Before Fred Savage was one of the biggest child stars in the ’80s, he had to get his start somewhere. How cute was the 6-year-old in that 1983 commercial for Pac-Man Vitamins?
To hear him talk about it on The Drew Barrymore Show, then click here!
We all know that Drew Barrymore plays the first person that is killed off at the beginning of Scream. However, that was not the original role she was cast as. Today, on The Drew Barrymore Show, she revealed how she went from the lead to the dead.
“One night, I was at my apartment in NY and had this weird revelation. And I called the other filmmakers and said, ‘Is there any chance,’ because I was attached to play the Sidney character. I said, ‘Is there any chance you would let me play the girl that gets killed in the beginning because this is what I want to accomplish with that. In every horror film, it’s like that the hand just goes. They just get away…and you kind of always have this tension but you kind of know your hero is going to make it.'” she said. “I thought, what if I die and then it will be like all bets are off, anyone can get killed in this movie, and we would take away that sort of cliché safety net of the girl always gets away. So I thought this was the best way I could serve this movie and this script, and I believed it.”
That was a smart, creative decision on her part. Financially, it was dumb. Creatively, it was brilliant.
I wonder if we would still be talking about the Horror film had she stayed as Sidney. It is not that she would’ve been wrong in the role. The movie stood out that they killed off her so quickly. What do you think?
Drew Barrymore is back in Manhattan doing her daily CBS talk show. In order to introduce her co-hosts, Ross Mathews, Chef Pilar Valdes, and Interior Designer Mikel Welch, she recreated NYC RomCom scenes from Working Girl and Sleepless in Seattle.
But we all know the most famous scene that fits that criteria. It is the orgasmic one in Katz’s Deli from When Harry Met Sally. How did she do? Let’s just say any man will know she is faking it.
Last week, Drew Barrymore dressed up as her Never Been Kissed character, and today we found out why. On September 14th, she is staging a reunion with Molly Shannon, David Arquette, and Michael Vartan on The Drew Barrymore Show.
I can’t wait to see what Vartan looks like now. He was so hot. Hopefully, he still is.
While that is Tuesday, on Monday, she will have on Jennifer Aniston. On Wednesday, she will be reunited with her BFF Cameron Diaz, and they will listen to Billie Eilish sing. Then on Thursday, she is having an Emmy show with the award show’s host Cedric the Entertainer and Entertainment Tonight’s Kevin Frazier & Nischelle Turner.
In 1999, we fell in love with Drew Barrymore as the girl who’s Never Been Kissed. Now, 21 years later, she is slipping into her pink prom dress and answering “Questions I Get Asked All The Time” on TikTok.
Does she wear that dress all time? Nope, only special occasions. She also doesn’t eat eggs. And finally, Josie Gellar wants us to know she is not Drew Barrymore, but she realizes they look alike.
Just like she never aged in the movie, the talk show host doesn’t age in real life either. She still looks like a teen with that side ponytail and braces.
