Drew Barrymore
Drew became wildly popular at too young an age, and, unnoticed by herself and others, she became an alcohol addict at 13. Slowly but surely, she was making a reverse transformation: from a beautiful swan to an ugly duckling of Hollywood. Countless scandals, tantrums, and overdoses eventually led the actress to an eight-month stint in a rehab clinic.
After leaving the clinic, she wrote poignant and surprisingly adult-sounding memoirs. Subsequently, Drew worked part-time as a waitress and a model, at the same time repaving her road to Hollywood. Today, Barrymore is a sought-after actress, a film studio owner, and a mother of two charming daughters.
On being asked what helped her not to succumb to depression, she invariably answers, “Sometimes, life puts you on your knees. Well, isn’t this an appropriate posture for prayer?!”
