Drew Barrymore

It can be said that Drew Barrymore was “doomed” to be an actress. She is a great-granddaughter, granddaughter, niece, and daughter of actors. So when she was born on February 22, 1975 in Culver City (California), she had more ballots than any other baby of her young age to dedicate herself to the cinema. In such a family, no one would be surprised when Drew’s mother, Jaid Barrymore, took her eleven-month-old daughter and began auditioning for her. Shortly after she was already participating in television commercials. It can be said that she learned to act and walk almost simultaneously, so her film debut came when she was only 5 years old. She was her in An Amazing Journey to the Back of the Mind , a science fiction film where she played the daughter of William Hunt. Little Ella continued her television career until she knocked on her door.Steven Spielberg , his professional godfather. The powerful filmmaker offered her the role of Gertie, the little sister of Elliot, the boy protagonist of ET, the extra-terrestrial (1982). The little girl captivated the little Martian from another planet and the whole world, who dreamed that she was her daughter. She was 7 years old and internationally famous, despite which, her following projects were not relevant. In 1985 she starred in a movie for the first time. It was the horror film The Eyes of the Cat. Then, his career took a 4-year hiatus. Drew continued to work on TV, although what kept her busy the longest was her penchant for going out, drinking and doing drugs. She was a kid, but she had hit rock bottom. In 1988 she was admitted to a center to get rid of her addictions and overcome the depressive process into which she had fallen. Her recovery did not look good, since the young woman had accumulated a suicide attempt, but she succeeded. At the age of 14, she published her autobiography ‘Little Girl Lost’ (Little Girl Lost), where she openly recounted what she had experienced. The Drew girl was getting ahead, although there was still something important to recover: the Drew actress. At that time, the teenager was not interested in high school – which she never finished – so she dedicated all her efforts to recovering her acting career. She started from the beginning

In 1989 Alan J. Pakula called her for the drama Amores compartidos . She from there she continued her work in cinema, although in roles without relevance in minor films. In 1994 she was cast to share the bill with Madeleine Stowe , Mary Stuart Masterson , and Andie MacDowell in the women’s western Four Women and One Fate . From then on, she began working in films with the greatest impact and with better-known actors. In 1995, she participated in Just Them… Boys Aside, along with Whoopi Goldberg , in Crazy Love , with Chris O’Donnell , and in Batman Forever, where she was one of the girlfriends of Tommy Lee Jones “Dos Caras”. Things were going and, a year later, Woody Allen called her to star in one of the stories in his musical Everybody Says I Love You . That same year she returned to horror and played a cameo in the start of Scream . The success of the film and the strength of the scene made Drew go down in the collective memory of moments of terror.

He was 23 years old and had a career on track when he starred in the romantic comedy The Ideal Guy . Since then, the actress has lavished a lot on the genre, which has brought her fame back thanks to titles like Forever and Ever (1998), They have never kissed me (1999), 50 first dates (2004) or Love at stake (2005 ). ). Even so, her definitive accolade was given by action at the highest level, with the first and second installments of Charlie’s Angels . The actress, also a producer, was Dylan Sanders, one of the “angels” of the popular series from the late 70s. As her companions in her fight against evil, Barrymore had Lucy Liu and Cameron Díaz. The girl from ET had managed to stop being one. Her ability to rebuild her life has made her a commonplace when talking about a young man going wild in Hollywood. It comes across as the typical life lived very fast. Her image is not helped by the fact that at the age of 32 she accumulates two marriages, the sum of which is just over two years long. The first was in 1994 with Jeremy Thomas , a bar owner, and the second in 2001, with actor Tom Green . Even so, the actress can also be an example of perseverance and hard work. Her constancy is revealed in her films, which do not stop reaching the screens. A few months ago she returned to theaters with the romantic comedy You the lyrics, I the music, where he shared the bill with another classic of the genre such as Hugh Grant . While she has also appeared in Lucky You , comedy with love overtones that takes place around the world of poker. He is currently voicing the chihuahua protagonist of South of the Border , the next Disney project. And it is that if something is not missing from Drew’s agenda it is work, thus demonstrating that success can be survived without dying in the attempt.
