Drew Barrymore (b. 1975) appeared in an advertisement when she was only 11 months old. After a turbulent childhood, she was one of the fortunate ones able to transition into a career as an adult in the movie business—finally directing and producing films. In this photograph—taken in West Hollywood—she is four years old and reportedly questioning her mother about what a butterfly experiences when it flies.
(Photographer Unknown) – Young Drew Barrymore (1978)
A minor correction:
If she was born in 1975, then in this 1978 picture she was three years old (or going on three), not four years old.
Because there are some gaps in the provenance of this photograph—it appeared in a book about child stars, I am not sure what to correct about this (the age or the date) so for now I will have to leave it be. But yes, someone out there didn’t know how to do arithmetic. -Ron
OK, maybe this whole thing is not vitally important, but other sources give her birth year as 1975.
I’m just uncertain where to make the correction, so all dates should just be taken with a grain of salt. -Ron
