Family Guy (2005-2013). In the cinema she appeared in such films as Going the Distance (Nanette Burstein, 2010), Big Miracle (Ken Kwapis, 2012), Blended (Frank Coraci, 2014) with Adam Sandler, and Miss You Already (Catherine Hardwicke, 2015) with Toni Colette. She played the principal role of Sheila Hammond, a realtor who becomes a zombie, in the Netflix series Santa Clarita Diet (2017). She also served as executive producer on the series during its acclaimed three-season run. More recently, she acted in The Stand In (Jamie Babbit, 2020) and was compère of The Drew Barrymore Show (2020), a daytime talk show distributed by CBS. She married and divorced three times. Her husbands were barkeeper Jeremy Thomas (1994-1995), actor-producer Tom Green (2001-2002) and art consultant Will Kopelman (2012-2016) with whom she has two children, Olive Kopelman and Frankie Kopelman.

Since melting audiences' hearts at the tender age of six in Steven Spielberg's beloved Sci-Fi blockbuster, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982), Drew Barrymore (1975) emerged as one of the most endearing and talented American actresses of her generation. She is also a producer and director and is known for her work in romantic comedies.

Drew Barrymore was born in 1975 in Culver City, California to actors John Drew Barrymore and Jaid Barrymore. Barrymore comes from a long line of famous actors. Drew is the granddaughter of film stars John Barrymore and Dolores Costello and great-granddaughter of silent film actor Maurice Costello. She is also a great-niece of Ethel Barrymore and Lionel Barrymore. Her career began when she was 11 months old, in a dog food commercial. She appeared in several television movies before making her film debut in Altered States (Ken Russell, 1980). At the age of seven, Barrymore broke through to the general public with her role as Gertie in the Science-Fiction classic E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (Steven Spielberg, 1982). Later that year Barrymore, at age seven, became the youngest-ever host of the television show Saturday Night Live. Next, she appeared in the Stephen King adaptations Firestarter (Mark L. Lester, 1984) and Cat's Eye (Lewis Teague, 1985). Drew had a turbulent adolescence. Barrymore started smoking at the age of nine, drinking alcohol at 11 and using marijuana when she was 12. At 13, she snorted cocaine for the first time. At 15, she wrote an autobiographical book about the period, titled 'Little Girl Lost' (1990). At 15 years old, Drew Barrymore legally emancipated herself from her parents. She had first learned such a thing was possible at age 9 when she starred in the film Irreconcilable Differences (Charles Shyer, 1984) in which her character "divorces" her negligent parents, played by Ryan O'Neal and Shelley Long. Barrymore never finished high school. A determined Barrymore threw herself into her career during the 1990s. First, she did a succession of 'bad girl' parts in cultish B-pictures like Poison Ivy (Katt Shea, 1992), Guncrazy (Tamra Davis, 1992) and, fittingly, Bad Girls (Jonathan Kaplan, 1994), a Western in which she co-starred with Madeleine Stowe, Mary Stuart Masterson and Andie MacDowell. Then she played well-received turns in notable projects such as Boys on the Side (Herbert Ross, 1995) with Whoopi Goldberg, Woody Allen's Everyone Says I Love You (1996), and the game-changing Horror hit Scream (Wesley Craven, 1996). An eclectic mix of high-profile and low-key film projects followed including the romantic comedies The Wedding Singer (Frank Coraci, 1998) with Adam Sandler, Cinderella-like story Ever After (Andy Tennant, 1998) with Anjelica Huston and Never Been Kissed (Raja Gosnell, 1999).

Drew Barrymore became an action hero in Charlie's Angels (2000) with Cameron Diaz and Lucy Liu. Barrymore bought the screen rights to the TV series Charlie's Angels (1976) prior to this film being filmed - a decision that earned her an estimated $40 million for the first film, and a possible $80 million for the sequel. She followed it with roles in such smaller films as Donnie Darko (Richard Kelly, 2001), Riding in Cars with Boys (Penny Marshall, 2001) and the comic thriller Confessions of a Dangerous Mind (George Clooney, 2002). These performances proved to skeptics that Barrymore was not just a formidable leading lady, but a gifted and versatile performer. Headline parts in 50 First Dates (Peter Segal, 2004) with Adam Sandler, Fever Pitch (Bobby Farrelly, Peter Farrelly, 2005), and Music and Lyrics (Marc Lawrence, 2007) opposite HughGrant, came next, as did the critically lauded television film Grey Gardens (Michael Sucsy, 2009) with Jessica Lange, for which she earned Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild prizes for her astonishing embodiment of Edith Bouvier Beale. Barrymore - whose production company, Flower Films, has spawned a string of lucrative features since its birth in the mid-nineties - added yet another string to her bow when she spearheaded the coming-of-age tale Whip It (Drew Barrymore, 2009) starring Elliot Page (as Ellen Page). It was her long-awaited directorial debut about a rebellious teenager who joins a women's roller derby team in Austin. Roger Ebert described the picture as having "guts, charm, and a black-and-blue sweetness". Barrymore had a recurring guest spot as the voice of Jillian on Family Guy (2005-2013). In the cinema she appeared in such films as Going the Distance (Nanette Burstein, 2010), Big Miracle (Ken Kwapis, 2012), Blended (Frank Coraci, 2014) with Adam Sandler, and Miss You Already (Catherine Hardwicke, 2015) with Toni Colette. She played the principal role of Sheila Hammond, a realtor who becomes a zombie, in the Netflix series Santa Clarita Diet (2017). She also served as executive producer on the series during its acclaimed three-season run. More recently, she acted in The Stand In (Jamie Babbit, 2020) and was compère of The Drew Barrymore Show (2020), a daytime talk show distributed by CBS. She married and divorced three times. Her husbands were barkeeper Jeremy Thomas (1994-1995), actor-producer Tom Green (2001-2002) and art consultant Will Kopelman (2012-2016) with whom she has two children, Olive Kopelman and Frankie Kopelman.

Real Drew

Taken in 2004.

Drew Barrymore racing across the outfield in Fenway Park as a scene for the 2005 movie "Fever Pitch" was filmed. (Her co-star was Jimmy Fallon.) She's being chased by stuntmen cops and security, whose timing was great, always colliding with each other just as they were about to grab her. A message on the Jumbotron invited everyone at Fenway for the real ballgame (34,758) to stay after the final out to watch some scenes being filmed. When the game ended (Orioles 9, Red Sox 6), the real ballplayers went into their respective dugouts and fake ballplayers took their place on the field. We were in the bleachers so Barrymore's run began right in front of us.
