From Child Star to Hollywood Royalty
Born on February 22, 1975, in Culver City, California, Drew Blythe Barrymore was destined for stardom. She began her acting career at just 11 months old when she appeared in a dog food commercial. However, it was her breakthrough role as Gertie in "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial" (1982) that catapulted her into the limelight and captured the hearts of millions worldwide.
Drew's childhood was far from ordinary, with her parents being prominent actors John Drew Barrymore and Jaid Barrymore. She grew up surrounded by Hollywood glamour and made her film debut alongside her father in "Altered States" (1980). But it was Steven Spielberg's faith in her talent that truly launched her career, and we're forever grateful for that.

Drew's teenage years were tumultuous, to say the least. She struggled with addiction and personal issues, which led to a brief hiatus from acting. However, she bounced back stronger than ever, checking herself into rehab at just 14 years old. This display of maturity and determination set the stage for the resilient and inspiring woman she is today.
Her return to acting was marked by memorable performances in films like "The Flintstones" (1994), "Mad Love" (1995), and "Scream" (1996). Drew's ability to balance comedy and drama, along with her unique charm, has made her a fan favorite for decades.

Drew's directorial debut came in 1999 with the poignant drama "Whenever You're Ready...". Since then, she's directed several episodes of popular TV shows like "Grey's Anatomy" and "Santa Clarita Diet". Her versatility as an artist is truly inspiring.

She's interviewed everyone from A-list celebrities to everyday heroes, always managing to connect with her guests and audience on a personal level.
