Blythe Barrymore was born on february 22, 1975. parented by the famous
hollywood-royalty Barrymore family. She first acted at the tender age of
11 months in a tv commercial. At 7, Drew was starring in box-office
record-breaker E.T. (1982). The flip side of this child stardom was revealed
when she dropped out of school at 14 and published her co-written autobiography,
Little Girl Lost (1990). Drinking at 9, dope-smoking at 10, and coke-snorting
at 12 were some of the stops on Barrymore's descent. After a string of roles
in little-seen movies, Drew played an amoral teen seductress in Poison Ivy
(1992). The role brought her minor-icon status that was further cemented
by a Guess? ad shot by Ellen Von Unwerth. It was a jeans ad campaign which
highlighted her white trash sex appeal. Barrymore tends to fare best in
high-spirited, low-class projects like The Amy Fisher Story (tv movie, 1993),
Guncrazy (1992), and the short-lived twentysomething soap 2000 Malibu Road
(1992), rather than in mid-budget hollywood fodder like Bad Girls (1994),
Boys on the Side (1995), and Mad Love (1995). Less than two months after
her March 1994 marriage to an L.A. bar owner, Drew filed for divorce; she
subsequently became involved with Hole guitarist, Eric Erlandson, whose praises
she invariably sang on her many TV talk show appearances. After many nude
public appearances, including the David Letterman talk show, and the China
Club, Drew has finally begun to settle down. She has begun to throw off her
bad girl attitude and settle for a more womanly one. Drew is now a spokesperson,
and actress for a women's condom commercial which is to air on MTV. Drew's
latest moves in showbiz, include her excellent performance in Wes Craven's
"Scream", and her latest role in Woody Allen's "Everyone Says I Love You."
"Home Fries", "Best Men", and "The Wedding Singer". On a film shoot,
Drew met her latest love, Luke Wilson, whom she seems to enjoy quite a
