Drew Barrymore

[Anonymous]

She was great in "50 First Dates," "The Wedding Singer," "Never Been Kissed," and " He's Just Not That into You." She's great at romcoms. She could be dead or known for pornos. It's impressive she took the route she did to be more of the girl next door.

I think it is hilarious that people here actually think this empty-headed woman wrote her own book.

People, celebrity "books" are ghost written. It is an entire industry.

Sorry but successful TV and film producers, are never empty headed. They are very business minded and as she has proven, often very likable. You are a sour-puss, to say the least...

No, I'm a realist and I know a little about this industry.

Do you trully not believe her family connections helped her establish the teams she needed to do this?

no you have proved you know zero about it

She's one of my least favorite actors for sure.

I don’t know about not being smart. She co-founded a production company in 1995. But yes, she comes off as a ditz in interviews.

Lisping can sometimes be genetically impossible to correct.

I find her annoying at times but I do admire her in some ways. Her mother had primary custody of her and basically let her young child party like an adult. The fact that she didn’t die young is pretty amazing. She got into rehab and has had a successful career from child actress into adulthood.

I can only think of a few people who did this successfully like Ron Howard and Jason Bateman. They both were raised by better parents.

Jodie Foster too

Brooke Shields

Yeah, and they all had way better parents than Drew.

Eh, debatable that Teri was way better than Jade Barrymore.

Jade was worse than Teri because in addition to exploiting Drew, she kept her out of school, denying her an education, and took her to parties nightly and was told people it was okay to offer her 9 year old child drugs and treat her like an adult. Jade rarely visited her during the year plus she was in rehab at 13 because she was too busy partying herself. Drew also lost all her money after her emancipation from Jade at age 14 and was living in a dump and working minimum wage jobs.

Teri might have exploited her daughter in a way that was totally inappropriate, but she also didn't try to kill her and leave her for dead.

She’s bright enough to have her own production company, her own successful cosmetics line, and to have consistently worked as an actor for decades (where many child stars do not). So there’s that.

Um, we all know celebs get help writing their books. This isn't news. The point is she had a compelling story worth sharing that enough people wanted to buy to make it a best seller. But her voice very much comes through in the book. Sure she got help, but it's her story, her voice, her book.

She has a lisp and you don’t like her voice, so she must be stupid. Got it. I hope you don’t have children.

Some of you are insufferable.

Oh, please. Of course her family connections helped. She’s descended from an acting dynasty and her godfather is Stephen Spielberg! She wasn’t plucked out of obscurity and is mildly talented as an actress.

I find her annoying but I think it’s great that she’s a survivor.

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.

Ok, let's be real. She doesn't look ANYTHING like the Barrymore side. That's just absurd. She looks like her mother.

No, her mother doesn't have the same big, protruding jaw in this picture.

Plus 1.

She could have gone the way of Lindsay Lohan but look at her - a successful business-woman and loving mother who is giving her daughters a normal life. She definitely has good vibes and positive energy emanating from her. She really got her life back in track and seems to be thriving. I only have warm thoughts about her.
