Barrymore's career makes for colorful copy. Barrymore has started to receive more notice both as a serious actress and a savvy Hollywood "player", though without losing her reputation as a sex symbol and (occasional) hellraiser.

In addition to the light-hearted romantic comedies that she has typically starred in, she has also recently explored more challenging roles in movies such as Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, and the recent cult favorite, Donnie Darko, of which she was also the executive producer. She has produced several films, including the very successful Charlie's Angels movie adaptation and its sequel. Though her playful sex appeal has undoubtedly helped her remain in the media spotlight, she has also established a substantial career behind the scenes, despite never finishing high school. Barrymore has continued to be a highly bankable movie actress.

During a 1995 appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman, Barrymore shocked the normally unflappable host by climbing atop his desk and flashing her breasts at him, as part of a dance for his birthday. At that time she had also appeared nude in her last five movies. Enclosed was a copy of her Playboy appearance, with the pictures altered by his art department so that she appeared fully clothed. Steven Spielberg, Barrymore's godfather, gave her a quilt for her 20th birthday with a note that read "Cover yourself up".

Though overcoming her substance abuse problems by the time she entered adulthood, Barrymore maintained her "bad girl" image, and in fact leveraged her new found role as a sex symbol to stage a career comeback in the 1990s, playing a teenage seductress in Poison Ivy, and posing fully nude for the January 1995 issue of Playboy. Barrymore later described this early period of her life in her 1990 autobiography, Little Girl Lost. In the wake of this sudden stardom, she enjoyed a notoriously reckless and indulgent childhood, drinking by the time she was 9, smoking marijuana at 10, and snorting cocaine at 12. She performed in a skit where she revealed that she had killed E.T.

At the age of 7, on November 20, 1982, Barrymore became the youngest ever guest host of the weekly TV program Saturday Night Live, after Andy Kaufman was voted off the show. She shot to fame as a child actor when she co-starred in the 1982 Steven Spielberg film E.T.. When she was bitten by her canine co-star, the producers feared litigation, though Barrymore merely laughed the incident off. Barrymore's career began at the age of 11 months, when she appeared in a dog food commercial.
