Childhood and youth
The future star was born on February 22, 1975 in America, under the zodiac sign of Pisces. Drew belongs to an old acting dynasty that dates back to his great-grandfather Maurice Barrymore. Father, mother and grandfather were also actors. True, Drew’s father, an Irishman, loved to drink, so his mother left her husband before her daughter was born. The woman filed for divorce later. The future actress was baptized by Steven Spielberg and Sophia Loren. With such parents and godparents, Drew could hardly choose another profession. The girl’s creative biography turned out to be predetermined.
Drew Barrymore spent her childhood in a bohemian atmosphere; the girl often attended social parties held in Los Angeles with her mother. Drew later recalled that instead of dolls, she had empty bottles of alcohol, and communication with children was replaced by friends Jad - that’s what her friends called her mother (Ildiko’s real name is Hungarian).

Drew Barrymore as a child
Growing up, Drew Barrymore tried to compensate for playing with toys she did not receive in childhood. The girl loved everything related to zebras: striped clothes, funny animal toys, trips to the zoo. But this was after the age of 15, and before that age Drew was a “lost girl.”
At the age of 9, Drew already knew the taste of alcohol, at the age of 10 she tried marijuana, and at the age of 12 she became addicted to cocaine. At the age of 14, Barrymore was twice admitted to a clinic where she was treated for drug addiction. The teenage girl had several suicide attempts.
In 1990, after leaving the clinic where the girl was being treated for drug addiction, Drew filed a lawsuit to deprive her mother of parental rights and won the case. The long 8 months in prison, which her loved one doomed her to, allowed Barrymore to reevaluate everything that happened in her life before treatment. Left without material injections, the star's mother speculated on everything that was left to her from her daughter, even going so far as to organize a sale of things that Drew wore as a child. Having learned about this, Barrymore got a tattoo on her right buttock with an angel carrying a cross with the name Jud, and since then she has maintained a relationship with her mother, but extremely rarely. According to the actress, she had nothing left from her childhood.
Interesting biography facts of Drew Barrymore
Drew is the great-granddaughter of Maurice Barrymore, a British actor born in 1849 in British India. He moved to America and shone in productions on Broadway. The actors were his children and grandchildren. Drew Barrymore was lucky with her godparents: Sophia Loren and Steven Spielberg are not the last people in the cinematic world.
This is what Drew Barrymore was like as a child
The actress led a bohemian lifestyle since childhood. The mother had no one to leave her with, because the father left the family before the birth of her daughter. In her memoirs (remember, she wrote them at the age of 15, summing up the “rubbish” stage of her life), Drew recalled that bottles replaced her dolls, and her mother’s friends replaced her friends. Our heroine first tried alcohol at the age of 9, marijuana at 10, and cocaine at 12. At the age of 14, she tried to commit suicide and was twice treated for drug addiction.

“God Loves a Trinity” is clearly not about Drew Barrymore’s third marriage . True, this union lasted longer than the previous two: the actress married the first time at the age of 19 to the 31-year-old restaurateur Jeremy Thomas, and the second time at the age of 26 to the comedian Tom Green. Our heroine’s third husband was artistic consultant Will Kopelman, who is also the father of her two daughters.
Movies
Drew Barrymore first appeared in front of cameras at 11 months old - it was an advertisement for dog food. One of the dogs bit the girl, but instead of showing tears, the girl laughed, surprising the producers. At the age of 2, Drew appeared in the film “Unexpected Love”, and at the age of 5 she starred in the film “Gods”. At the age of 7, Barrymore auditioned for a role in “E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial” and charmed Spielberg with her serious reasoning. The film turned out to be a box office success, and Drew Barrymore became the pride of Americans. The directors inundated the young lady with offers.
True, the success of “The Extraterrestrial” could not be repeated by subsequent films. But among the passing roles of that period there were also successful works. For filming Irreconcilable Differences, Barrymore was nominated for a Golden Globe, although the actress was not yet 18 years old.
In 1986, the film “Adventures” was released, where a short actress with a charming smile (Barrymore’s height was 163 cm, weight - 53 kg) played the eccentric Lisa. After the premiere I woke up as a superstar. Then there was a series of teenage roles, which did not suit the actress. Drew couldn't control herself on set and got into trouble with the actors and crew. As a result, she began to be invited to films less often. Drew came to her senses in time and pulled herself together, but after several years of absence, the public forgot the actress. In the 90s, she had to start all over again - starring in small roles. In 1992, the artist played a schoolgirl in the film “Gun Crazy” and received a Golden Globe for this work.

Gradually, Drew Barrymore moved from teenage to adult roles. In the films “Doppelganger” and “The Amy Fisher Story,” critics noted Barrymore’s impeccable performance. The girl played calculating killers and victims, women in love and modern Cinderellas.
In 1995, Barrymore became a guest of the famous TV presenter. Drew appeared on David Letterman's show on his birthday. At first, the star smiled sweetly and had a wide-ranging conversation, and then suddenly jumped up on the table, imitated dance moves and bared her breasts. True, the 20-year-old hooligan stood facing the presenter, so the audience could only enjoy the sight of Guess jeans. There is an opinion that this attack was a hidden advertisement for the company’s products - at that time the actress had a contract with them.
In 1998, the film “The Wedding Singer” was released with Drew’s participation and immediately became a hit. The actress's fees rose to unprecedented heights - she earned $7 million for each film.
