Born into Hollywood royalty, Drew Barrymore was practically a star from birth. While many know that her famous parents are John Drew Barrymore and Jaid Barrymore, her great-grandparents and grandparents, particularly her grandfather John Barrymore, were also iconic actors. What's more, Drew's godmothers are Sophia Loren and Anna Strasberg and her godfather is Steven Spielberg, which may or may not have given her a leg up in her audition for the unforgettable role of Gertie in E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial.
But Drew has earned her place in Hollywood with a Golden Globe nomination for Irreconcilable Differences and rom-com contributions like Never Been Kissed, 50 First Dates and The Wedding Singer. Plus, she recently debuted her own talk show, The Drew Barrymore Show. Get ready to look back at some of the cutest, most awkward and memorable moments in Drew's exciting career so far.
