I'm a pretty good judge of genuine people and phony-balonies. Drew has a million-dollar last name...and she could be arrogant and affected if she had let the heritage go to her head.
However, I'm delighted to say she is genuinely unaffected, humble, fun, personable, bubbly, appreciative of her lot in life....and she appears to have a well-balanced and undramatic personal life. Now she's a proud new mother.
Drew has an almost child-like love of the acting profession and the art of film-making....a love that's probably in her Barrymore genes. I enjoy viewing her and listening to her informative comments on the movie industry when she and Osborne discuss the evening's feature film. She's got a lot of cinema history from the silents forward in her pretty little head.
Many folks seemed to think she'd tread the same sorry, disasterous paths as a couple of her illustrious late relatives, but she evidently has turned out to be a conservative, happy housewife, mother, businesswoman, director and actress....and she seems to be handling all her balls in the air very well indeed. I wish her all the best.

Leni, She has been to hell and back. She chose life. An appearance on an SNL reunion show with her in the audience kinda shows it.
Bill Murray came into the crowd singing and went straight to her. He welcomed her back. It was a number of years ago and she was both embarrassed and surprised.
She is A-OK in my book.

It’s not, IMO *who* is saying it...it’s *what* she’s saying more than anything.
At some time in one’s life you question, the *why am I here?* questions of life....a wonderful spiritual journey begins. ;)
Very well said. Also, if you can catch her in the remake of “Grey Gardens” with Jessica Lange, she is downright hilarious!
What a wonderful post & so true. She is one of those people who so thoroughly turned her life around that it is nothing short of amazing.
Plus, she is a very smart business woman. Nice antidote post to jack “hole’s.”
