Inspirational Quotes by Drew Barrymore (American Film Actress)

Drew Barrymore (b.1975) is an American actress, producer, and director, primarily known for her work in romantic comedies. She evolved from a child star to a troubled teen to blonde bombshell to leading lady and has spent most of her life in the glare of publicity.

Born in Culver City, California, Barrymore is the granddaughter of the renowned American stage, screen, and radio actor John Barrymore. Drew Barrymore made her acting début at age 3 in the TV movie Suddenly Love (1987.) Three years later, Barrymore appeared on the big screen in the science fiction drama, Altered States (1980.) Before long, she burst into the American consciousness in one of the most popular movies of all time, Steven Spielberg’s E.T., the Extra-Terrestrial (1982.)

Barrymore continued to appear in a variety of big and small screen films but started to have a troubled personal life, with drug and alcohol abuse. At age 14, she tried suicide and began a string of stints in rehab. In spite of finding steady work in little-seen films such as Babes in Toyland (1986,) See You in the Morning (1989,) and Far From Home (1989,) Barrymore’s acting crumbled along with her personal life. At age 15, she became the youngest person ever to publish a memoir, Little Girl Lost (1989,) which recounted her battles with addiction.

Thanks to sheer determination to succeed in the family business, Barrymore’s movie career flourished with such moves a Poison Ivy (1992) and Boys on the Side (1995.) She won critical praise for her diverse performances in Wes Craven’s Scream (1996) and Woody Allen’s Mad About You (1996.)

Barrymore’s growing reputation as a competent and compelling actress led to a string of immensely popular romantic movies such as The Wedding Singer (1998,) Ever After (1998,) and Never Been Kissed (1999.)
