My Kind Of Crazy

Since melting audiences' hearts - at the age of six - in Steven Spielberg's beloved sci-fi blockbuster, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982), Drew Barrymore has emerged as one of the most endearing and talented actresses of her generation.

Drew Blyth Barrymore was born in Culver City, California, to actors John Drew Barrymore and Jaid Barrymore (née Ildiko Jaid Mako). Her father came from a long showbusiness legacy, as the son of actors John Barrymore and Dolores Costello, while her mother was the daughter of Hungarian refugees.

Despite a troubled and much-publicized adolescence, and a string of "bad girl" parts in lurid crime dramas such as Poison Ivy (1992), Barrymore's star was officially on the rise during the mid-1990s, with notable appearances in Boys on the Side (1995), Woody Allen's Everyone Says I Love You (1996), and the game-changing horror hit Scream (1996).

An eclectic mix of high-profile and low-key film projects followed - such as The Wedding Singer (1998), Ever After: A Cinderella Story (1998), Never Been Kissed (1999), Charlie's Angels (2000), Donnie Darko (2001), Riding in Cars with Boys (2001) and Confessions of a Dangerous Mind (2002) - proving to once-cynical audiences that Barrymore was not only a capable leading lady, but also a gifted and versatile actor.

Next came headlining parts in Duplex (2003), 50 First Dates (2004), Fever Pitch (2005), Music and Lyrics (2007), Lucky You (2007), He's Just Not That Into You (2009), and the much-lauded Grey Gardens (2009), for which she earned Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild awards for her portrayal of Edith Bouvier Beale.

In 2009, Barrymore - whose production company, Flower Films, has spawned several lucrative features - made her long-awaited directional debut with the comedy-drama Whip It (2009), emerging as "a sensitive director who knows how and when to let an emotional moment linger on the screen" (TIME).

Alongside a recurring guest spot - as the voice of Jillian - on the cult animated series Family Guy (1999), recent acting roles have included Everybody's Fine (2009), Going the Distance (2010), Big Miracle (2012), Blended (2014), and Miss You Already (2015).

Does anyone plan on seeing Drew's new show on Netflix? (Santa Clarita Diet)

My Kind Of Crazy

yeah i plan to check it out. depends on how gory it is on how far i will watch (im not a fan of major blood/guts)

Greysjolex

Thanks for welcome haha yeah I definitely am, I'm a big horror movie fan so the gore doesn't bother me lol will be strange to see her in that kind of role although I think it's still mostly a comedy isn't it? Her role in scream is probably one of the best horror movie cameos/openings i reckon, it's such a classic!!

My Kind Of Crazy

yeah it is a comedy. and i love timothy olyphant who plays her husband in this. so im really hoping it will be great

Mi||iê Måë

I love Tim too! He was great in Scream 2, even though Drew was in Scream, they were not in the same Scream film!

My Kind Of Crazy

Tim is great in everything. he is such a funny guy im glad he is finally doing a comedy

Mi||iê Måë

I look forward to this series, I think it will be entertaining for sure!

My Kind Of Crazy
