Films such as "E.T.", "Charlie's Angels", "In Cars with Boys" and "50 First Dates" became popular, making the Hollywood bad girl Drew Barrymore once popular. She experienced the decadence of adolescence, walked through purgatory, drew nutrients from the struggles and pains of the past, achieved a gorgeous turn in her thirties, and finally blossomed brilliantly!
Drew was born into the Barrymore family, an acting family that has appeared on the list of Forbes magazine. In 1975, two months after Drew was born, his father, John Barrymore Jr., passed away.
's mother Ediko Jide was so poor that she could only rely on her daughter's surname to make money, so the 11-month-old Drew was taken to participate in the shooting of his first commercial.
In 1982, 6-year-old Drew was spotted by director Spielberg and played the role of Goldie, a little girl kissed by an alien, in the science fiction film "E.T." After filming ended, Spielberg became Drew's godfather.
In 1984, Drew starred in two films, "The Fire" and "The Stage." Both films earned Drew nominations for the Golden Globe and Mars Awards for Best Supporting Actress. At that time, she was even received by President Reagan.
However, becoming famous prematurely is not a good thing for Drew. In order to make money, her mother often took her to attend events that were inappropriate for her age, concealed her true age, and allowed her to flirt with some men.
When he appeared on the TV show, Drew showed an attitude and behavior that was inconsistent with his age. She once said, "I am only a 7-year-old girl, but I am expected to act as mature as a 29-year-old."
At that time, Drew, the Hollywood loli star who was ripened, was like a rose that bloomed prematurely. Beautiful,
but always revealing some pathology.
From a cute little child star to a notorious bad girl, she has been flooded with negative reports. Drew once recalled, "In people's eyes, I was a broken thing. Unfortunately, I can understand their thinking." When she was 14 years old, she cut her wrist with a razor blade and wanted to Get rid of this abnormal life. Her panicked mother thought she was just suffering from drug addiction. When she was 15 years old, Drew was sent to a drug rehabilitation center for the third time. She didn't even finish high school.
Drew wrote an autobiography called "Lost Girl" in a drug rehabilitation center, using words to break with the entire family and bid farewell to those gloomy days.
After coming out of the drug rehabilitation center, Drew understood that if she wanted to get rid of the past, she must change to a new environment. She applied to the court to leave her mother's custody and live alone.
Then, she started working in a coffee shop. Drew said: "I'm not good at anything. I've only done two things: acting and living a life of indulgence. But these two things can't help me cope with the real world."
After three years of dormancy, at the age of 17, she re-started She returned to the entertainment industry, but at this time she was no longer the popular child star she was before.
It is a pity that in people's eyes, she is still the bad girl who hangs out in nightclubs and lives a corrupt life. Therefore, most of the roles she played initially had an erotic flavour, just like the mature and sexy bad girl Ivy in "Tides of Desire"!
This is also a crucial turning point in Drew's acting career. The "lovable, pure and innocent little girl" in the audience's mind no longer exists. Instead, there is a sexy and coquettish image of a beautiful woman, Drew. He also began to boldly act in passionate dramas and break through his own limits.
In 1994, Drew starred in the western film "The Last Day" with Anne McDowell and Medellin Stern. She played Lily, a prostitute who escaped from the gangsters.
In 1995, she starred in three films: "Everlasting Love", "Forever Batman" and "Love You Deeply".
She put aside her glorious past and started with small roles. She tried various roles in an effort to get rid of people's stereotypes of her.
Finally, in 1996, the great director Woody Allen had a discerning eye and gave her the leading role in the musical "Everybody Says I Love You".
Drew used her wonderful performance to prove to people that she is no longer just a vase who only drinks, takes drugs, and messes around. She has gained everyone's recognition with her acting skills.
In 1999, Drew founded the film company "Flower Films" alone. The first film she produced, "One Kiss", earned $55 million, becoming one of Fox's most profitable films that year.
In the film, she plays a female reporter who returns to her school days and serves as the executive producer of this romantic comedy.
2000, she began to star in the "Charlie's Angels" series of movies. Other starring roles include Cameron Diaz and Lucy Liu. The story of three beauties of different skin colors battling wits and courage with bad guys has also successfully become a blockbuster.
In 2001, she starred in the biopic "Cars with Boys" directed by Penny Marshall. The film tells the story of a girl full of fantasy who chases her dreams but is repeatedly defeated by reality.
In 2004, she collaborated with Adam Sandler and starred in the blockbuster comedy "50 First Dates". From then on, she was finally no longer a sexy bad girl porn star in Hollywood, but a synonym for romantic comedies and a Hollywood sweetheart goddess.
In the spring of 2007, her partner Hugh Grant's romantic comedy "" was released. In November, she collaborated with Justin Long in the movie "He Actually Doesn't Like You That Much", both of which achieved certain results.
In 2009, Drew starred in the movie "Grey Gardens". In order to play this role well, she hardly talked to anyone for four months, put on makeup for four hours before filming every day, and had 17 layers of chicken skin on her face.
In 2010, Drew won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress for her wonderful performance in "Grey Gardens".
After more than 20 years, Drew once again stepped onto the stage of the Golden Globe Awards. Drew finally put on the clothes he took off one by one, and finally worked hard to wash away his unbearable past.
" Roller Skating Girl " is the first film she directed, starring Ellen Page . It was released in the United States on October 2, 2009. The film was adapted from a 2007 film by Shawna Cross. This is a youth-themed novel.
God had given her a peerless beauty early on, but almost brought her into a devil's cave. She finally understood that an empty-minded vase would only be treated as a plaything by people, so she had to work hard to make some good movies.
However, with the passage of time, after 2010, Drew gradually became a has-been actress, and she was busy with her family, so it was impossible to compete for resources with Xiaohuahua, but she had achieved brilliant results, and no one could deny it.
Just like in 2018, Drew promoted the series "The Rebirth Menu". She said: "I didn't want to take the role at the time. I had been a stay-at-home mother for a while, raising my children at home, but I just didn't want to go out to work. ”
Compared with Drew’s complicated experiences in her early years, her emotional life was equally bumpy. In 2001, Drew married Tom Green. The first marriage only lasted 19 days. The second marriage lasted for 5 months.
On June 2, 2012, Drew Barrymore married art consultant Will Kopelman in California. They had two daughters. This nearly four-year marriage also ended in failure.
American media released a statement from the two: It is a pity that we will be legally separated, but this will not separate our family. Divorce may make you feel like a loser, but you still get by.
No matter in good times or in bad times, Drew, the once bad girl in Hollywood, experienced low points in life, but she was able to counterattack and become a winner in life in the end. Although the beauty is late, her story continues.
Have a peaceful time! We also hope that the goddess can provide you with more wonderful things in the future.
