Drew Barrymore, born on February 22, 1975, in Culver City, California, is an American actress, producer, director, and talk show host whose life in the public eye has spanned more than four decades. Part of the legendary Barrymore acting family, she comes from a long lineage of actors, including her grandfather, John Barrymore, known as one of the greatest actors of his time. Drew’s early years in Hollywood were marked by a mix of early success, personal struggles, and a later journey of reinvention that ultimately led her to become a beloved figure in entertainment.
Barrymore’s acting career began when she was only a child. She appeared in a dog food commercial at just 11 months old, but it was her role in Steven Spielberg’s E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982) at the age of seven that made her a household name. In the film, she played Gertie, the adorable and curious younger sister who forms a close bond with the alien. Barrymore’s natural talent and charming performance captivated audiences worldwide, and she quickly became one of the most famous child stars of the 1980s. Despite the success, Barrymore’s early fame came at a price, as the pressures of Hollywood and her tumultuous family environment contributed to her struggles.
By the age of 10, Barrymore had begun experimenting with drugs and alcohol. At 13, she entered rehab for substance abuse, and her teenage years were marked by periods of recovery and relapse, with a brief emancipation from her parents at the age of 14. Despite the obstacles, Barrymore remained resilient, determined to overcome her challenges and carve out a life for herself beyond her troubled past. Her memoir, Little Girl Lost, published in 1990, detailed her struggles and gave insight into the challenges of growing up in the spotlight, allowing her to share her side of the story and begin to rebuild her life.
