She’s a Barrymore it’s in their blood :( They probably did see it coming…she’s a warrior.

@@MsTinkerbelle87 it’s in nobody’s “blood”. She had an unstable home life, and both her parents introduced her to drugs and alchohol. Her father was a violent drunk, and her mom would take her out with her friends late at night, five times a week or more and let her drink and do other bad stuff like that. Because drew would feel anxious before interviews like this, her mom would get her drunk to help her “loosen up” and become more talkative. It was the influence of her parents… I really think drew wouldn’t have gone down such a dark path if she just had more responsible parental figures in her life. Poor thing :( she was SO young…

Very sad.i would have taken care of her and she would have said " poppa

Never knew that. That is heartbreaking. 😔 Glad she came out better on the other side. Cant imagine how hard that must have been... 💞

I know, I was thinking the same thing. She’s about a year older than me, and I always loved her and kind of looked up to her growing up. She was such a delightful, real, bright, charming little girl, and it’s so heartbreaking watching this interview, because you know what’s coming. She pulled out of it, though. Mad snaps for that. She still seems like a very warm and kind and down-to-earth person.

Carson was wonderful at interviewing people and bringing out who they are.

Yeah, that was nice of him! She seemed to be so embarrassed...

You are bright I spotted that too

Well, I love her shoes too!

​@@nowisthetime7461Carson's right. Her shoes are really pretty.

I couldn’t get over how smart & so interested she was to listen to Johnny Carson as she smoothly & confidently responded to 16:11 Johnny Carson’s questions.

Because the farther back in time you go the more people treated children with respect and responsibility allowing them to be like this unlike today where we treat them like babies until aged 18

@@LordBeauchamp1994 h she was exposed to drugs and alcohol at age 10..that's not treating children with respect.

He seemed very uncomfortable to me.

Agreed. And at the very end he reminded her to wave to the audience, and then she had the presence of mind to turn back and wave to him. Johnny was perfect with her.

Repent to Jesus Christ “Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them. For everything in the world-the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life-comes not from the Father but from the world.” ‭‭1 John‬ ‭2:15-16‬ ‭NIV‬‬ I

@@jesusislord6545 Your post is in the wrong place! lol!

That's kids for ya... often spill beans. Maybe that's why a lot of parents don't want their kids to talk. The parents keep things under wraps and whether their kids would tell something to others outside the immediate family that would be personal, wrong or whatever, my father didn't want us kids speaking out. I cannot count how many times when I was growing up at home that my father said " I'm going to tell you something but it should be kept in the house." I suppose he felt a need to share stuff anyway that often should not have even been said. 😱

She also said she never kissed her goodnight

the part about "my mom would kill me..." Is metaphorical, not literal! as far as "my mom is always on the phone" how many people would Drew have known at age 7 to need to speak to by phone?!! Not very many. This 20 or 30 years ago when people used wind up dial phones, and party lines, I am about 4 or 5 years older than Drew, and my parents didn't let me talk non stop on the phone at that age. Also I didn't know very many people to talk to. Now, 12/19/2022 I have about 350 contacts in my Moto G Pure Smartphone and email list and other Social media like KZfaq. We live in a different world than Drew's 7 y.o. world back then.

@@LunazulBaraka Drew was probably just joking about that. I'm sure she was saying that she wanted more kisses than she was getting, her mother being busy.

I thought the same thing too. She has triumphed through so much and I admire her for that.

A dumb question to ask any child actor!

💯 agree. Her chubby cheeks, lips, hair, her head when she is talking, talkative, funny. Damn Hollywood doesn't change her personality. Love her 🤩

I agree. She hasn’t changed a bit

I love your crown Pebbles! Father God has one saved especially for you 😉

She was probably drunk, remember she went to aa at 12 years old

🖒

Well put

Charming although she had to perform an adult role.

Appreciate your evaluation. I adore her too. She's so innocent. Love Her.

Absolutely agree

This is going into my liked library. Watch it whenever I need a cheer up lift. This is an ANTI DEPRESSANT.

Drew is an incredible human being. To go from this, to Hollywood party favour, to a has been, all before she completed her teens. Most people wouldn’t even try for a comeback after all that, but thankfully, she did, and she’s STILL a total sweetheart! 🤩

Back, when late night talk show hosts, were enjoyable and fun to watch. Today, they can be too political and mean spirited. Drew was adorable, interacting with Johnny. Miss those days.

I feel the same way. It reminds me how much has changed since then. Innocence is being destroyed at earlier and earlier ages now.

I love her💕

Yeah, I'm so happy she was among one of many successful child actors to obtain success in adult life like Ron Howard, Jodie foster, not succumbing to drug/alcohol abuse.

@Heloise O'Byrne glad that she stays the same, even better💕

@@cs4451 unfortunately she started abusing drugs and alcol at a very early age...round about 8 or 9 years old

@@jaynecrawford7043 ohh , I did not know that

No. Not at 7 years old. Maybe like 5 years later

You are absolutely right, Johnny Carson is the best!

So true Jeffrey. Talk show hosts today only make jokes to lift their own egos and direct attention to themselves.

Jeffrey, indeed! All the current late night hosts are garbage...they should all be cancelled!

I wept through his final show, and still weep whenever I see a clip of his sign-off.

The way he calmed her down after being embarrassed about slipping was expertise in motion.

To second star in mediocre Adam Sandler films yes. Just kidding but Drew is a natural and had it since a young child. True talent.

Kids were smarter back then..its just a fact.

@@3joewj Kids today have no idea how to interact with people. They're too busy on their "SMART" phones. (ironic) 😔

He didn't keep much of an eye on her, as she was going to clubs at age 9, and given booze and drugs.

I’m interested, you say drew had a tough time after et, what happened to her?

@@sweetmisvixen she basically was on her own from age 8. Her mom was busy partying etc. Drew became a drug addict by the time she was 11, by herself at Hollywood parties and hanging with people much older than her. In her late teens she was in rehab and got herself figured out, but went through a lot of stuff in those 10 years. I'm proud of her for coming out stronger and whole. Many child actors don't make it

Lmao same.

Kind hearted man? Johnny Carson was an abusive drunk to his family and people in show business.

@@truantray Not sure where you got the blanket title "abusive drunk". He was apparently mean spirited when drunk (like a lot of people), gave up the drink pretty early on. Beloved by all but his family, yeah a neglectful parent more than an outright abusive one. He'd come home and play the drums and detach from his family.

Drew was as cute as a button and so entertaining. That little girl was bursting with personality. Natural born comedian.

I agree ,it makes everyone think they want a little girl as she was absolutely adorable ,and sugar and spice. 🥰🤗

She made you wanna watch her! And listen 👍🏿 Her delivery is amazing! Timing is spot on! She thinks b4 she talks😉

It's sad to know that Drew was alcohol and drug addicted at such a extremely young age (she literally had to go on rehab with 9 years), plus she was getting abused by so many old men at parties and getting neglected by her own mother. Like her mom doesn't even give her a good night kiss. That's just for shadowing how she was searching for any type of affection in older men, who have totally different intentions with her. She luckily found a way out of that, she's definitely a strong woman.

Hi👋

And she's got a great personality and followed her right into her adulthood her show is great, she's very natural and down-to-earth the only thing I don't like is the old fashion cloth she wears, it was ugly blouses with a bow, who is dressing her before she comes on the show? I'm sure a lot of people think the same thing but won't say it

@@ursulamullikin4723 I liked her outfits she wore on Letterman.

​@ursulamullikin4723 First of all, that is not a blouse. It's a dress. Second of all, It may look a bow, but it's actually a ribbon.

I found it particularly interesting that the only way she brought up her mom was her constantly saying “she would kill me” or “she’s on the phone too much” that’s who she knew her mom as at that age :(

@@saritas4158 Yes, so sad. She's suffered so much, yet in every interview that I've seen of her, she's so calm, kind and respectful to the interviewer and audience. Have you seen the video on her YT channel where she's filmed driving through her old childhood neighborhood and stomping ground as a youth? It's very touching, powerful and motivational all at the same time.

all the indicators were there. the people who surround children - stars or not - must be able to interpret these signs and act on them. where was the stephen she loved when she was falling down a bottomless pit?

I do believe Stephen's impact on Drew is what shaped her to have the strenght to get through so many challenges in life. Had she not been in that movie and had his unconditional guidance and love we may not have ever known the incredible woman that she became.

I agree with you. So sad when she said he mother never kisses her goodnight because she's always on the phone. Just the beginning.

She must have been born kind and empathetic. I’m so glad she was able to get a grip on her substance abuse problem early. What a wonderful chance it gave her at a very satisfying life and career🥰

You said it oicsaywhat ! I was thinking that the whole time I watched this. 👍

Did she really?!!! Omfg smh. That's freaking terrible.
