Mini biography- Drew Barrymore Drew Blythe Barrymore was 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 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). | |
