She was married to Welsh bartender turned bar owner, Jeremy Thomas, from March 20-April 28, 1994, and to comedian Tom Green from July 7, 2001-October 15, 2002 (Green filed for divorce in December 2001).

Drew Barrymore took over the care of her father, John Drew Barrymore until his death from cancer in 2004.

In January 2007, Barrymore broke up with her boyfriend, drummer Fabrizio Moretti of The Strokes, with whom she had been since April 2002. She has also publicly stated that she is eager to start a family soon. She is also the godmother to rock stars Courtney Love and Kurt Cobain's child, Frances Bean Cobain.

Barrymore has six tattoos: A cross with vines on her lower right leg, a crescent moon on her toe, a butterfly on her stomach, a bouquet of flowers on her hip, and two tattoos of angels on her lower back--one with her mother's name and the other with the name of former boyfriend James Walters.

Barrymore has also stated she is bisexual in July 2003 issue of New Woman. On the subject she has said: "Do I like women sexually? Yeah, I do. Totally. I have always considered myself bisexual. I love a woman's body. I think a woman and a woman together are beautiful, just as a man and a woman together are beautiful. Being with a woman is like exploring your own body, but through someone else. When I was younger I used to go with lots of women. Totally - I love it."

In March 2007, former magazine editor Jane Pratt revealed on her Sirius Satellite Radio show that she had a lesbian affair with Barrymore. Barrymore appeared on the cover of the debut issue of Jane magazine in 1997. Pratt was the editor of the magazine at the time.

Barrymore's career began at the age of 11 months when she auditioned for a dog food commercial. When she was bitten by her canine co-star, the producers feared she'd cry, but she merely laughed, and was hired for the job. Her first movie role was in Altered States (1980), and just a year later, she landed the role of Gertie in E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, which made her famous.

She received a Golden Globe nomination for Best Supporting Actress in 1984 for her role in Irreconcilable Differences. In the wake of this sudden stardom, she endured a notoriously troubled childhood, smoking cigarettes and drinking alcohol by the time she was 9, smoking marijuana at 10, and snorting cocaine at 12. Barrymore later described this period of her life in her 1990 autobiography, Little Girl Lost. Her nightlife and constant partying became a popular subject with the media when it occurred.

Though she overcame her substance abuse problems by the time she entered adulthood, she maintained her "bad girl" image, and leveraged her new-found role as a sex symbol to stage a career comeback playing a manipulative, evil teenage seductress in Poison Ivy (1992). The film found enormous success on VHS when it was first released.

She posed nude for the January, 1995 issue of Playboy. Director Steven Spielberg gave her a quilt for her 20th birthday with a note that read "Cover yourself up". Enclosed were copies of her Playboy pictures, with the pictures altered by his art department so that she appeared fully clothed. At that time she had also appeared nude in her last five movies.

During a 1995 appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman, Barrymore shocked the normally unflappable host by climbing onto his desk and baring her breasts to him, her back to the camera. The flash was intended to celebrate his birthday. She also modeled in a series of Guess? jeans ads during this time.

She made a comeback with an iconic but small performance in the successful 1996 horror film Scream. According to reports, she was offered the lead role of Sydney Prescott (which ultimately went to Neve Campbell), but turned it down, requesting to star as the opening death of Casey Becker, because she stated it would "be more fun to do".
