Barrymore achieved fame as a child actress with her breakout role in E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982), followed by starring roles in Poison Ivy (1992), Boys on the Side (1995), Scream (1996), Ever After (1998), Never Been Kissed (1999), Charlie's Angels (2000) and it's 2003 sequel. She starred with Adam Sandler in The Wedding Singer (1998), 50 First Dates (2004) and Blended (2014).
