From the Inside Flap:

At the tender age of 7, starring in Steven Spielberg’s landmark film E.T.—The Extra–Terrestrial, Drew Barrymore won our hearts in a way that no other child had since Shirley Temple. Before the age of 12, she was a movie star, an international icon, and, sadly, the heir to her legendary family’s legacy of substance abuse. Her burgeoning career was soon eclipsed by her off–screen antics. At the age of 12, she was addicted to cocaine. In 1988, she entered rehab, got clean a year later, but not before a relapse and a suicide attempt. Drew Barrymore might have lived out her years as a washed–up child star, but after a two–year absence, she returned in the pivotal Poison Ivy. From the mid–90s, she appeared in a string of hit films, including Scream, The Wedding Singer, Woody Allen’s Everyone Says I Love You, and Charlie’s Angels. More recently, she’s formed her own production company, which will soon produce Charlie’s Angels II.

Lucy Ellis and Bryony Sutherland are the authors, most recently, of Nicole Kidman: The Biography.
