Drew Barrymore
Drew Barrymore broke out with her childhood role as Gertie in E.T., but her first onscreen role was in Ken Russell’s creepy Altered States, which also marked the film debut of William Hurt. Barrymore was barely five.
She built on her childhood horror cred with starring roles in the 1984 Stephen King adaptation Firestarter and 1985’s Cat’s Eye, based partly on King’s Night Shift. And she had one of the most memorable scenes in horror history with the opening sequence of Scream.
A star across five decades, she now hosts The Drew Barrymore Show.
