Drew Blyth Barrymore (born February 22, 1975) is an American actress and film producer. She has her own production company named Flower Films. Barrymore made her screen début in Altered States (1980); her breakout role came two years later in E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial as Gertie, which brought the then young actress widespread attention, and she quickly became one of the most recognized child actresses at that time. In the late-1980s and early-1990s, Barrymore had various problems with alcohol and drugs, which somewhat damaged her career. She also posed nude for Playboy in 1995. She made a comeback with the thriller Poison Ivy (1992), and afterwards began to perform predominantly in leading roles in a variety of films, ranging from big budget romantic comedies and dramas to science fiction, horror films, and action thrillers. Barrymore has an iconic image as one of the world's most recognized celebrities, and has a worldwide box office gross that stands at over $2.3 billion. According to trade magazine The Hollywood Reporter's annual Star Salary Top 10, she is one of the actresses with the second highest salary per movie for 2006.

In January 2007, Barrymore broke up with her boyfriend, drummer Fabrizio Moretti of The Strokes, with whom she had been since April 2002.[5] She has also publicly stated that she is eager to start a family soon. She is also the godmother to rock stars Courtney Love and Kurt Cobain’s child, Frances Bean Cobain.

Barrymore has six tattoos: A cross with vines on her lower right leg, a crescent moon on her toe, a butterfly on her stomach, a bouquet of flowers on her hip, and two tattoos of angels on her lower back—one with her mother’s name and the other with the name of former boyfriend James Walters.

Drew Barrymore also appeared on a number of box-office films like Charlie’s Angels, Bad Girls, Batman Forever, Poison Ivy, Scream, Riding in Cars with Boys, Mad Love, Boys on the Side, Home Fries, Ever After, The Wedding Singer, Never Been Kissed, Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle, 50 First Dates, Fever Pitch, Music and Lyrics and the upcoming romantic comedy Lucky You.
