Bubbly and uninhibited, with a child-like sexiness reminiscent of her idol, Marilyn Monroe, the Los Angeles native made 1995 The Year of Drew, starring in three high-profile movies: "Boys on the Side," with Whoopi Goldberg and Mary Louise Parker; "Mad Love," with up-and-coming hunk Chris O'Donnell, and the summer blockbuster, "Batman Forever," with Val Kilmer and Jim Carrey. Off-screen, Drew worked to ensure her stardom by engaging in some risque, extracurricular hijinx. There was the time she flashed her breasts on "David Letterman" as a birthday gift to the host. Or her Playboy pictorial and her tendency, on numerous occasions, to strip in bars at the drop of a dime. "Freedom," as the spirited actress has off-declared, is her mantra. </div> <div> As heir to an acting dynasty that began with 19th-century English thespian Maurice Barrymore, Drew was born in 1975 to sometime-actor -- and disappearing father -- John Drew Jr. and his wife, Ildiko Jaid. At 11 months, she made her first commercial for Puppy Choice Dog Food. At seven, the pudgy-faced cherub starred in "E.T.: The Extra Terrestrial," capturing America's heart in a way that no other child actress had since Shirley Temple. Lesser vehicles, including "Firestarter" and "Cat's Eye," both based on Stephen King stories, soon followed. Before reaching puberty, Drew was both a star and national icon. </div> </td> </tr></table></body>
