Biography:

From child star to successful Hollywood leading lady, with some serious wild child antics inbetween, happy-go-lucky Drew was born into the Barrymore acting dynasty. Her family tree reads like a Hollywood who’s who.

Her breakthrough role came at age 7 in her godfather Steven Spielberg’s classic E.T. and she’d won a Golden Globe nomination by age 9. Her notoriously troubled childhood meant she was hanging out at Studio 54 before she hit her teens. Smoking at age 9, drinking at 11, smoking marijuana at 12, and snorting cocaine at 13, Drew put today’s wannabe wild child starlets to utter shame.

After divorcing her parents, posing nude for Playboy, and flashing David Letterman her fun-bags live on his show, she made her big screen comeback in 1995’s Batman Forever, starring in Scream and Boys on the Side the following year.

Starting her own company in 1995, she’s produced and starred in a string of hit movies, including Never Been Kissed, Charlie’s Angels, Donnie Darko and He’s Just Not That into You. She made her directorial debut with 2009’s Whip It.

Openly bisexual, Drew falls in love easy, and was engaged at 16 to actor Leland Hayward, again the next year to actor Jamie Walters, was married for a month to a Welsh bartender, and again to Tom Green for 5 months. She dated Strokes drummer Fabrizio Moretti for 5 years, actor Justin Long on and off until 2010, and is currently dating son of Chanel CEO (hello Chanel freebies!) Will Kopelman.
