Drew Barrymore has got to be one of the most loved actresses in Hollywood today. She's down to earth, always friendly, stars in some of our favorite rom-coms, and is a producer and director to boot. She also doesn't fit the usual Hollywood beauty standards of having to be super skinny and unrealistically perfect looking. Which is why a lot of women can especially relate to her.
As a child growing up in Los Angeles, Barrymore was abused by her father, John Barrymore, which she has been really open to discussing over the years. She also got into drugs and alcohol as a teen, which definitely threw her off her course of becoming a superstar actress. Luckily for her and all of us, she somehow lifted herself out of her childhood hell and became wildly successful.
