038 – Details, June 1993
About this episode
In 1993, an 18 year old Drew Barrymore was profiled for the June issue of Details magazine. The feature's photos by Albert Watson remain iconic for 90s Drewbies. And the accompanying article written by (the now familiar to How Do You Drew listeners) Chris Heath is chock full of fascinating information about what our girl's life was like as her career was coming back on track. We also catch up on What's New with Drew, including incredible photos from Drew's 21st birthday that have surfaced in a new book!
This episode includes clips from the audiobook Wildflower by Drew Barrymore.

Hello and welcome to you. How do you drew this is a Drew Barrymore podcast brought to you by the jersey of.com and sponsored by our friends at positive medium. I'm a man and I'm Ashley and welcome to episode. 38 got we're running out of cool number things I don't know what to say about 38. We have had a cool number thing at a little while. It's just exciting that we're at episode. 38 feels like a big deal. Yeah. Yeah we just keeping it going. Let's do it. Yep, we're on my age of an episode, so yeah, there we go.
Okay. So let's just hop right in with our whoopsie, daisies. Follow-ups tidbit section, which is just one annoying thing. Yeah, follow up. I guess, fraud follow. I don't know. So how do you follow up that phony? There we go. I don't know. So the day after our Never Been Kissed, episode comes out where We talked about things that didn't age well, and we also specifically talked about, Michael Vartan, little story about his excitement while holding the kiss. This article comes out on our website called the things.com, not familiar with it.
Me neither and the title of the article is the awkward Never Been Kissed. Confession that Fans Say proves the Drew Barrymore film did not age well. And I was like, oh my gosh, the fans say like, obviously they're talking about us, right? Yeah. Well, I went through the whole article and there's no mention of her episode and I just don't know that this could be a coincidence. I mean, is it worth us? Reaching out to the author and being like, hey if you use desk cool, if you didn't like great research because I think it actually is not a terribly written article but it'd be a really big coincidence if they didn't use us, I mean that Michael Vartan confession, came out two and a half years ago, right?
Yeah. So what would be the purpose of putting it out now except for seeing but it's like we don't we don't know what the quote unquote buzzes around our podcast. Meaning like we don't know who's listening. So I think if it wasn't just this mention that over and over again, the article the fans that I dance. I'm like you wanna dance. Yeah why aren't you crediting us. Yeah, I'm so fascinated by it and I would love to know more. Maybe we'll send a sweet little thing to the author and say, hey, are you add Ruby?
Did you listen to? How do you drew just curious? It was just like, put a little footnote. Yeah, guys. All right. So what did Drew love in the things that you encounter this week? Since we don't have new episodes of the show, right? They actually are still airing new segment. Okay, but they, you know finish filming quite a while ago. Yes, I'm a little behind. So I only have a handful of this week. But they're still good ones. I love love. So this week, Drew lives, a cutting board who doesn't? Who doesn't love a cutting board cherries.
Hmm. Oh well, that makes me want some cherries. I'm sorry. I know a fan and she means the fan. That circulates are not a fan like you and I, well, I think she also loves us. Yeah. Obviously the weekend and I'll specify this one as well. She means the musical artists to not the Saturday. Sunday weekend not like a long weekend like Memorial Day Weekend? Yeah and then finally she loves honey and a zest. I think we've had lemon zest specifically in that section before but this time it was just a zest.
There's something too about the words s that I feel like is very drew. It is it's not weird. That is so true. Oh my God, I completely agree with that. I'm also thinking about maybe making a page on the podcast website that just has like a list of All the things from every episode that be fun, somebody be into that. Maybe if you'd like to read that let me know and I'll put that together. Okay so for our truism of the week oh someone's picking up you know those cool little isms that we do. I really like this one we're going to put the audio in because I don't think I could do it justice.
So Drew had dr. Suzanne Gilbert lens on the Drew Barrymore show and she's been on several times. She I believe Is going to college of since she comes on and talks about all kinds of cool body stuff. They call it a like, no shame in the game. I think basically like any question is nothing's off limits so before they got into things Drew had this beautiful thing to say, let's hear it, all right why are we all like sheep who just got woold in a cold field? Like well, when it comes to like talking about our body, So good, so eloquent.
So perfect and has the visual great. Great pulford Rhythm of the week. I think that it checks all the boxes. I love it. I love that. It's just like apropos of nothing. Why are we all sure? It's like Drew you are the best like you never cease to amaze us the way her mind works. So can you tell me about what you pulled for this week injury history? Yeah. And if I don't Not fit like comes into play later on in our main topic and it was just a coincidence. Okay? So this weekend, your history, June 1st 1991.
The ET ride opened at Universal Studios Hollywood, who drew attended this with her friend Hajj real honour, who we only recently found out was the fellow vampire victim and the wonderful waxwork to Cameo, great and there's pictures of Drew with Steven Spielberg. I know Henry Thomas was there but I don't think there's any pictures of them together and I think her look is really cute. Yeah, let's talk about it. Just grab it like casual. But I think what I love about it is how much about but elements of it like personified, this AI was Era of Drew.
So there's like her, like kind of curly looks like it might be poison ivy. Yes, but it looks almost like perm. Curl, does it look like her magic Pearl right now? Oh, it's poison ivy, perm for sure. It's the right. It's right, we go. And then in this one picture that you have in our notes, you can like seed a pack of Marlboro Reds in her pocket, cross necklace, that she wears and like a couple photo shoots at that time. Like it's so interesting. And the jacket looks like a men's jacket. Do you think it's like her boyfriend jacket or something?
I don't know. It does have a men's jacket look to it but that was also kind of like it's just yeah I'll yeah. And but it's a great. It's a great early 90s truoc particularly like the way her hair is falling on the sides of your face. It's really cute. And her sunglasses are not a way. She wore a very often like pulled back but sort of out. Yeah, okay, so you have some other fun things that we can relate to this. So yeah. So I just wanted to mention when I went to Universal Studios this, my senior trip in 1999 I was, this was like, I was really into drove, like, this is when I was like, your class 1999.
Thank you very much. And so, of course, I was so excited to go on the ET ride and I noticed, because I was paying a lot of attention that there were almost none. If maybe none, no, visuals of Drew in the ride anywhere. So, there was like big photos. I think, like, when you'd be waiting in line of stills from the movie and there weren't any of her. And I couldn't help but wonder if they were trying to like distance themselves from her bad girl image at that time. So this isn't 1999 that you went.
So you're thinking like they might have like yeah and 91. They were like, oh we don't really want to but they can take the other, didn't change it between then and 99 considering how like much her Renaissance, it happened. Like that's so interesting. It was just a thought I had at the time. Surprising. Right. But yeah, 1991. Unlike that's really fresh. Yeah, interesting Professor. I'm and then, of course we went together. So the ride was officially closed. Sadly enough. March 14th 2003, which I can't believe anywhere.
The Ides of March, am I right? It's for real. I'm like trying to make a pun with Ides and rides rides.
I'm just quoting Never Been Kissed From now on I know, because we did that. We did listen to it a lot. So anyway, we went right before it closed, you and I went together, which is so fun. So, I have a couple little memories about it. One, which I just remembered and I didn't write in the notes, is that I found out that the ET ride was closing, because I was looking through like a newspaper and saw a little, like about it. And I think I reached out to you, because you were living like, at least some One close by and I was like, oh my God, we have to go before it closes and so not long after that.
Obviously before it closed we went and I have a recollection that we got season passes that year but it was like a by a day. Get a year free. Yeah. It used to be so like an expensive to go to Universal Studios, I remember you could like take a coat, can I had a promotional thing on it and go for like 20 bucks? But yes. So we so we went, we got season passes, I recall we might have gone one more time. But so I had a recollection that I have a picture of me around the same time, with an ETA yet hat on and it's really silly.
Yeah, it's a really funny looking. It's like ETS face on top of my head and I see that there's one of both tests and I am the hats. Did we go together? Yeah, we went with test like at the end of the year in December. Oh my God. How funny. So the, so the ride must have been closed by then, but they still had stuff, that's really funny. So I assume we'll post this one of the pictures of us from visit, which we look like such babies. It's, we were 20 years ago. Crazy. Okay, so, before we get into the big topic, what's new with Drew, okay?
She's I probably should I've made more in depth on this but I guess you guys could just read it yourself. So on Mother's Day droop hosted a really cool blog post on her blog which she doesn't use that often. But it was a really nice long story tangentially related to Mother's Day but mostly was really about her time in rehab and sort of like family therapy. Did you read it? I just realized that. Now I never actually sat down and read it. Okay. Yeah, it definitely. Should I mean I read it again on Mother's Day that was two weeks ago so my memories not like super sharp about it right now.
Yeah, I'm sorry I didn't take notes on it but I know that what I read all of her blog post, I'm just so grateful that that exists and that she's still every once in awhile surprises us and post something on it. Like, I know, I feel like we should be saving them. We have definitely strings, like, they won't be up for how we definitely should, but I also feel like maybe we'll have to just dedicate an episode to the blog or something. Yeah. But I also Also thought this recent posts like will definitely come in handy when we do talk about her time at the ASAP Treatment Center.
There's new details in there that I found really interesting so we'll go over it more in the future then there we go. Yeah, okay, so what else we got? Okay, so the very popular podcast you must remember this. They released an episode called 90s Lolita's volume 1 and it was mostly about Drew. I found it, interesting. Okay, first of all say it was exceptionally well researched, like I was my mind was kind of blown because they were pulling out articles that I feel like would be really difficult to come across these days.
Unless you had the physical magazines like we do, and I also couldn't help but wonder if our website wasn't in any way utilize because the fastest way to find out droon 292 magazines is through our website. Like it's actually one of our most popular pages on our website. So interesting and we're like one of the top results. So I was really hoping to see you credit but the only things that were credited where the actual articles? So part of me feels like, I'm sure we were utilized in some way. Would have been really cool to get a shout out from that huge podcast.
But regardless, to listen to it, I've listened to a couple episodes of this podcast and have a couple thoughts about like the way they probably do research. Is like like my guess is? They might be like in archives like in magazine archives because like libraries. Yeah like be and I reason I think that is because they do podcast a lot on like old movie stars, right? And so, like that kind of stuff would be harder to find. I'm curious how they've used periodicals on those. I'd have to look into it but I would like to listen to it.
And I'm interested like her process, because yeah, once again, like you said, we come up. If you type like Drew Barrymore 1992, All right, so we're like the main thing that comes up, but like you said, we're like kind of leading someone toward the resource, right? So it's like what kind of that in between? We're like the library that leads you to the resource, like, to be honest, it's kind of a cool thing through true. And then the other thing, I just want to say about it, is that she also spend a little time talking about Alicia Silverstone, sort of filling that role and after Drew and I didn't realize this.
But at least, it was compared to Drew Ooh, quite a bit and I didn't know that either. Yeah. And Alicia did not seem to be that favorably, okay. Yeah. Especially probably at that time. Like Drew's coming out of a rough patch so if you're Rising he's like the bad girl you know? So yeah, go listen. I another thing and just quickly is it really talked about a lot of the things that we keep bringing up which just like, you know, we've been talking a lot of episode specifically in our 1992 year in review, which which by the way, is one of our most popular episodes will, but just about how Drew was sort of Exploited or, you know, view sexualized when she was really young.
So it was kind of nice that that's sort of in the Zeitgeist right into the seems like the kind of s.h.i.e.l.d. Shield stuff and I'm glad that people are looking at this with the different. I I think it's good to have a critical eye on it and I'm glad that there's not any shame being put on Drew, you know, because I feel like every time it would have been like shame on her right there. And I think we're at A time where it's like, shame on the other people. Come on everyone. Around her who wasn't giving her the knowledge, you know, didn't care about how exploitive it was.
So it's really fascinating. It's like I love that though. The way it's coming out. Yes, we do want to put blame on somebody, but the culture is literally shifting. So it's like that's so true. It's Society. It will be very interesting when we do our poison ivy episode, how we like feel about all this stuff? To be continued. All right, so another like well I guess the most awesome thing we're going to talk about right now. You talk about this one, okay? So we became aware somehow of this really cool Photography book, that is like in pre-order right now by photographer Named.
Dave Marquis and inside publisher posted kind of a teaser of some of the images inside and it includes this amazing. An amazing picture of Drew that we now know is from her 21st birthday party that has Eric Aronson gained Pratt, Pat smear of Nirvana and Bill Bartel, who is White Flag, a band that he was in Ashley? Yeah. And then he also is in Saturday morning cartoons so it all kind of like made sense. Yes. And there was one other picture that when I was looking through on the website for the publisher, there was another picture that we So I was like, I need to buy this immediately.
When we like dead over the photos we will share them. Well it's 1996 black-haired Drew super like glamorous makeup like a red sparkly dress. Just delicious. Absolutely delicious that's so true. I immediately as soon as I found the thing I was like hesitated for a split second to pre-order and then I was like no this is gonna be one of those things that I probably won't be able to find it again like I need to just order it. It was like $55 I I think including shipping. So hopefully it arrived. I had this thing of like okay, as long as Anna has it, that's that's okay.
I do want to mention that Jane Pratt reached out to us because she said, where did you find that picture of all of us? And when was it from? Thanks for the memory. So, I mean, I sent her a link to the back and explained what it was and said we were told it was that juice 21st and he told us that it was at that birthday. Was it the publisher? Okay, cool. Yeah, they were really helpful, they also, Identified Bill, Bartell for me because I was like, I recognize this guy and so Jane said, amazing. And I remember that party now and the restaurant.
Everything, so much fun. I'll check out your podcast and that book also, thank you so much. Thank you, Jane. I, thank you Jane. I would wear your like a dream guest of ours, Jane, if you're listening so I told her so. Okay. Come on, come on. Yeah, that would be a question. Yeah, three, you have two questions and safe, space, safe space. Yeah yeah. Yeah. Last thing that we want to mention as that Drew attended the con, maybe you can explain who this guy is better than I can. Yeah, the only thing I'll say really quickly.
His name is Gary Vee maybe, his name is a little bit longer, just a quick editor's note. His name is Gary vaynerchuk but he's like inspirational guy aggressively inspirational guy and that's not a good description. But that's that's all I got for you. And she was there as accurate. She was there to talk about beautiful, right? Yeah. So she was there with Shay Hong her partner and beautiful and man, it looked like a huge crowd of people that they were speaking in front of saw a lot of Clips on Instagram.
There was one really cute when I saw on Twitter I should have gotten the user's name but he was wearing a shirt. I guess with Drew's face on it and she when she like walked in, she saw him. And she was like, oh my God, I love your shirt and give me a hug cute. We can always link to It yeah, good idea but yeah so she kind of just it seemed like she mostly was talking about being authentic and you know probably also being very inspirational and what she was saying. Yeah, I would imagine I think it's a good fit.
I feel like it works for Drew because she's got those spurts of like aggressive prostitute. Positivity for sure. There's a couple cool things. I pulled from the article that you'd link to about the event. Yeah, so a couple of things that Drew said that feel like you were kind of talking about Authenticity. She said about kind of like building a brand. She said, being you is your biggest asset. So I loved and then this faint. This other thing felt very very like true to Drew. She said be around people who encourage you to be you which I was like oh yeah yeah like this that just really encapsulates.
One of the things we love about Drew is her like you know she's just like surround yourself with people that you love and and respects like. Yeah. Okay so the other thing is we mentioned on a previous this episode that Drew had been called by. I forget what publication wasn't enough, you remember? But had been takers LA Times, that sounds right. She'd been called the millennial Oprah and during this event they said that she could also be called the millennial Martha Stewart. And Drew's reply was like, oh my God, she's so cool and talked about that.
Of course a recent visit Sports Illustrated that. Oh yeah. Like her partnership with Snoop Dogg and I thought it was kind of neat for Drew to be like getting these like names of sort of The last generation of daytime TV you know like so good though. It's really sweet but I like Oprah and Martha Stewart like oh yeah gonna be. I'm never not love that Italy. Yeah and I just wanted us to play this quick clip. This is from at manager, John j0n on Instagram. He posted this really cool video of Drew's presentation really well edited and he had this audio and it really spoke to me because I feel like you could Apply this to why we started this podcast and why we enjoy doing it so much.
Yeah, totally. Alright. So let's listen.
He said, I want you to go out there and look at everything that you see and tell me what you see. And I say, I've done that. I've done the research, I've looked at everything, I've got it now. Tell me what you don't see, and go do that. And I thought it was the smartest thing I've ever heard. In my life, I find the white space find the blank, find the thing that you wish that was out there that you don't see And do that, do the thing, you wish existed. But do what it is that so burning inside of you that you just again you can't extinguish it because you're so passionate for it to exist out.
Yeah, thank you. John, first of all for putting that together. Yeah. And yeah, I really feel like we wanted this podcast to exist so we were like we need to make it that I think I agree with you and it is really good advice. So the other thing about the editing those it sort of feels like it's like something scary's gonna happen.
Sorry squirt. She's very serious about it. It's very serious. Is a very serious business woman. It's going to be really interesting to compare that kind of feeling of who drew is now with our weekly topic, which will ya How did he dream?

We're always ready. Let's do it. Chris, we are. Yeah, we're going to talk about the June 1993 issue of details magazine, Drew was on the cover, and we have a really fun article and some fantastic pictures. So, let's start talking about it. Just to put this in perspective, Drew was 18 and weirdly. We time, this will pretend I did it on purpose. This would have come out. Exactly. Thirty years ago because it would have come out, May 1993. And now we're in May, 20 23 so that's wild. I mean, we're just really, really great.
I did instinctually timing things like there you go. We didn't know that we would just naturally marketing rejected that's 30 years wild. That's so crazy. I think it's strange that not, I wasn't a Jew fan at this time but like I remember that your vividly whenever that happens and then I like, look at how much time it's been a while. Like that. I don't know yet. I know you're old. Yeah, ugly. Okay. So the photos for this magazine were done by Albert Watson, who also did details in 1996, and then the picture of Drew with Val, Kilmer in 1995.
Is that also for a details issue? Yes, I went. Okay cool. I love that picture. No, I know, it's such a weird like one off random. Yeah, he actually posted that recently and explained like this was pre Photoshop. So he just liked it, some sort of developing trick because valves upside down in it Batman reference. But yeah, it wasn't done through Photoshop. It was like, however, you would develop two photos together, I guess the Double Exposure something. I think I assume that maybe they like having like hanging or they were like, laying or something else like that.
They did some practical effect, but yeah, it is really weird. That's cool. I know it is cool. I'll see if I can find the post. Okay. That's cool. Side to extra bonus trivia for you. Okay, continue good there. Yeah. Okay, so the hair was done by John's. The Hague suhag, sohag Chong. Makeup was done by someone named rumiko. Another little editor's note that I thought would be fun to mention rumiko. Also did the makeup for Rolling Stone, 1995 s layout. So that's pretty cool back to the Show and The Styling was done by William.
Mullen who also did the details 1996 as well. So I think he was maybe a details stylist or he just like the photographer, I don't know. Yeah, I was wondering. I always wonder what those kind of things like if they were both there was it like, oh, the photographer styling team, you know? Yeah, that's me. It's just interesting little bits. Okay, so now let's get into the photos, which are actually really cool and interesting as a set. Yeah. But like, I was trying to think of something to say about them broadly, and I was like, they all feel different enough that I don't think I could describe.
Grab them, but I sort of tried to like in my mind like it's kind of punk rock, but kind of like bombshell. Yeah, kinda, I don't know. I would agree with that. It's very awesome 90s. Yeah, black and white. It's a for the cover. Yeah, I think that definitely sums it up. Yeah, they're rad. So do you want to go ahead and start with the first, okay? So our cover is very unique, never seen anything else from it which is My old to think about Drew is upside down on the cover. Speaking of being upside down, maybe that was the same.
He like, she's laying on her back and her legs or up in the air and you can see her Moon Tattoo and a little bit of a cross tattoo. Yeah, it's just really cute. And her hair is like glamorously curled and just like a crown around her. It's definitely supposed to have a like well there's a giant headline on the magazine says, Generations sex. And sex is gigantically across The magazine which is, you know, like we've mentioned, it's interesting. So there's there's a couple things I feel like when I look at this cover I've seen it so many times that I literally like don't see the sex anymore.
Now that's my business. That happens the Isabel sex like things like that that impact you. It's like at first it sort of that Primal first thing. And then if you become desensitized to even like words like that, you know, totally but the other thing I was going to say that the style of it has like a very Hang up the cover is very pinup like it's also the way it's like colorized like she's like completely white background. Or hair has like a golden tone that almost looks like it was black and white and then colorized like it's sort of an interesting even.
Yeah. It's even though I don't think that's the case, but it looks like a like a pinup playing card. If you've ever seen those I like, yes, it's really cute and I do like that the headline for her part. Says, the flip side of Drew Barrymore was pretty cute idea that is Very cute. Okay, so now getting into the first image that appears in the issue. I'm not sure if there's anything in the contents but I don't believe that there is think. So is a full-page picture. I'm sure that you love this one as well.
I love this that's why it's almost like should I take it? But she's sitting at a diner counter and the cool thing about this and this might be the only one. We have an outtake of this one. So only out. Yep. So there's a couple things we've got We know where it's where it's located because of the outtake. Yes, because you can see in the out, take it has the neon sign for this Diner. I was called Florent. It was a diner in New York. It was kind of legendary. It sounds like, but unfortunately closed back in 2008.
So, the primer primer, cool little factoid about this, but she's smoking in it. She's got this pout like her face is just perfect including the cigarette. I'm sorry, I know only Drew you like what else can you kind of pinpoint about it? That makes it so dreamy, it's just very much 90s. Drew the leopard, print mixed with like a camo jacket makes no sense, but she totally makes work. I always didn't even notice that. Absolutely, and I always liked that big like cuff bracelet. She's wearing, she might be wearing two.
Actually. Hmm, I think she's wearing a cuff like with two different times that types of spikes on each eye. It's just, she just looks like it's Glamour and punk rock at the same time. Like you said, that's perfect way to describe it. Yeah. So dreamy. Yeah, the next one is her driving can't tell. What she's driving. I was supposed to taste like a big bus. That's so weird. There's no reason to know. I always thought it was something big to not a car. Yeah. And she's making this like devious face. Oh yeah.
Well looking but entertainment. Cool. Did I already say that? I feel like each picture is a different character. No, but I think it's okay. So I think I was maybe thinking of saying it kind of at the end of this. But this is why I thought of it because this one. Yeah. Like it feels like there's more to the story. I know. God, I would love to, I just not us. She still has the cough. Yeah, I can't tell if anything else is the same and this is a small one. It's only takes up about a quarter of a page.
But yep. And she's got a butterfly ring. I don't know if you already said that, I know, but I noticed it. Yeah. Like I feel like the other one feels like an elevated glamorous version of Drew herself. This one is like a character or something that trucker. Yeah, yeah. The movie that she was working at the time that didn't quite work out that That. Okay. So then the next one. This is the last one, I guess. Yeah. Sadly is also amazing. And I was going to ask what your favorite is. This one's my favorite.
I'll explain this and then I'll let you take a breather and then you can do that. Okay, so this one is again black and white again. She's smoking. And looks like she's leaning against a wall kind of draping. One of her hands over her ways. Waist and just glancing out to the side like coolest chicken the world. No, I can't believe she's only 18. What my God and she's got a shirt on that says too fast to live Too Young To Die. Which I don't know what that's actually from, but I feel like there's like a famous definitely a thing.
Yeah. But that's what gives it like the punk rock field. Plus, I always associate like that local plant with punk rock. Yeah. Yeah. And now you saying, again, she's 18. I think my when I think of this, I think of like myself who was only like four Teen or something when I first saw this 13 you know and then thinking like oh my God that like adult woman even though even though it was already older at that point. Yeah it's why? So it's weird to look back now and think like I'm 20 years older than the girl that's photographic.
Okay. Stop you're scaring me. Okay. So that one's your favorite. That's my fair K. I think I have to go with the diner one. Yeah. They're all just beautiful though. And yeah. Or one out take like you said. Is that the diner and that's all All we've ever seen. And we've only seen that because it was in a gallery somewhere and like one or two people online like posted it like a picture of it on Instagram and it's like what the heck is that? So we haven't even seen like a good version of it just like one hanging on a wall.
Yep. Albert Watson hook us up man. Yeah, truly hook us up. I mean, I love the other photo shoot. He did in details. 96 to the one with Tim Roth. Yeah, it's so cool. Beautiful. Okay. Mmm. It's good at his job. Yes, yes! Yes, okay, so now let's jump into the article which turns out is rad and surprise surprise. We had talked about doing this because this is by Chris Keith, who has done two of our other favorites episodes, we've already covered. Actually I should get those episode numbers ready to go.
I'm sorry seven which is one of my absolute favorites and we covered that one in episode. 15. Okay. And then he also did Rolling Stone 2000, which is the last magazine episode that we did. And that is our episode number 34. So when we were doing that, when we realized, oh, this guy is had a long relationship, interviewing Drew their like, consider friends at that point. Let's go back to the beginning and read their first encounter and I love that we kind of accidentally on purpose. Did that too?
When that happened? I know, I wish Chris. He The online presence he really does not. I've tried to buy them to reach out that no such luck. So Chris if you find us. Yeah I do hear this because your friends are like, come on. You gotta listen to this podcast. Like they're now on the third profile. He did with Drew Barrymore and we know you love Drew but it's okay when we're best friends with Drew Barrymore. We'll hang out with Chris. It's okay, perfect. Perfect. It's gonna turn next life. I want to go ahead and give a disclaimer at this point because this article contains mentions of a lot of sensitive.
Topics including Eating Disorders, guns drug addiction domestic abuse, underage, sex. And we will briefly kind of touch on these things. So if any of that, you know, if you're with, you know, mixed audience, you might want to listen to this one later. Well said, okay, so we start out kind of talking about Drew's difficult and lonely Early Childhood her friendship with ET which is cool because that was like her one friend, it felt like yeah. Then it continued talking about how the fame from ET must be a burden sometimes and it drew said that the Universal Studios tour, which is so funny that we were talking about the Universal Studios rides today so funny.
Yes, she said that she always gets called out and really embarrassed. But this didn't totally track for me because the ride is not part of the tour, you know what I mean? Yeah, but she said, when we get to the eat, He part, which may be at that point. There was something on the corner. Yeah, she might just be mixing it up. But she's here, I'd was a totally different thing, totally different. But she's now they always go. We've got a special passenger on the bus and Miss Barrymore, would you do the honor of riding the bicycle?
And she said, every time she refuses and says, I don't think so. I don't even have to do that in the movie. I think there's a couple things that could be possible. I think maybe they had like a bike out and they were like, Yeah, and the movie are famous Universal Studios. Film e.t. They ride a bike and they might be like, does anyone want to ride it? Usually, or something, instead of just the ride. But, you know, in the ride itself it was like you were sort of like quote-unquote riding a bike. Yeah, it was like fun time.
It is funny that she remembers it being like part of the tour. It was, it was a fun little ride. It was cute and you would give them your name when you were in line and then he would say goodbye to you. Yeah. Yes, like we started to do like Drew or like Daisy, right? Probably that tract. We at least talked about yet. All right, so they have a quick summary of little girl lost which like we said someday we'll go over it. We're not just dismissing it because you just know there's a lot of information at that out there so they're just kind of rehashing that part and then they talk about Drew's post-rehab career first kind of mentioning that there were casting directors that were laughing.
Drew for having the nerve to audition, which like imagine how painful that would be, she kind of refuses to talk about movie. Doppelganger and says, this great line, which is like, has a Drew as I'm vibe to it. Yes, it says you'd stick needles in your eyes rather than watched that. And I'm just realizing it came out of that year. The surestep feeling like, not promoting it. She didn't have a problem. She wasn't gonna get in trouble apparently or didn't care if she does. Did and then she kind of gets props for her performances and poison, ivy gun, crazy and Amy Fisher.
And it talks about how she's kind of got this new persona in these characters of the willfully. Sexy alluring teenage Misfit just so funny because this totally tracks with that, you must remember this podcast about. Now. She was like intentionally sexy teen which is just like such a weird like when Think about that. But it's like Mmm. Yeah, there's something later in this article that kind of touches on that a little bit more and we can talk about this a little bit more of just like how Drew felt about that.
Yeah. But the last thing I wanted to say that was in this little chunk, was Chris wrote suddenly anything was possible she could act. After all, she could be famous for what she is. Not just Infamous for what she was and maybe she could be happy. I love that. Yeah, I just like that because I was it was like a A hopeful kind of like suddenly Drew can make decisions on her own. Yeah. Oh, the cool. Okay. So Chris and Drew meet at a coffee shop near her house and she brings along her assistant. Kim, great sir and her best friend slash crewmate Justine baddeley.
Hmm. And that Justine talks about how she calls Drew Lulu and she made up the name one day because she wanted to get Drew's attention. But she knew she shouted Drew everyone would stare. So, she calls her Lulu at this point. It's really cute and it talks about how Drew hates being stared at like she's from another planet. And if you recall, that's one of the reasons she related to Josie grossy or Josie and Never Been Kissed, because, you know, is for different reasons that Josie was stared at, but that's like Drew understood that feeling of like, yeah.
Oh, you are different and everybody's looking at you because of it. Totally. And if you haven't listened to our episode about Never Been Kissed, please do. It's episode 37. The one we recorded immediately before this. So, Oh, it's fresh in her mind. Yeah. What are you waiting for? But yeah, we're really proud of that episode. So this next part is interesting and I'm going to like tread lightly on it because there's sort of this sort of a little bit of eating disorder dismissal and also just like the specifics, it gets into about her.
Weight is just weird. The only thing I wanted to say is that it was interesting that it really felt like a an 18 year old and the way that we don't like Drew feels Older to us at this point, but like she was only 18. So she literally says, like I was trying out and eating disorder. And it was like cringe like this is not people don't try them on, you have one or you don't have one, you know? Like so it's I was it was just sort of like it felt very like she's young like I immediately was like Not only would that not maybe not fly now because people would be like you're canceled saying something like but you know, it's just really interesting and I wanted to talk about it because I think even Drew would be like I didn't know what I was talking.
Yeah. You know like it's like she's has her own isolation. But one thing that I thought was cool, just because I looked it up and I was like, oh, I can see it. So this part is like, Chris is describing Drew and he talks about her shorter hair and she said that she'd cut it all off after seeing an actress named Patsy Kensit in a movie called 21, or is it a TV show? I think it was a movie. So I was like, I just have to see like what she's talking about and then would like, one of the first caps that came up, I was like oh, is this really cute?
Yeah, like Curly hairs, kind of Blondie. Annette. And I was like, oh yeah, I can see it. I love that. You felt that. Yeah. Chris as says and this is an interesting, its wake, a weird sentence. Most of the time she is disconcertingly pretty. Although, occasionally just for a moment, the face of a plane almost dumpy teenager Pierce through the reason why I kind of like it though. It's just, it's like, dumpy almost has like a, she's like normal. But also, she can probably make like, a face, like some Um bratty kid would ya know like so it is funny to use the word dumpy.
Like I don't think you would talk about a teenager that way and in print anymore but now ya got away with a lot back then. Yep. He also mentions that she's dresses like in baggy, casual clothes and this sentence I like even though again she's only 18 but yeah, says her charm and sexiness are far more subtle than the vampy voluptuousness shows on screen which we've definitely And how like she can turn on that persona but in real life she just feels like a big dork. So yep. Exactly. It isn't she really does like she really hits both and that's why it's like he's saying like one after the other.
Like she's just concertedly pretty but also like it kind of has like she is Joe secret. Yeah you know and then it's like she's a vamp but she's also like this dork and sweet and sweetheart like it's like all of it. Yep. Yep. Yeah. That tracks. So then Chris also wrote and I just liked this This, she can talk in a tone and confidence that belie her years. But for all her past exploits, she maintains an apparently uncalculated in a sense. As a social seduction, it works a treat that is fun and just kind of piggybacking on that Tamara Davis who, of course, directed her and kind of crazy and a couple other movies.
But at this point, just been crazy, her quote, was she wants you to like her and you like her? Yep. Yep. And according to Chris that withdrew, there are plenty of sweet Smiles. Engaged eye contact. And each time you part, the biggest hug you could get from such a small person. She makes you want to look after her. But leaves you in no doubt that she could look after herself. Just fine. That still tracks 1000%. That's true 1000. And I feel like she would read that and go like, yeah, totally, that's always the /.
I've always wanted people to think, I think and no. Be fine. I've always wanted people to know the strength of my love like yeah, I identify with this. Well, so are the biggest hug Giver? I know? Yeah. But I also am, like, here's all of my love and a hug. Yeah. Okay. So in this part of the article, Drew Justine and Kim or kind of chatting about teenagers or like kids these days kind of and they say they have the freedom to make their own choices and they kind of go off on this. Interesting little thing related to this and Drew says you got to touch the stove to see how hot it is.
And Chris makes a joke about her having burns and then he feels a little bad because he's like teasing her and I like this Drew laughs and says I was never one of those who could just hear about it, I always had to touch it and she still definitely, I feel like I've heard her say that kind of recently. Yeah, it totally feels the right like she's like yeah. I don't, I don't know. I gotta find out for myself. So then they go and walk to her apartment. She was not living in her house anymore because she had shared that with Jamie Walters and their breakup was pretty fresh and it was too painful for her.
Yeah, that's interesting. This article she said she was the one that broke things off but that doesn't match all the other accounts that we know about. So I don't know what who knows doesn't really matter. We just know she was heartbroken about it either way. Yeah and in an unrelated conversation later on Chris asked her like what's the first thing you think? When you wake up and she said, Jamie just his name, so she's definitely still hurting about this. Yeah, I think we had a looted in the episode we did about like 1992, like assuming this was had to be a big, like first big break up the way.
Yeah. But Jamie. So like I didn't remember having read this before. Like, how she does talk about him, but I'm probably at the time. Maybe I hadn't experienced heartbreak, like I have Have ya know. So I'm like, I look back at it and go like, yeah, I get it. I named thing Totally Trucks for me. Like I totally know what that feels like. Yeah yeah I get that. This was cute too. So Drew is like apologizing that are Apartments a mess. Although Chris writing the Articles like it's actually pretty clean.
Andrew talks about that she and Justine are moving soon and you made this note that we can maybe assume that it's the house that the guests money paid for. Yeah, actually you guys should go listen to our episode number. So way back in the beginning of the path, we talk about the guest campaign and get into details about how she really wanted to find a house and then guest came a-callin and she had the money for it. So cool. I love when the stuff gets connected. Yeah, meteor Minds. So Drew talks about that she and just seeing like to stay in and read and make art and start with that.
They recently played dress-up which I was like, that's way too cute. I keep it. It's also like kind of shows like there, Young, they're playful like, Drew's trying to, like, have fun and be a kid for the first time. Also, my gosh, so true. And then, this was just kind of an interesting little tidbit. There's a box on Drew's a bedroom floor, and she says, it's a suit that Steven Spielberg sent her made by Armani, that was sent her for her 18th birthday, and she said, she cried. And I was just like, have we seen this suit?
I was so curious and we speculated, but nothing really fit. Exactly, like, didn't look like, Like all one suit. There were some Blazers. Yeah. And really, I don't know Armani that. Well. No me neither, maybe someone else. You know what? If anyone else finds out there? If you look at pictures around anyway, I bet I could ask my friend Alex, he's so good at tracking down like 90s clothing, I don't really know. We'll follow up if we think we should find out what it is to be kind of Firebase. So, Chris goes on to describe her bedroom, more in-depth and he says in her bedroom or close a sunflower bedspread which is so cute.
I definitely had One of those and 94 a framed photo of Audrey. Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's, a photo of herself. That's half hidden by a framed. Fragment of quilt would love to know more about that me to unlike, what's the photo and what's the quills? Like, both of those things? And then yes, somewhere beside her bed though. She doesn't show. It is the gun. Jamie gave her. Yeah, and I did not remember this from anything before. So I was like, have we heard about this? Yeah, and you remembered that.
We had another Magazine from Like around that time. Yeah. So weird though, then Chris continues to describe the parts of a room and he says, at the foot of her bed, is a little photo gallery, mostly, they are friends. And she introduces them as though they were there. She passes over some without comment. There's an old photo of a man, maybe it's her father and then they continue to talk about her father a little bit and she says, she has one thing that her father has ever given her. That she like cares about that ever meant anything and she said, it's an old white shirt made out of soft thick.
Indian cotton from her dad that he's tossed. Her one day. Yeah. That she sometimes sleeps in but she kind of like says like that's the only real thing he's ever given me. I can totally visualize him just like throwing it out her. Hey daughter. Yeah, take this. Yeah. And then she cherished it. Yeah. Oh, it's just so sweet and sad and we'll get more into that as the article goes on. We'll talk about her, dad, some more as all these articles did back then every single one. Yep. It says, that every night Drew has a bath and that often she kneels beside her bed.
Them praise and she said she'd probably shitting her pants and have a heart attack if God ever answered her.
I was also kind of surprised a couple of times. It mentions like her mentioning religion and her father, like mentioning like the Bible and like yelling at her yelling at her about Bible verses. Yeah, I think kind of feel like we knew something like that before. I just didn't remember that part for some reason I can't you visualize it. Absolutely. So Drew at that point was wearing a t-shirt that just seen had painted the other day. And it shows stick drawings of the two of them smiling, which is so cute.
And underneath she wrote, I love you lulu with all my heart. Well, I really wish we had a pie. No, Justine talks about what a sweet friend Drew is. She tells a story of Drew punching, some actor for her and cutting his face open. Let's go to Peru. Yep. And then about 10 times, While they're together. Drew tells Chris, how grateful she is. For her friends, who are her family, which of course, is a constant theme Andrews life. Absolutely constant. I was like, yep. Yep, yep. This is like 30 years later.
Same same same. Yeah, she gets to that article gets a little bit into the family history, the about the Barrymore's, and then Drew's dad, including his abuse, which you can go back and, you know, see other resources about this including a little girl lost but then Drew says half of him was a shithead. But I was always so desperate as a child to have his acceptance because I couldn't have it. I always wanted him to be proud of me. She pauses is still, do I think you do Drew we know. Yeah, I mean, yeah, we always like no matter what we always want our parents to be proud.
Yeah. And that's, you know. All right. So then Chris and Drew meet up again, the next day, which is fine. Like, I feel like all of his articles, he spends multiple days with her and this time she was wearing another homemade t-shirt and this one was Covered with daisies. Of course, if you get a little worse, it was it Daisy? Talk at this point? Yeah, he quickly mentions her tattoos and, you know, we get the note that we mentioned in our tattoo episode, but how her flowers on her left hip were originally, just a rose, but she didn't like it.
So she added daisies to that. Yep, should we call it, or touch it? But that's never 12. I know that one by heart.
I was just like, oh my God, how many episodes? Listen, listen. That way if you haven't listened to all of them, you need to listen to all of them but we're saying everyone and it boy even though I'm playing, don't stop until you're done. And then start over as you probably missed something because you were sleeping.
Anyway, so I love this part. She starts talking about her black Bronco with a daisy sticker on the rear which was being washed around the corner while they were talking and she says I love my car so much. I care so much about this car. I pet it. I talk to it all the time then she says she's not a good driver and crashes all the time and we wanted to pull a little bit from Drew's book Wildflower because they talk about the same car. Yeah, so there's a chapter that's called Rocco. It's the seventh chapter, they're not numbered.
If you wanted to know where to find it early on in the book, my car didn't have a name per se. It was just a metaphor for my life. Wild Bull in China, shop, Reckless, I was around 17 and still living in West Hollywood going on auditions again while trying to revive my career. But not in any Spotlight, it was just me and my Bronco. Yeah, which is amazing. I love it. So she describes it in different color here. So I don't know if these are two different Broncos, I picked out my two-tone car with a navy blue bottom and a tan hard top because it looked like a big box.
And I liked cars that were high up short woman's complex and it made me feel like a badass. I fitted it with a CB radio and an illegal megaphone that came out. The front below the grill and you could shout crazy things and give people a real jump. I love it. But yeah, this really does time to the article. It starts talking about, I just loved hanging out with my two best friends Justine and Mel, Justine and I were roommates and we had a little house up in the hills. We would go out party, paint, smoke, cigarettes, and take Polaroids.
That's what we did. It totally is the same Sarah. Yeah, awesome. Yeah. So, if you haven't read Wildflower, like, what are you doing? Yes, yeah. Why are you listening to us? I'm just kidding. Listen to us over and over and over again. If they said, I love this little bit. So she puts on a tape that Jamie made for her, it's just sad. Yeah, there were a couple albums that she said were her favorites, including the Trinity sessions by the Cowboy Junkies and This Woman's Work by Kate Bush. So then they go get Justine and they go to Sherman Oaks Castle to play mini golf actually, I should ask my husband.
He grew up in Sherman Oaks off to ask him if he went there. I'm sure he did. Probably and I think maybe I've been there. Oh that's cool to play mini golf. Oh, I love that. How cool Andrew insist on going s and talks about how to is there lucky number? Because her birthday and all that. Which I relate to because she's 22 and I'm 11. So I just well that and if you didn't know her looking number was to what are you doing here? But you guys the whole time just kidding. But we have to bring it up in case you're new and if you're a newbie Derby, that's okay.
You're welcome. Don't worry. You're welcome and we are gonna fill you in on every little detail you could ever need about Jerome. Yes. You're going to be sick of of us, more than you'll be about Drew. And then Chris says that Drew often launches into a Litany of the world simple natural Joy's, which I feel like is basically what? Our segment. Drew loves is every week. Yeah, totally. And she says, she used to feel guilty and like she wasn't allowed to enjoy things, which is like we've heard her say that to ya.
But she said that she and Justine had recently had one night of complete happiness where they ran around naked on the beach at night and swung on a deserted swing. And on the way home, they stopped at McDonald's. So again, this is just like, Drew's, just trying to have a normal life and just do simple fun things, which is so cool. Yep. Yep. And then, at this point in the article, there are like, sitting outside eating Churros. And Justine, makes fun of Richard Marx music playing, which I cannot remember.
If I knew who Richard Marx is, do you? Is he, like, cheese balls? Yeah, it's like 80. Okay, you know, K adult contemporary, okay. And she says that Richard Marx is the kind of guy who would wear beige snakeskin boots. And then she goes into this part that I'm just, like, I did not remember this at all, maybe because I've gotta go through crime since like the last time I read this, I don't know. But she says that those boots saved her life once because she was asked out by one of the Menendez brothers, at a pizza parlor but said, no, because of his beige snakes Skin boots.
And if you don't know the Menendez brothers murdered their parents and it was literally like a few months later Drew saw on the news after being hit on by one of them like wild. Yeah I kind of agree about beige. They skin boots. Oh yeah. That'd be a big no for me. Yeah I agree. We would have been you know not into the Menendez brothers either. Drew And then she mentions that the last time she went to Magic Mountain Daffy Duck, tried to ask her out. And then made me laugh because I thought about those photos of her at the 1998 and time for Heroes were.
She's dancing with Daffy Duck. It's so great. So, great. The random, yes. Now we're back to Dad talk. It's funny how it just keeps coming up. So she talked about how difficult it is to, like track him down, because he just trips around. And she says, our family is crazy and I know his childhood. Is very hard, but at one point in his life, he had something to go with and he fucked it up and I can't understand people like that. Maybe people think that I try to do that, but I wasn't trying to ruin myself.
I never wanted to hurt what I had. So interesting, so, great. I mean, it just shows like how different she could have been and decided not to be. Yep. She talks about how she kind of keeps her dad away from everyone in her life. So I'm guessing like her friends. Don't really meet him or spend any time with him but Jamie had a chance to meet him which I thought was interesting but It was pretty serious about him so even though she was 18, she was trying to like, you know, find 17. Oh God, that's true because it was the year before.
So she talks about that she and her dad had a fight. The day that Jamie met her dad because he kept telling her a story about how he had scattered her grandfather's ashes. And then she said, she wanted to be buried under an avocado tree and she was like very insistent about it and he said without interest. Well, I hope that happens for you which really upset her. So she walked out crying Dying and he started quoting Bible verses. This is the part that I was like, why? I don't remember this and they just left.
So I thought that was an interesting segment but it was all like these like really emotional a lot of turmoil around her dad a very fascinating. Yeah. Yeah. And Chris says that even though everything she says about her dad is basically terrible. He gets the feeling that if her dad was to show up and say he loved her she'd be the happiest girl in the world, which I feel like that tracks. I mean, it makes me think about how How before he passed away. He looked at Jesus feet and told her that she was made, perfect.
I know. And it was like, finally, she got what she needed? Yeah, I don't remember where she talks about that but like that has always stuck with me. Yeah, it's like that. No matter what your relationship is with like your parental figure, whatever that person is. If they like say something to you that's encouraging or shows that they think that you're wonderful. It's like You know, maybe I'm like, maybe that's only my experience or maybe that's like, only some people's experience, but I feel like there's something so deep about that.
Well, especially if you never had it. She never had it from him and, you know. Yeah, anyways, true. All right, moving on. Yes, no more dad time. So then it just kind of talks about her career and, you know, starts all the way back with the games burger commercial and Altered States being her film debut. Yeah, so school was scary but acting was safe which tracks at it. Things we said before, like she didn't have a good time when she was in like regular school. But on set, she was having a great time.
She could be another person, which I always felt safe to her. Her mom kind of was a cool mom, so she taught her like bedtime stories were just yeskey and Henry Miller and her lullaby music was Janis Joplin and the doors and Drew was instead like scared of big birds so it's like she didn't really, you know, have this experience. She said I was always supposed to act older and professional responsible. So I had not a fucking clue what age I was which makes total sense talk about something that tracks like we never understand her age and never make sense either Dashi.
So yeah, so she said that she kind of became an adult age of 13 and we've said this quote before, but I don't know if we could identify what is from her? Maybe she said it many times something changed inside me. My childhood took the stairs and I took the elevator down to the lobby. And then says, it should really kind of grew up like this year. She's talking about the year of the article and she seems proud of where her life is up that point. She also, you know, she might be an adult but she also wears a chicken hat whenever she needs cheering up.
So she wears this hat but like makes you look like a chicken apparently and it makes her laugh and she doesn't mind when people stare at her when she's wearing it because it's for you know that reason instead of who she is. Yep, I like that. And it also said that she has insomnia and when she does, she reads A rights and that she was currently into writing erotic poetry and gets a little more into it. It says that one of them which was titled you and me, she wrote it over a painted American flag and hung it on the wall without telling anyone that it was her poem and people would get really uncomfortable when they read it and then she finally took it down after a boyfriend, read it.
And freaked out thinking it detailed her true. Variants might guide. What did this poem saying? I know. I'm like so scandalous. I wish we saw it. I mean, once again, it's like many other stuff that I'm like, she's describing like to show us the American flag but I like like she took it down. She probably has like get rid of it. Imagine that was just like in a dumpster. So it's like cool piece of art. So we're going to kind of just give a Content warning here, Drew lost her virginity of a young age.
She was only 14, why I'm once. Reported it was on the side of far from home. This article talks about that, it was in the desert and this is it's kind of hard to read. The guy was aggressively pursuing her and she kind of was like, doesn't sound like she's having the best time? She says, like, I kept my eyes closed the whole time. I mean, it's just hard to read. We're not going to go into it too much, but she does kind of say, like, it was kind of disappointing. Like, my friends acted, like it was the best thing in the world and like, I didn't have that experience, like beyond that she doesn't really seem like She's not like admitting to anything necessarily like bad.
It's just, we don't want to speculate, but I can't come away. I can't come away from reading it without feeling like something inappropriate happened here. Exactly. We'll just say that. And then it says that she wasn't close to her mother those days. Jade, of course, but they talked a lot back when this had happened and she recounts her mother's reaction to her, having had some This is cool for a reason, but let me read it and it said, Drew's mother never smoked. But when true told her she reached her, one of your cigarettes and lit up and she said I need to take this in for a while and I'll get back to you.
She smoked ever since and there is a scene in Whip-It where bless and her mother have a very similar conversation and the exact same thing happens. And clearly that came from Drew's personal life. Yeah. And we discussed This similarity back in our well, we actually have to whip it episodes at number four and five. Drew talks about how she smokes a ton of Camel cigarettes, and I wrote, duh, although I wrote down, I realize that earlier this episode she had marble resin her pocket. Yeah, I know. I was thinking the same thing.
I thought it was always the marble read but maybe she just switched or something. Yeah, maybe it's know Chris said, but her other too much too soon. Consumption seem more or less forgotten. She doesn't go to AA anymore. She flips in and out of therapy, a few months on a few months off. She's off now, and then Drew said, but I can feel it coming. And I just thought this was interesting as it's like, so many people go through these Cycles where it's like one Vice replaces another. And it's like, yeah, smoking is not, you know, cocaine, but that's the quote of the episode smoking.
It's not okay. I know if that if we titled or episodes with a quote, that's what. Yep, and then sheet. Talks about her career trajectory and that was kind of alluding to this earlier. So she was kind of playing good girls while she was a quote Coke fiend, party, nymphet, and that she now, quote plays with the wildness, with her rolls, through her post-rehab life, so that she's like clean, but she's still playing these like vampy bad girls. Yeah. You know, where I was like and she was like, actually kind of in trouble.
She was like, trying to find that place. And I'm a teenager and it was like, 10 and awkward awkward awkward. So she was filming Babes in Toyland. She's just a little baby boy lamb. Choose agent says that they would like to find something for drew that wasn't driven by her sexiness which again she's 18. Yeah. So weird and she said maybe a western or Drew is a professional Woman and bad girls. Definitely started filming like immediately after this. So I wonder if they were already eyeing it they must have been Maybe.
That's why they said maybe a western. Yeah, they were telling Crest like, oh don't. Yeah, we won't give the details, but that just alluded to in a little bit and then Drew and Justine exchanged. I love yous as Justine goes out, and this is just so funny. Quote jury says, we're like an old married couple. We really are. I wish I could find a boyfriend, like, Justine and she wishes she could find a boyfriend. Like me. This was interesting, even though I kind of recall some of this and maybe other things we've talked about.
Out. So Drew is furious about the release of the Amy. Fisher story on video because they had quote uncensored scenes of her body double. And she was worried about that. People would think it was her and she only filmed one love scene, which she said was 10 seconds long and both participants were fully clothed and then Drew kind of in this part kind of Drew is Ami but also again kind of feels like an 18 year old kid America thinking that I'm letting this man go down on me, makes me want to vomit.
I mean I don't blame her and that like the fact that they like because I know it was like, Dan censored version, Drew Barrymore, totally naked. Yeah, and she's 18. Yeah, she was 17. Oh my God. Anyway, the article finishes up talking about a recent GQ profile, which was in the, March 1993 issue of GQ and it says, it was unfavorable, which will have to go back and read that. I don't know, maybe it's just drew is perception. Yeah. So, it upset her and in the article, they said that she sashayed with Attitude around her house to which she replied please.
I don't Sashay, and then Chris jokes, but she sashayed rather well and then Drew pouted. Three after Chloe and said I shimmied for you darling and that's the end. It's really it's a really cute way for it to end. He just really has a great way of like setting the whole thing in your mind and giving fun details. Yeah. Again I wish there wasn't so much talk about how sexy she is, but it's a product of his time. Yep. Yep. It absolutely. Is I it feels like 1993 feels late for some of this mindset, but I'm also like, no.
Like, I know I mean, I also am like a Washings from like 2000 and I'm like, yeah. Oh yeah, that's early 2000s, were right? I'm sure. We'll hit on some of that stuff eventually. But at least she was an adult at that point. Yeah, absolutely, totally. Yeah. Anything else you want to say about the article? I think we got it all stemmed. I think I got it summed up and I think it was a fun one. Some interesting tidbits that I had forgotten and just a fun perspective from a young kind of rising again Drew?
Yeah, I think that was the earliest profile we've ever gone through. We'll have to just keep going backwards in time. Yeah, it'd be interesting to do like 83 It's just fun. Yeah, it would be interesting to do like some of the big ones, like, 89 people or something. Oh, yeah. To like really get into her little brain. Get into her little dog morning, Brian. Yes, we are.
