Biography - Drew Barrymore
- $12.95
Drew Blythe Barrymore was born on
February 22, 1975. Parented by the famous hollywood-royalty Barrymore
family. She first acted at the tender age of 11 months in a TV
commercial. At 7, drew was starring in box-office record-breaker E.T.
(1982). The flip side of this child stardom was revealed when she
dropped out of school at 14 and published her co-written autobiography,
Little Girl Lost (1990). Drinking at 9, dope-smoking at 10 and
coke-snorting at 12 were some of the stops on Barrymore's descent. After
a string of roles in little-seen movies, Drew played an amoral teen
seductress in Poison Ivy (1992). The role brought her minor-icon status
that was further cemented by a Guess add shot by Ellen Von Unwerth. It
was a jeans ad campaign which highlighted her white trash sex appeal.
Barrymore tends to fare best in high-spirited, low-class projects like
The Amy Fisher Story (tv movie, 1993), Guncrazy (1992), and the
short-lived twentysomething soap 2000 Malibu Road (1992), rather than in
mid-budget hollywood fodder like Bad Girls (1994), Boys on the Side
(1995), and Mad Love (1995). Less than two months after her March 1994
marriage to an LA bar owner, Drew filed for divorce; she subsequently
became involved with Hole guitarist Eric Erlandson, whose praises she
invariably sang on her many TV talk show appearances. After many nude
public appearances, including the David Letterman, and the China Club,
Drew has finally begun to settle down. She has begun to throw off her
bad girl attitude and settle for a more womanly one. Drew is now a
spokesperson, and actress for a women's condom commercial which aired on
MTV.
Drew's latest moves in showbiz, include her excellent performance in Wes
Craven's "Scream"(1996), her role in Woody Allen's
"Everyone Says I Love You"(1996), and "The Wedding
Singer"(1997). In 1996. on a film shoot, Drew met her latest love,
Luke Wilson, whom she broke up with recently(1999). Drew is now enjoying
her life. She played a Cinderella with Girl Power in the movie
"Ever After"(1998), she played a pregnant fast-food worker in
"Home Fries"(1998), and played Luke Wilson's fiance in the
movie "Best Men"(1998). Recently her first produced movie got
released in the theaters (April 9, 1999), "Never Been Kissed."
"Never Been Kissed" is her companies, Flower Films, first
released movie. Her partner in Flower Films is Nancy Jevonen. Drew's
next movie from Flower Films is Charlie's Angels.
