Sweet Barrymore





A handful of fingers can not count the amount of wonderful movies Drew Barrymore has starred in. Today, this sweet Barry is one of Hollywood’s delightful, influential stars. As an active philanthropist, she has used her power to give back to communities’ worldwide, turning her into a modern day role model http://www.drewbarrymore.com/. However, that was not the case more than ten years ago. After starring in the four-time Oscar winning motion picture ET in 1982, http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000106/. Barrymore’s life came dumpling down. Two years after ET, 9 year old Barrymore began drinking and then shortly became abusive of drugs. Being born into a theatrical family, Barrymore lacked the lessons of family value, for she often partied at Studio 54, in New York, with her father. By the age of 17, she legally divorced her mother, and checked herself into rehab http://www.thebiographychannel.co.uk/biography_story/1:244/2/Drew_Barrymore.htm. Although the cocaine, marijuana, and alcohol addictions were kicked to the curb, Barrymore still fell under the “sex symbol” image. In 1995, Barrymore posed for Playboy.
All this has change since then.


Barrymore today graces the cover of Vogue, and has her own production company, Flower Films. In this month’s issue of Vogue, Barrymore talks about her new up and coming film and how difficult is was to become the character of Onasis debutant, Edith. The issue also mentions budding romance with Apple commercial star, Justin Long.
From helpless, alcoholic child to respected, successful actress/producer, we must do nothing, but to love Barrymore!
