Book Description

8 and up3 and upReal-Life Reader Biography
Real-Life Reader Biographies present the lives of contemporary role models for young readers. These are the stories of real men and women who, despite many obstacles, followed their dreams.

Drew Barrymore comes from a family of famous actors. Like the Barrymores before her, she is blessed with acting talent. Unfortunatley, she also inherited the family's predisposition toward alcohol and drug abuse.

Drew has been acting all her life. When she was just 18 months old, she starred in a dog food commercial. Not yet out of her twenties, Drew seems to have done it all. She has acted in "B" movies, blockbuster hits, and television series, she has posed nude in magazines and done a series of risque blue-jean commercials; but, more importantly, Drew has overcome her alcohol and drug addictions—something many of her family members were never able to do.

Though not all of Drew's films have been box-office successes, most will agree she is a highly talented actress.

5.0 out of 5 stars Zannos nails Barrymore!, December 26, 2007
By 
Navy Bean "Navy Bean" (Amsterdam/Dayton, OH) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Drew Barrymore (Real-Life Reader Biography) (Library Binding)
Zannos covers Barrymore like an asbestos blanket. Indepth, insightful and insipid, this book gets to heart of what makes Barrymore tick. It's about heart, people. Barrymore came from nothing. No money. No famous name to fall back on ... it was what was in her heart that made her famous. I'll always remember her fondly for her hair-raising performance in Boys on the Side. I'm not sure if Barrymore did any more films after that but there was also a great performance in that film by a man who goes by the name of Whoopi ... is that right? Whoopi? Mr. Whoopi Goldberg? Hmm. Anyway, he was good and reminded me of a young Al Roker.
