Birthday: February 22, 1975
Hometown: Culver City, CA

Where You've Seen Her: After a 1980 film debut in Altered States at the age of 5, Drew quickly made it apparent that she would live up to her famous Hollywood name. (Her grandfather was acclaimed leading man John Barrymore, a star of early motion pictures.) Her next flick, the family-friendly sci-fi classic E.T. (1982), only increased her fame, establishing her as one of Hollywood's most recognized child actresses. Although she struggled along the way, Drew was able to overcome child-star burnout, successfully transitioning into an adult actress. Notable roles include parts in Batman Forever (1995), The Wedding Singer (1998), Never Been Kissed (1999) and as sexy angel Dylan in the Charlie's Angels series. Barrymore makes her directorial debut in the roller-derby comedy Whip It (in theaters October 2), where she co-stars with Ellen Page.

Feed the World: Barrymore is an Ambassador Against Hunger for the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) and has donated over $1 million to the cause.

Kiss and Tell: "Kissing - and I mean like, yummy, smacking kissing - is the most delicious, most beautiful and passionate thing that two people can do, bar none. Better than sex, hands down."
