Why does Drew Barrymore have a career?

[Orrex]

Does she have some skill or talent that she's been hiding from us, lo these ~25 years?

[avasmom]

1. simple, really

she's sexy without being 'threatening' to women.

ultimate chick flick fare.

-t-

[Orrex]

2. Interesting!

I don't get the "sexy" part, but I'm willing to take your word for it!

[supernova]

3. I think she probably can act,

but for the past several years has chosen material she could sleepwalk through and stll get a nice payday

[hellbound-liberal]

4. I haven't seen many of her movies but I really liked Fever Pitch.

She seemed really down to earth. I don't find her sexy but she does seem to have a nice personality

[KG]

5. that would describe about 95 per cent of hollywood.

[Deja Q]

10. Only 95? Try 99, and I don't mean Maxwell Smart's coworker!

:rofl:

[flvegan]

6. She did scandalous before scandalous was cool.

I honestly think she's done quite well, considering her childhood, etc. She's attractive, and has some talent.

Oh, and she's got nice boobs.

[Neoma]

7. She started through the movie E.T I think...

[Deja Q]

11. I betcha she has penis breath...

Can't believe the writers made up the that paraphrased line in 1982! :wow:



:hide:

[JVS]

31. my brother and I thought that was the funniest line ever when we saw that.

[Guaranteed]

32. Yes, which she got because of her dad- John. nt

[MonkeyFunk]

8. She's adorable

I love Drew!

[QueenOfCalifornia]

9. She was born into

Hollywood royalty.

She was a decent child star - remember ET?

She isn't all that terrible considering she was an alcoholic by the time she was 12.

:hi:

[TZ]

12. I like some of her stuff alot

Music and Lyrics is cute (Hugh Grant) and I LOVE Ever After..Have you seen that? A Princess Bride type movie....Very funny in my book

[Bucky]

13. She gives the people what they want and a reasonable price. Her company provides jobs.

Make that "good paying union jobs". Why do you hate the idea of skilled craftsmen and artists earning honest livings. Obviously you would prefer if they were in Iraq killing civilians... or maybe... probably... you would prefer them to be in Iran stepping on the heads of baby seals.

You sick fuck.

[Orrex]

16. Doh! He's onto me!

Note to self: Must Kill Bucky.


Oops--was that out loud?

[TZ]

17. Poor Bucky

Obviously he does not realize he is dealing with Chucky Doll..stuff anyone into a freezer yet today?:hide:

[Orrex]

18. Well, it's only five cubic feet

I need to be selective in my corpse-stuffing.

[Ellen Forradalom]

14. She's a good business person

Not just acting but producing, too.

[Xipe Totec]

15. She did a great job in ET

and a nice cameo in Donny Darko.

[Runcible Spoon]

19. She produced Donnie Darko.

'Nuff said!

[baldguy]

20. She's smarter than she looks.

Tom Green not withstanding.

[Orrex]

21. Maybe that's what's been bothering me

I hate her for Freddie Gets Fingered via some viral association, perhaps...

[Left Is Write]

22. Because she's dating Justin Long.

He's got some connections in the business.

[Cabcere]

23. Somebody once said that I look kind of like her

:shrug: I wish. :hi:

[JI7]

24. she is smart, able to relate to most women and girls and cute

[Rabrrrrrr]

25. She's talented and beautiful.

I like her.

[Skittles]

26. I believe Ms. Barrymore is quite talented

and I don't say that lightly - as a movie buff I am on to the bimbo status of a great number of "actresses". And she seems like a genuinely nice, decent gal.

[Lindsey]

27. I think she's talented, cute, and is all around really appealing....

I actually enjoyed her in "The Wedding Singer" (with Adam Sandler). I like a lot of her movies. She produces too. I think she's very genuine.

[Lethe]

28. she doesn't have a huge range

but generally i like her. She has nice breasts, and is not concerned with that whole blonde twig skinny hollywood thing.

[oedura]

29. I get her before I get Paris Hilton. (nt)

[JVS]

30. What is her last name?

There is your answer.

[orleans]

33. just looked at imdb.com

she has 60 appearances in movies & tv shows
10 producer credits to her name
and 2 directing credits

i've hardly seen a thing she's done. but i really like her and the movies i've seen her in.

[Guaranteed]

34. Here she is going nuts in Firestarter:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pq5LsCRTNWs

One of my favorites of hers.

[MrSlayer]

35. Yeah, she was born into the right family.

There's a whole dynastic thing that goes on in Hollywood. Charlie Sheen still has a job.

[Vidar]

36. The name & the "bad girl" schtick as far as I can tell.

[Perry Logan]

37. I had little use for her until "Music and Lyrics," where I thought she was great.
