NEW YORK, June 18 (UPI) -- Bravo explores the career of an actress who literally grew up in front of the camera when Drew Barrymore joins host James Lipton on "Inside the Actors Studio."
The daughter and granddaughter of acting legends, former child-star and now star of the upcoming film "Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle," shares her life and craft Sunday.
At 27, Barrymore is one of the youngest actresses to appear on "Inside the Actors Studio." However, she was only 11 months old when she had her first acting job -- a dog food commercial. Barrymore shares the legacy of her lineage and her relationship with director Steven Spielberg. We hear how she landed her career defining part as Gertie in Spielberg's "ET," and the "special" gift which he gave her after she posed nude in Playboy Magazine.
Barrymore opens up about her substance abuse problems, which landed her in rehabilitation for over a year at the age of 13. She even shares her substance use timeline, including smoking her first cigarette at 9, having her first alcoholic drink at 11, smoking marijuana at 12 and doing cocaine at 13.
