Being a child star isn’t always as glamorous as it seems.
PerToday, following Barrymore’s breakout turn in “E.T.
The Extra-Terrestrial,” she nabbed the lead in Stephen King adaptation “Firestarter.”
But, soon, the little girl became more well-known for her rampant drug use than her acting ability.
Her legal emancipation came around the same time.
Despite being successful, the youngster felt alone and incredibly angry.
Although she’s long past that time in her life now, it was still a major learning curve.
And yet, if Barrymore could go back, she knows her younger self wouldn’t heed the warning.
Nowadays, Barrymore is worlds away from that troubled youngster.
As a result, she said, “I have better advice for myself now.
I like trying to tell myself to kindly react with grace.
Be on the high road.
Don’t flip out about everything.
Find calm, find peace.”
Now I want them."
