Born Drew Blyth Barrymore in 22nd February 1975 into Hollywood's most famous family with 200 years of acting lineage, Drew started her career in a T.V. commercial when she was just 11 months old. In 1982, 7 year old Drew starred in record-breaker E.T. Early stardom and broken family saw her in a very troubled childhood which she revealed in her autobiography,'Little Girl Lost' in 1990. Drinking at 9, dope-smoking at 10 and coke-snorting at 12 were some of the stops where the little girl got lost. She dropped out of school at 14 and after working for a bevy of little-seen films, Drew Barrymore played an amoral teen seductress in Poison Ivy (1992). Her child celebrity status and sex appeal got further accentuated when she was shot by Ellen Von Unwerth for Guess Jeans.

She appeared her best in projects like The Amy Fisher Story (tv movie, 1993), Guncrazy (1992), and the short-lived twenty-something soap 2000 Malibu Road (1992), rather than in mid-budget Hollywood films like Bad Girls (1994), Boys on the Side (1995), and Mad Love (1995). Leading a fast life, Drew stayed for 2 months in the marriage with Welsh bartender turned bar owner, Jeremy Thomas in 1994 and showed no signs of settling either when married to comedian Tom Green from July 7, 2001 to October 15, 2002. Green filed for divorce in December 2001. After a series of nude appearances in films and public, including the David Letterman and the China Club, Drew finally decided to throw off the bad girl image for a more womanly one.
Drew's excellent performance in Wes Craven's "Scream"(1996), her role in Woody Allen's "Everyone Says I Love You"(1996), and "The Wedding Singer"(1997) have earned her rave reviews. She played a Cinderella with Girl Power in the movie "Ever After"(1998), she played a pregnant fast-food worker in "Home Fries"(1998), and played Luke Wilson's fiancé in the movie "Best Men" (1998). She has begun to focus on her work as a producer, scoring hits with 'Never Been Kissed' and the critically acclaimed 'Donnie Darko' (2001) in which she had a small role. Her most recent acting credit was the sequel to the hit 'Charlie's Angels'.

One of her most recent roles sees her in the hit animated comedy Family Guy as Brian Griffin's shallow girlfriend, Jillian. Barrymore has also appeared in the films Lucky You (2007) and Music and Lyrics (2007).
