At the height of her career as a movie star, Barrymore was pulling in $15 million a picture, as she reportedly did for her role in the film Music and Lyrics.

Early Life

Drew Barrymore, born on February 22nd, 1975, has cinematic fame in her blood from the start, being a member of one of the most famous performing families in show business history. Her paternal grandpa, the renowned John Barrymore, was one of the most acclaimed performers of his day, and the number of Barrymore who worked as actors before and after him is too vast to name here. Drew has prominent cinematic icons such as Steven Spielberg and Sophia Loren as godparents. Her notoriously tumultuous life includes parties, drugs, and alcohol at a young age, entering rehab at the age of 13, and emancipating from her parents at the age of 15.

Barrymore’s acting career began much younger, at the age of 11 months. According to the account, she was nipped by a dog during her audition for a dog food ad and responded by smiling rather than sobbing, earning her the job. She made her feature film debut a few years later in the 1980 science fiction picture Altered States, but her part as Elliot’s younger sister Gertie in E.T. That elevated her to international cinematic stardom two years later.

Acting Career

Following E.T., Barrymore was cast in Stephen King’s 1984 adaption Firestarter. In the same year, she played a young girl in a court struggle to divorce her famous parents in Irreconcilable Differences, a portrayal with spooky parallels to her own life. The next year, she appeared in another Stephen King film, the horror anthology Cat’s Eye. Despite her increasingly difficult personal life, she continued to work throughout the 1980s.

Barrymore’s image shifted in the 1990s, as she fought hard to shed her child actress character and began taking on more adult adolescent parts. The most well-known of them is arguably 1992’s Poison Ivy, which was a box office flop in theaters but went on to become a cult classic on home video. In 1993, she starred in another cult classic, the utterly unclassifiable sexual thriller Doppelganger. Another remarkable performance came in the late 1990s, in 1998’s The Wedding Singer, opposite Adam Sandler, and she finished out the decade in 1999 with Never Been Kissed.

Drew Barrymore’s climb to cinematic popularity continued in the 2000s with her role as one of three Charlie’s Angels in the 2000 remake and its 2003 sequel Charlie’s Angels, Full Throttle, for which she got one of her highest paychecks of $14 million. However, she also acted in lesser independent films such as Donnie Darko and Confessions of a Dangerous Mind at the same period. Then, in 2009, she made her feature directing debut with Whip It, a roller derby drama.

Following a few more major appearances in films such as Going the Distance and Blended, Barrymore embarked on a new professional path, starring with Timothy Olyphant in the Netflix original series Santa Clarita Diet.

Between 1999 and 2019, Flower Films produced several of Drew’s films, including Never Been Kissed, Donnie Darko, 50 First Dates, and Fever Pitch. Flower Films also holds the film rights to Charlie’s Angels; therefore, Drew’s business not only produced the original two movies (in 2000 and 2003), but also the 2019 re-boot.
