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 Barrymore
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.
Drew 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
Barrymore 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 Barrymore has finally begun to settle down.
She has begun to throw off her bad girl attitude and settle for
a more womanly one. Drew Barrymore 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
Barrymore met her latest love, Luke Wilson, whom she broke
up with recently(1999). Drew Barrymore 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."
