Drew Barrymore (born 1975)

​Drew Barrymore is living a life of authenticity, kindness and an openness to learn and to grow. From her first appearance as a precocious six-year-old in ET to her cameo as “her talk show host” self in Scream 2, Barrymore has grown up before our eyes. Her very public journey as a member of the legendary Barrymore acting dynasty has been one marked by addiction and reckless behavior. At 14, she emancipated herself from her parents and began rebuilding her life with a commitment to honesty and healthier lifestyle choices. Barrymore has gone on to become an award-winning actress, director, entrepreneur and television host, who is now grounded in reality. Openly bisexual, Barrymore embraces her full identity on her daily talk show, as she infuses her interviews with a candor that celebrates everyone’s journey to lead meaningful lives.   Her philanthropy reflects her compassionate view of others, whether she is advocating for children and global hunger relief though her Foundation or publicly supporting UNICEF, St. Jude Children’s Hospital, the ASPCA or grassroots organizations, working with and for underserved communities.
