Barrymore has opened up about her father, actor John Drew Barrymore, being a violent alcoholic, and her mother who struggled with parental responsibility. Her parents divorced when she was 9.
In an 2015 interview, Barrymore told the Guardian that her 14-year-old self imagined having a happy life at the age of 40 despite being consumed by so much negativity.
“I was so scared of not knowing where I was going. I really had a fear that I was going to die at 25,” Barrymore said, adding that even when things got dark, she always had a sense there should be goodness. “I never went all the way into darkness. There were so many things I could have done that would have pushed me over the edge and I just knew not to go there.”
Barrymore went on to have a successful film career, starring in “Charlie’s Angels,” “50 First Dates” and “Scream,” to name a few. Her talk show premiered in 2020. She shares two daughters, Olive, 9, and Frankie, 8, with ex-husband Will Kopelman.
“I try to make my life a playground for them,” Barrymore told USA TODAY in 2020. “They know I’m passionate about work, and work is a wonderful and necessary thing.”
