Movies starring Drew Barrymore
| Biography: |
With a natural flare for comedy and a warm, engaging demeanor, Drew Barrymore has come a long way since her big-screen breakout in Steven Spielberg's classic 80s sci-fi adventure, ET-The Extra Terrestrial. Despite a troubled and much-publicized adolescence during which she made only a handful of films, Barrymore's star was officially on the rise during the mid-90s with notable appearances in Poison Ivy, Bad Girls, Everyone Says I Love You and Batman Forever, not to mention Wes Craven's Scream which marked the revival of horror cinema.
Higher-profile roles in The Wedding Singer, Ever After, Never Been Kissed, Charlie's Angels, Riding in Cars With Boys and Donnie Darko followed, proving to once-cynical audiences that Barrymore was not only a capable leading lady, but also a gifted and versatile actor.
Recent big-screen ventures have included the comedies 50 First Dates with Adam Sandler and the Farrelly brothers' Fever Pitch, whilst a role in Oscar-winning director Curtis Hanson's Lucky You, opposite Eric Bana, has just been completed.

However, she also develops an early interest in boys, and at 15 finds herself madly in love with a boy from her high school. However, an attempt to get his attention leads to an embarassing incident at a party, and Ray, a sweet but thick-headed 18-year-old, steps forward to defend her. Beverly and Ray end up making out, and after one thing leads to another, Beverly discovers she's pregnant.

Against the odds, Beverly is determined to still finish high school and go on to college, but that goal becomes more difficult with time, especially after Beverly's marriage begins to fall apart.
