She's 5'4" and tends towards chubby. Maybe you saw her when she was slimmed down for a role or something?


You mean normal?

She has the Barrymore face:


Big jawed and moon shaped. She’s not fat.

Anyone who can go through her childhood, survive and come out as a decent human being is amazing. Bravo

Her mom never took her to school and instead took her to parties and clubs 5+ nights a week starting when she was 9 years old. She crashed, went to rehab at 13, started over, and was legally emancipated from her parents at 14. She was struggling and working in a restaurant until she got cast in Poison Ivy.

I’m the one who met her. Was saying I was surprised how much smaller she looked in person based on what I had seen of her at the time. But yes this was a long time ago like early 2000s and she could have slimmed down for a role. I would be shocked if she was 5’4 without heels on. I was towering over her

And she looks like her great grandmother too:

Actually, much more than a movie producer and actor. She's written a best selling book, also owns a huge beauty company, is launching her own TV show, and there's more I think! Definitely a mogul.

You realize it was ghost written, right?

She runs a huge company, Flower Films. Have you read her book? She is bright.


She did not write the book.

I have the exact opposite reaction to her. I feel so warmly toward her. She has good vibes and an authentic spirit.

I feel like this would make me crazy with anyone else but I find her strangely charming. DD has a lisp and I wonder if this is what she’ll sound like.


Not if you get her speech therapy as Drew surprisingly did not have. I think her lisp was played up/capitalized as cute so no one helped her improve herself. Though part of Drew's issue is facial assymetry/muscle movement when talking- her mouth pulls to the side which makes her difficulty speaking/expressing cogent thoughts it more obvious.

Some lisps cannot be corrected even with years of speech therapy.

I like her, but absolutely can't stand the Santa Clarita Diet. That was one of the worst shows I've ever watched in my life.
