I do not own any copyrights. This was recorded on VHS in the 90's. Drew Barrymore interviews on both Oprah and Arsenio Hall in 1990 discussing her book Little Girl Lost.
It's funny how she seems so serious and down when she was 15 and now that she's 40+ she seems more child like. I think she's way more happy as an adult.
She now gets to be the free child she never got to be. And a much much better mother to her beautiful daughters (: Who aren't burdened by evil, selfish, uncaring parents who use you as a paycheck. What Drew's parents did to her was child abuse. She is so strong!
@@mrsweatshirt4047 I thought it was much longer than that? It isn’t really my business, but i thought she quit everything, but maybe occasional pot here and there since she was a kid? That’s just what I’ve always heard.
yeah... I love how they talk to her like she is responsible for her actions at 8,9 or even 15y/o. oof I love the stigma around child depression like it doesn't exist... hopefully Oprah knows better now ...
Jaid institutionalised her for a year around age 13, 14 was when she won emancipation due to the psych ward admittance, this interview was done when she was 15. That alone would make anyone dark. Poor Drew. What a horrid childhood.
Yeah, I noticed she was smiling and then turned her head to her mother and the smile immediately dropped. I think they’ve since reconciled but she didn’t like that woman at all back then, huh?
I dislike the accusatory tone Oprah had with Drew. Having an accusatory tone with Drew’s mother is appropriate. But her shady tone toward Drew bothered me.
I felt that, too. But she also complimented her ("How could you not look in the mirror and think you were beautiful?") and empathized with her ("I went through this").
Why is Oprah acting like it’s Drew’s fault? She was a child. Yeah she puts some of the blame on her mom, but it’s clearly the parent’s fault since she was getting ahold of alcohol at 9 years old.
That just blows my mind. That an 8 year old would drink two glasses of champagne. That's so dangerous giving a child that age strong alcohol. What adult would do that? Where was her mom? And before she was even 15 she was doing hard drugs, cocaine. Astonishing. This is the problem with children brought into celebrity/acting at a young age, they don't get to grow up normally. It's a familiar story, Michael Jackson was same and ended up a drug addict.
I totally agree, but why would you "be ashamed to even sit there"?? It wasn't Drew's fault, so there's no reason for *her* to feel any shame/be ashamed. Her *mom* should be ashamed!
It was all meant to happen. Drew grew into a much stronger person because of all of that. I'm sure even she recognizes that now and wouldn't change a thing about her past. We always grow the strongest through the most challenging times in life. Those challenges are put into our paths for a reason.
I mean, what kind of "adult parties" are we talking about? I daresay, if you're at an all adult party full of untrustworthy people doing shady things and you need to worry about your child being unsupervised there, they shouldn't even be there in the first place! If you're at, say, a wedding or a housewarming party or cookout or some other type of gathering that might very well have alcohol, that's an "adult party" but you aren't going to hover over your kids. Because almost no parent suspects they need to keep watch out for their child drinking at NINE. Did this woman fall short as a parent? Absolutely, inarguably. But I don't think it's negligence for a child to run around having fun at a social gathering.
She’s said many times in later years that she was still very much an addict here. This was her redemption tour but her recovery came years later. I’m not putting her down either, I think she’s an incredible human being, I just think that piece of information makes her even more extraordinary.
@@clockwinder2924 because they were probably high end home house party u know kids in pool give me a break my parents had couple parties we snuck alcohol her mom looks fine. You people are way too uptight kids drink remember high school lol.
@Julie Lovestrees, Sorry I didn’t mean to offend, but by her own admission she went way beyond a bit of alcohol. Also no, at nine (I wasn’t in high school at that age) my parents actually did keep an eye on my siblings and I if we were at an “adult” party (by that I mean alcohol freely flowing and swimming pools, that can lead to drowning.etc) I wasn’t referring to parties for 15 year olds. I apologise if it makes me uptight to wish to keep a decent amount of supervision on a child that is under ten. (Yes, I know she’s older than that here, it’s not the age I was referring to.) Still, I come more from a place of sadness rather than judgment and I do apologise if it came across as such. Also, by homeschooling, I mean that the Barrymores are wealthy, so surely something could have been done about the relentless bullying that Drew referred to. Aren’t our children our most precious people that we must take care of?
@deekat3279 That’s good, my parents worked too. You don’t have to be wealthy to homeschool, nor do I think it’s necessary. It’s just she said being bullied lead to her drug use. The Barrymores are an acting legacy family, so if she was being bullied, maybe they could of afforded to change her school. Not accusing her mother of this, but who bought her the drugs and alcohol if she didn’t have her own money? Please don’t get me wrong, I’m the same age as Drew and I grew up a big Drew Barrymore fan and I still enjoy her movies. I just remember, even as a child, being shocked that she was allowed to be out behaving like that (because of her self admitted drug addiction,) I don’t judge addicts and I admire how she’s put her life back together, but her parents should have kept a better eye on a child who was only nine years old.
Wow lets talk about Arsenio's interview. He was sooo nice towards Drew. And so sympathetic wow. At the end he said for her to call him if she needed help. His entire interview was refreshing. I wonder if they are still cool.
When anyone has a spirit as bright as Drew's, people will try and do anything they can to extinguish it. She's clearly suffering so much here. Someone this sweet was made to feel like she was a misguided, "bad girl". Anyone in her situation would have spiraled. I hate that people didn't give her the love and comfort she needed and she had to try and numb herself to survive. Thank God, she survived.
Drew's face lit up at the mention of Steven Spilberg. She loved him very much. She felt that he was the first person who cared about her. I take he was like the father she never had.
she said that when he found out that she posed for playboy, he had all of the images of her in the magazine digitally editied to clothe her! 😝 If that doesnt scream "dad energy"... lol
@@tetflaminiano1674 totally. what kind of a grown adult would make an 8 yr old girl drink 2 glasses of champagne? If doing that didn't have any ulterior motives, then thats just plainly immature. People at the parties could've gotten her drunk on purpose.
That we know of. If I were betting I would say a lot of horrible things happened. She still doesn't speak to her mother. Shes an awsome person and these experiences have made her who she is today. Strong as F-ck
She’s so articulate and eloquent. Such a sweet energy and beautiful wounded soul who I am amazed survived the he’ll she went through. So happy she has succeeded in her life. She’s obviously very intelligent
Drew is extraordinary. Her hurts took her to a dark place, but her intelligence and talents took her out of it. She is an adorable person. She brightens my day with her wonderful Show. She is showing the way for people who have taken a dark way of life and are searching for the Light. Drew is remarkable. She is a very lovable person. May God bless her always. 😇✝️
I alway,s wanted to buy her book Little Girl lost for many years now i see alot of myself un her all m'y life her show is amazing theres only one Drew Barrymore 💖✨
Admirable? Her mother was neglectful and parentified her. She abandoned her daughter to the debauchery and corruption of Hollywood, she’s lucky her daughter wasn’t molested..if she wasn’t.
Last night I saw a clip from Johnny Carson with Drew when she was 7, and today I saw this. What a dramatic change in the life and times of such a beautiful and talented young lady.
Drew was so different here. I used to watch her E True Hollywood story, so I knew she had a horrific childhood with her mother, but the contrast of herself as an adult, to a teenager is so stark. I’m glad she’s much happier and free now.
This is a feedback has really healed my heart darling, I am grateful, thank you so much for your support and prayers to my career 😇 where are you watching from?
Aisling SMITH I don't think she's directing aggressiveness to Drew; I think it's more she's annoyed that Jaid wasn't there to see what Drew was up to. Either way, Oprah isn't being mean to either of them. Before anything is recorded, she talks to everyone involved about the questions she'll be asking, etc. Nothing wrong with the way Oprah did/does her shows. ❤️ I know a lot of people mention how mean or rude she is to her guests, but I've never seen it. I've been watching her since I was a baby in the '80s. 😊
Hardly vicious, let's not exaggerate. Oprah was in her right mind to be furious that this abuse and neglect happened to this child right in front of her, with her witless mother sitting there taking no responsibility. Who wouldn't be angry to see that? If you want to see vicious watch Diane Sawyer interview a lone, teenaged Britney Spears in the early 2000s
I'm from UK born in 92 I'm not sure who the male talk show host was but made me tear up it seemed like he really was rooting for her and he said it was important to have her on. He treated her with kindness, respect and dignity. I was surprised because most 80s and 90s interviews were generally quite brutal especially when you didn't see them when it was"ok" to be like that.
I love how the mom acts she didn’t know that’s what was going on. You took her to the party you clearly cared more about your own social life than the safety of your child. She sent home with you you couldn’t tell she had alcohol? Come on!
Heartbreaking, but so inspiring to see how she took control of her life and turned it ALL around. I just love this girl, always have been rooting for her, and so thrilled with her successes. Drew, you've come a long way, baby!
I'm guessing you're under the age of 40? There really wasn't any such thing as Social Services like there is today. Even so, kids in Hollywood still aren't protected
Wow she was so smart since childhood! It was her sharp mind that helped her get back on her feet before she was doomed! I always saw her as this sunny, bubbly person, always smiling that I had no clue she has been thru all this as a child! Mad respect!!
What a beautiful young woman. I'm not talking about her appearance. I wish there were more people in the world with her kind of grace and graciousness.
❤❤thank you so much for your 😅whooping notification and I sincerely appreciate you streaming my contents here on the RU-vid channels where are you watching from ??
I had such a crush on Drew berrymore when I was younger. She is such a great person. She grew up to be one of the best show hosts in my opinion. Love her.
Is hard to see if everyone at school is saying that you are not beautiful, and you feel hurt because of the absence of her father, and her mother because she was working or partying with her daughter, when she should be talking care of her
Alcoholism doesn't get passed through genes. Depression and other mental health disorders do. People become alcoholic because they try to self- medicate
ARSENIO HALL WAS ONE OF THE BEST INTERVIEWERS AND TALK SHOW HOSTS OF HIS DAY,,, AMEN🙏🙏🙏!!! HE WAS ALSO HYSTERICALLY FUNNY 🤣😝😜,.. AND VERY INTELLIGENT AND SENSITIVE!!! I HOPE HE IS GIVEN ANOTHER TALK SHOW AND OR TELEVISION INTERVIEW SITUATION AGAIN VERY SOON🙏!!!
Dtew will always be my favorite. Very intelligent even as a kid. She's soooo beautiful!!! Watching from the Philippines. I've watched her interviews when she was a kid and keep on watching again and again. Love you Drew❤❤❤❤❤
God bless Drew Barrymore, she got through a very rough time... so happy she can enjoy her birthdays with many true heartfelt kind friends... She pays it forward with helping others, simply love her. Have a wonderful Christmas and healthy New Year!
Bless her heart at least she realizes that it was not good for her and she made a change that is wonderful I think this absolutely wonderful that she brought her self attention to that and made a change good for you Drew Barrymore I think this fabulous it takes a lot to make a change that wonderful💕
I think Hall made a well done professional job. Just interviewing, reporting facts, getting Barrymore comfortable. He didn't, even in the slightest way, judge. Winfrey totally did.
She’s very honest wow. Drew has been one of my idols since I saw her in 51 st date with Adam Sandler. That’s when I learned about their connection and her story. I was like 14. That’s 10 years now. She’s very very strong to have been here at one point.
I adore Drew Barrymore she changed her life around got clean and focused on her acting career and doing fantastic today. Thank God ! She didn't end up one of those Hollywood casualties like so many other young stars.
How disgusting Oprah is for questioning Drew in the way and tone that she did. I can see the true Oprah coming through with no compassion for anyone else but herself. Thankfully Arsenio had much more understanding compassion and delicate way of interviewing Drew.. So glad that Drew managed to overcome all the issues that she had to deal with.. Sending love hugs and positive vibes to Drew... XXXXX
So amazing the woman that Drew Barrymore has become. A cautionary tale about children in the limelight and the need for a parent to do exactly that.... parent.
She was at Disneyland riding the Matterhorn when she was just 12. Crazy 80s. She pulled through though, whatever you think of her you have to give her props for not getting defeated... good for her.
I remember reading her book as a teen and being heartbroken at all she went through. Jade wasn’t the best mom, but the fact that Drew published this book, shows that at least Jade let her tell her story. I can respect that.
Having been on both sides of this fence it’s a challenging situation for both, it was an era of lack of parental supervision and woman having to work twice as hard to make something of themselves and still be a single parent. Woman were also scrutinised a lot more for wanting a career where is now it is expected. The silver lining of it all is Drew is such an amazing strong and compassionate woman doing it all with grace a single parent with a full time career 🥰
I was born in L.A. My parents were in production 20 yrs before I was born I was carted around to auditions most of my young life I got a few commercials Filmed a pilot ( that never aired) I'm 48 now and still in therapy Finding me self worth after years of drug abuse and self destruction Keep yr children away from HeLLywooD I barely made it out alive
A daughter like Drew is a treasure really. If her mom got that in mind and concerns about her daughter future she would have taken her welfare seriously. She is not a good mother of a good girl.
A child actress l grew up watching since she starred in ET I am so happy she did not continue to self distruct on drugs and alcohol. She has her own talk show was married with two children. Proud of her.
Are you kidding Drew has always been beautiful, I fail in Love with her ever since ET. any one who says she is less then beautiful is not from this planet, Drew you have been perfect every day of your life, just keep swimming.
I started watching drew Barrymore interviews this evening. This is the only the third one I'm just going to make a night of it. At 9 minutes I'm surprised Drew Barrymore has not accused her mom of anything as heat. But with what I have seen so far her mother wasn't there for her. So the first interview she 7 and promoting ET. When I heard her talk about her mom not having time to kiss her goodnight because of always being on the phone I don't think she realized yet how wrong that was of her mother. Man she's talking about the first time she got drunk and her mother is saying she was withdrew at the party but they each went their separate ways I think my mouth dropped open. Even though I hadn't watched the whole clip yet I see Arsenio saying the mother should have been taking care of her child not one of her at a party. I've not yet heard Drew blame her own mother yet I only hear Drew taking responsibility for everything she done. Good Lord she was only a child. I'll bet you almost anyting mom was making a good bit of money off of her daughter.
My mom had a really horrible life and she told me all the time when I was young how much she loved drew Barrymore and how they were so much alike. I know why now 😢. My mom was SAed by her father and started drinking and doing drugs when she was 8
I remember her being on a show telling the host she had friends at school then she says she had one friend that wouldn't tease her and actually liked her when I heard her say that I understood why her life turned out the way it had at that age
