Roger Ebert described the picture as having "guts, charm, and a black-and-blue sweetness," whilst TIME magazine hailed Barrymore as "a sensitive director who knows how and when to let an emotional moment linger on the screen."Īlongside a recurring guest spot (as the voice of Jillian 2005-2013) on Сім'янин (1999), recent acting gigs have included На відстані кохання (2010), Велике чудо (2012), Змішані (2014), Miss You Already (2015), and Дублерка (2020), as well as the principal role of Sheila Hammond in the Netflix series Santa Clarita Diet (2017), on which she also served as executive producer during its acclaimed three-season run. Headline parts in 50 перших поцілунків (2004), Fever Pitch (2005), and Music and Lyrics (2007) came next, as did the critically-lauded television film Grey Gardens (2009), for which she earned Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild prizes for her astonishing embodiment of Edith Bouvier Beale.īarrymore - whose production company, Flower Films, has spawned a string of lucrative features since its birth in the mid-nineties - added yet another string to her bow when she spearheaded the sports dramedy Whip It (2009), her long-awaited directorial debut. In spite of a turbulent adolescence that saw her grapple with drug and alcohol dependency, a determined Barrymore threw herself into her career during the 1990s, first with a succession of "bad girl" parts in cultish B-pictures like Отруйний плющ (1992), Guncrazy (1992) and, fittingly, Стерви (1994) then well-received turns in notable projects such as Boys on the Side (1995), Woody Allen's Всі кажуть, я тебе кохаю (1996), and the game-changing horror hit Крик (1996). Born in Culver City, California to actors John Drew Barrymore and Jaid Barrymore, the clutches of fame were virtually inescapable for young Drew, her father being a member of the esteemed showbiz dynasty fronted by stage star Maurice Barrymore, his thespian wife Georgiana, and their three children: Lionel Barrymore, Ethel Barrymore, and John Barrymore. Since melting audiences' hearts at the tender age of six in Steven Spielberg's beloved sci-fi blockbuster, Іншопланетянин (1982), Drew Barrymore has emerged as one of the most endearing and talented actresses of her generation.
