Drew Barrymore
Biography
Drew
Blythe Barrymore was born on February 22, 1975. Parented by the
famous Hollywood-royalty Barrymore family. She first began acting
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
twenty-something 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 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 company, 'Flower Films', first released movie. Her partner
in 'Flower Films' is Nancy Jevonen. Drew's next movie from 'Flower
Films' was "Charlie's Angels."
