From E.T. to Her Own Talk Show! 30 Drew Barrymore Throwback Photos for Her 46th Birthday
Since the early 1980s, Drew Barrymore has been a staple on our screens. Whether it was as a young starlet in her breakout roles in E.T. and Babes in Toyland or as a comedic force to be reckoned with later in her adult years, this actress, director, producer and now talk show host has been entertaining us for four decades.
“I love the life I’ve lived!” she says with a grin. “I felt like I was an adult when I was a kid. And then I felt like I was a kid when I was an adult. Then I had kids, and at 45 I still don’t know exactly what age I feel," she told Parade.com.

Barrymore adds, “I would live life over exactly the way that it all happened, because I don’t know if I would be who I am or where I am without each and every circumstance.”
In this next chapter of life for Drew, this mom of two daughters—Frankie, 6, and Olive, 7—has been enjoying bringing her bubbly and bright personality to daytime TV in a way she hasn't been able to in previous projects.
